Shirataki Noodles

Shirataki noodles are commonly referred to as konjac or miracle noodles. Because they are incredibly satisfying and have few calories, they are a popular low-carb substitute for spaghetti. They are made from glucomannan, a type of fiber obtained from the konjac plant. Because glucomannan is a soluble fiber, it can absorb water and gel up in your gut. Your digestion will be slowed as a result, which may help you feel fuller for longer.

Your gut bacteria use soluble fibers as food to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs may reduce inflammation and boost the immune system. Noodles made from shirataki are simple to make. Simply take them from the box, rinse them well under hot running water to remove the liquid and warm them up. After that, add your preferred sauce.
