I have to dissagree, I have eaten ALOT of these for a while now and Zero Noodles are waaaaay nicer in my opinion. They dont smell as fishy and they have alot better texture; they are firmer and less slimey. plus they are almost half the price...so a no brainer I think :-) Id go with Zero...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let you know about this recipe i tried last night with shirataki noodles as i works really well. Its is noodles in peanut satay sauce and is definately worth a try: zero noodles Handful of sliced carrots Handful of broccoli florets Handful of sliced mushrooms...

Thanks Knickers, I actually tried your zero noodle red thai recipe and loved it! I will definately be makeing that one regularly.:)

I get mine online for only £1.58 and thats for 200g so you can get 2 servings from it but you can also get them pretty cheaply in some asian supermarkets... a few ppl on the Atkins forum say they get them for their local asian supermarket for even less then this! I think you just need to shop...

I get mine from www.zeronoodles.com, they are the cheapest I'v found. Quite alot of people on the Atkins forum have said that they get them in their local asian supermarkets for cheaper but the ones i have been to around London are quite expensive boooo! Im a big advocate of them.....as you...

Hi guys, I just wanted to stop by and tell you about Shirataki Noodles...Im from the Atkins forum where they are quite popular and after contacting the company they said that they were compatible with the Dukan diet too...so just though you might like to know :) You might already know about them...

Knickers please could you share your red thai noodles recipe in the recipe section...id love to try it as i tend to eat zero noodles every night for dinner and need some variations on chicken laksa. Also your so lucky to get them so cheap, i have tried all my local asian supermarkets around...

ooh how do you do cauli rice? i tried the courgette spahetti but it was awful... think i prob did it wrong as it came out soggy and salty and grose augh!

Sorry about the late reply here. I usually do them with a kind of laksa sauce...with curry spices and coconut cream, soy sauce, fish sauce etc. Also have you ordered from miracle noodles yet? i just had a look but it actually works out more expensive than zero noodles if you buy 10 or...

ooh yes i love carbonara...i will give that a go then, thanks. I have posted my laksa recipe in the recipe sticky x

Zero Noodles chicken Laksa Chicken Laksa Recipe 2 to 3 tbsp laksa paste in pan Add sliced chicken breast and a splash of coconut milk, cook for a few mins. Add half can of coconut milk and 1pinf chicken stock. When boiling add a handful of mange tout, sliced spring onion, a handful of...

Hi guys, i just wanted to let you know that last night i used these to make chicken laksa and it was absolutely lovely! defo the best recipe i have tried with these..if you have them you should all try this as it works really well with them. Im still needing some more recipes to try with...

haha i loooove starbucks...not sure i could control myself if i could get them for free all day...would be a nightmare! Is soy milk better than regular on the atkins???

haha yes the do look a little strange in the pack but once mixed with food they look the same as rice noodles...you should give them a go :-)

I have actually been debating this myself and decided that it is near impossible for me to not have any caffein at all. I also find that it helps me as it fills the gap when im tired and craving sugary junk whilst also stopping hunger pangs. Glad to hear that it is ok to have a little...dont...

you can only get them from www.zeronoodles.com, miracle noodles are the American version. Yes they are defo ok on Atkins...i eat them all the time and LOVE THEM!

Hi guys. I too have just been diagnosed with Pcos and the reason u store fat around ur stomach is because of the insulin resistance that comes with Pcos. This means u have too much insulin in urblood and so excess sugar is stored as fat very easily, predominantly around ur abdomen. You can...

umm they are called zero noodles...think maybe they are similar to shirataki...maybe the english version???

Thanks Louise. I actually emailed them to make sure they are ok on the Atkins diet..they said they were. They have no net carbs, no sugar, no fat and only 10cals per pack, they are also really high in fiber (which i imagine would be quite useful on this diet!!). They are fab! they are...

Thanks guys theats really helpful. This diet sounds alot more enjoyable than the atkins diet and alot healthier too so think i may give it a shot ! Im also making my list today and hittng the supermarket...wish me luck! xx

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could give me a quick lowdown of this diet. Im currently on a low cal diet but am considering changing onto this diet or the Atkins diet as im getting a little bored now. Im not sure what kind of diet this is so would appreciate a quick explanation...

