miracle noodles

**hcghoping** · February 3rd, 2013, 03:42 PM

I am only 8 days into my first ever round, but i am very familiar with the shirataki noodles, and get the konjac foods brand. Be careful not to get the kind with soy in them, or the hungry girl brand (at least not in p2). The thing with shirataki noodles is that preparation is key to how good they are. I personally stick to asian style preparations, and find that the texture works well with that. Though some enjoy them in the italian style. I made a video on how to prepare them, it's on youtube the recipe wont work, as i would've used sesame oil and things that are not allowed on p2, but you will get an idea of how to prepare them. If you google ginger tahini shirataki, it will come up

Oh, and the fishy smell- there's no fish, its calcium hydroxide, and the smell rinses off

these noodles actually are why i want to find out if braggs aminos are ok on p2...
I was so glad to see that hcg chica uses them! yay!

elusha, your post made me wonder if a p2 rendition of chinese tomato beef would work well?

Has anyone asked Grammy about the miracle noodles?

**hcgpro2** · February 11th, 2013, 01:38 PM

I'm about 99.9% positive she would not recommend them, especially not for P2. She advocates strict protocol.

I hate to "talk for her" but I just can't see her liking them.

I haven't tried them myself...but I may someday. I'd just have to make sure to read all about them first to make sure they don't end up tasting weird

the trick to these things is that you HAVE TO RINSE THEM. Put them in a strainer, turn on the faucet and WALK AWAY. come back 5 minuets later, put them in a pot, and boil them. then strain them again and leave them in a container with filtered water to use when you want..

There is no way I could eat these things out of the bag and I hope no one else even tries to, whatever they're soaked in is so gross. But make an awesome P2 tomato sauce with some fresh herbs like basil, oregano, lots of garlic and onion, a full tomato, little bit of braggs, stevia powder, veggie salt and some P2 mustard and they are soooo good! I make a chicken and red sauce and pour it over these almost every night!

I know they dont effect my losses... And I'm always satisfied at meal times

That's so funny. I eat mine with just a quick rinse. I have no idea what the horrid smell is that people keep referencing and I am pretty sensitive to smells.

I used them R1P2 almost everyday and lost 13kgs - 28 lbs. At Asian stores you can also buy konjac in blocks and use it to bulk out things like desert. My sense was it was important to switch things around to avoid stall.

There are so many yummy asian style soups, salads that can be made with these noodles

This has off protocol elements for those who are purists but my latest desert treat is to microwave my strawberries, add about a tspn apple cider vinegar, stevia, cinnamon to taste - let it all mix for a while. This is quite yummy on its own if you want to stay pure. To create something even more yummy Melt 1.5 tspn coconut oil in microwave, add a small amount of raw cocoa powder and some coconut essence. Mix it all up. Put in a small bowl in freezer for a few hours. You can chop up little squares of konjac block and add in -has no taste but absorbs flavours and adds volume.

Hi ladies,

Ancient thread, I know, but I'm interested to know what size portion is allowed of the Shiritaki noodles as I'd like to try it.

Thanks,

From what I understand it is not permitted in phase 2, even though people do eat the noodles in all stages. In phase 2, it causes some to stall, others to be unable to to stabilize and some folks have no problem at all.

I would like to know what amount in the Shirataki noodle or miracle noodles is used in 1 service?

**Leez** · May 8th, 2019, 08:35 PM

Miracle noodes have zero calories, so that would not have a limit. Shiritaki noodles do have calories, so those would go towards your 500 calorie limit.

However, neither is on protocol, so it really doesn't matter as you will be experimenting anyway to see if they work for you.

I have used the shiritaki noodles, lost 80 lbs in 4 rounds, no problem (and my other rounds to take 20 back off). I use anywhere from half a bag to a full bag in a meal (depending on hunger). Some days it's half a bag with my protein/veggies for lunch the other half for dinner, other super hungry days I do 2 bags without issue. They are extremely helpful to not feel hungry/starving.

Leez
My Packaging say no Calory Noodles as well as Shirataki Noodles
And Calorie value for 100gm (half a pack/1 serving) = 2.6
I have about 3 packs in the house but have not used it as part of my meal plan....
May try it once and only if my losses improve again