Hi everyone, Im currently on a low calorie diet which has worked very well (lost about 14lbs) but am getting a little bored now and so want to try thr Atkins plan to lose the next stone. My diet currently consists of Zero Noodles for dinner every night...which i think i can still eat on this...

hi all, I just wanted to let you know about this great recipe that works fantastically with the zero noodles...made it the other day and it only came to 300 cals and i literally couldn't eat it all as it was so filling. It was Thai chicken and mushroom broth from this recipe... Thai chicken &...

squidgyer....not sure it is but i like it! haha I find they are better if you dry roast them first in a non stick pan and they work best with think sauces like with light cream cheese mixed with a bolognaise sauce as it then sticks to the noodles. I tend to add a spoon of light philli to...

ahh thats a shame, I think they are definitely an acquired taste and take a bit of getting used to. Bit like marmite either love or hate them!

So littlesis.....whats the verdict? yummy hay! and any other recipe ideas for them? my dinner every night seems to pretty much revolve around these and veg so could do with a few new recipes to try with them. x

oooh that sounds lovely, I had them for lunch today with a peanut satay sauce and tofu and it was absolutely gorgeous! it was so indulgent yet still only 400cals...which was pretty much all in peanut butter. you should really try it littlesis, you will loooove it!

ahh is that why, makes sense i guess, would love to know what's in the asian supermarket brand but its all written in chinese so no idea. I think your right though and since the zero noodles are a uk brand they probably process them differently to avoid the fishy weirdness. yuk! I love fish...

wow thats great!! right you have now inspired me to try even harder, Im going to try and go for 4lbs too...are you exercising alot?? x

Hay there, so i went to my local asian supermarket today and bought some of their shirataki noodles and got them home and realised that they were MORE expensive than zero noodles, £1.90 for only 180g when i pay only £1.58 for 200g zero noodles online. Also when i opened them they smelt...

sorry, that was meant to say ... low GI )

I always have 2 pieces of wholemeal toast with sugar free peanut butter. 400casls low Hi and high protein so keeps me full until lunch

I feel the same soshbyfly..total lifesaver! Not sure the Asian ones are totally the same though as zero noodles don't smell of fish at all...which I have heard being mentioned before. I think I pay about 1.80 but I may try the ones from my Asian supermarket if they are cheaper, although not sure...

I must admit i found the texture a little strange at first but i actually really like it now...has a bit more of a bite to it than pasta. They do keep you regular too as they are high in fibre and if you get hungry alot they are great as a filler food. Think they help with weightloss to as...

sorry about my late reply but here it is... i emailed zero noodles and they said they are only available online at the moment but they will be in stores at some point over the next year, also they are only available n the UK at the moment (( sorry Aline. mayb e you can get someone to post some...

I think 1400cals is alot more sensible and you will still lose alot of weight from doing that long term. If you hit a plateau maybe you should try zig zagging your cals with 1400 one day, 1200 then next then 1300 the next so that your body doesn't get used to it, also if one day a week you go...

I just tried the tesco honey mustard dressing and its yuuuumy!! and very low in calories which is perfect! Also I have just rediscovered my childhood with mini milks...OMG they are amazing and only 30cals!!!! so you can have 3 for under 100calories (well if you are greedy like me!) these...

I know I couldn't believe it either! i cant rave about these enough! cant believe i haven't heard of them until now. Im so addicted. I havent found them anywhere else but I will email them now to see if you can buy them in stores... the postage is a bugga isnt it! if you bulk buy it works out...

Hi leela, sorry for the late response. I get my noodles from Zero Noodles. definitely worth a try. Thanks themango but i have tried that one...actually i have had it a few times now and thoroughly enjoy them. And caroline thanks for the dressing suggeation, not sure if i have tried that one...

I totally agree Caroline, wholemeal pasta is sooo much nicer and also has alot more nutrients. I have been taking small portions (200cals) of brown pasta to work for lunch with lots of veg and tuna or chicken, also made an egg and crab salad with pasta or zero noodles which was lovely...

Hi, yes im doing that too, I have combined it with 1200 cals a day...its basically just a healthy diet then. Its working out really well for me and i have been losing on average 2-3lbs a week. I have fallen off the wagon a few times though and had some alcoholic beverages and chocolate, but as...

what a great idea, maybe i will try the home version first, to get my confidence up a bit.

I have been looking at this for a while, would love to go but the thought is a little daunting. is it hard to keep up...im not a great dancer but it looks like alot of fun. Don't want to be the fat clumsy one at the back sweating my arse off! heehee!

All under 100 cals- low fat yogurts, light version of crisps, solaro ice creams, twister ice creams, cadburys fudge bar, serving of fish, serving of tofu, tomato sauce bases. VERY low calorie or calorie free- egg whites, celery, tomatoes, onions, Zero Noodles, Shirataki Noodles, sugar...

I eat these pretty much every day, love them! they are easy to incorporate into anything really, and really quick. The do have a slightly different texture to pasta and not alot of flavour on their own but they do a good job of filling you up. I have tried a few different ones from asian...

Hi, I have just realised that I posted this question on the wrong board before. anyway, I'm on a 1200cal diet...so far so good as I am pretty much losing 2-3lbs a week. But I'm getting cravings for pasta and rice but never seem to have enough calories left at the end of the day to be able to...

ahh thanks possum...I shall try that then

are rice noodles nearly calorie free too? I love rice noodles and you can buy them in stores so would be great if they were??? zero noodles are awsome but a bit costly having to pay delivery all the time. augh!

you can now get them from Zero Noodles. x

pulses are also very high in fiber...like lentils and chickpeas and beans. Also you can buy packs of high fibre bran/seed mixes that you can sprinkle on your cereal to increase the fibre content...maybe hit the health food store. Also you can take a supplement of slippery elm which you have as...

haha me too! i used to be obsessed by fb but i suddenly realised yesterday that i hadn't checked it once....as i had been on here every 10 mins at work. love this site!

Not bad for 10 calories hay! I'm so addicted! Maybe I will just do a shirataki noodle diet instead Heehee

what is the spaghetti made from... is it lower calorie?

hi everyone, just wanted to let your know, I started a low calorie (1200) diet, low GI and have just weighed myself today...im so happy i have lost 5lbs! thats a lb a day! is that normal to lose that quickly??? even if its not I'm still happy. I think it will probebly slow down soon though as...

wow you look amazing! what an inspiration... well done you!

Thanks for the recipe idea dizziedee, i will give that a go as it sounds lovely! I actually cant believe that i have never hear of them, apparently they caught onto them in the US a long time ago now. Thats weird that yours have a foul fishy smell...do they taste of fish?, the ones i have dont...

haha i did that exact same thing today...drove all the way to my local asian supermarket to see if they stocked them but they had no idea what i was talking about..as if they had never heard of them, oh well, guess i will have to keep paying for postage and packaging. Have you tried the zero...

haha isn't it funny how these things happen, i was just telling off a very rude piece of cake for doing this exact same thing! I tried to tell this story (of the missing cake) to my boyf but for some reason he just didn't believe me :-0

ahhh i know party rings...wow that is low calorie! although the trouble with things that yummy is that its so hard to stop once you start...maybe i will get my partner to lock them in the safe and only allow my a few a week. ha thanks for the welcome Irene!

hi wildtrapeze, thanks so much for the tip about the courgette, i sounds lovely....do you just boil it after it has been left for 24hrs??? i will try that one for sure! The Zero Noodles are shirataki noodles, im guessing they are the english version, think i will be haveing them with every...

yes i ordered them from zeronoodles.com but aparently you can get them in some asian supermarkets but they are in chinese though. im going to keep my eye out for them. let me know what you think of them? They must be new as i had never heard of them until now. enjoy!

you too, enjoy your curry! p.s...no idea what party rings are???

ohh yummy, i love indian take away, maybe just skip the bread and rice and have a side salad with your curry..oh and steer clear of the korma!!! of course the best is always the worst for your waist lone! enjoy!! and thanks for checking the cals burnt for me! xx

I think it will be heavier once boiled as it will absorb some of the water. I guess you would need to just weigh it after it has been boiled. Let us know the verdict! x

so, not sure if anyone is interested, but I recieved my zero noodles today and made a lunch stirfry with them using chicken breast, veg and spicy soy honey sauce. They were actually really yummy! they are a slightly different texture to normal noodles and dont have alot of taste but when mixed...

Hi lou, I know what you mean about feeling like you have lost real weight rather then just water weight, which seems to happen with alot of quick fix extreme diets. Well done for being so restrained on your birthday...not sure i could control myself so well if i had a birthday cake in front of...

I always do this, i tend to make huge vats of chicken and veg stew and then freeze small portions to take to work to defrost in the microwave and ten have it with bread...lovely! i also do it with curry and chilli and put a bit of brown rice in with it.

Hi Emma, i have a pair of these that i have been wearing for walking, i must admit im a bit dissapointed with them. Although the idea makes sense and they feel awkward to walk in (so surely they must do something!) after an hour walk i cannot feel anything...no muscles aches to make me think...

Hi lou, I totally agree with your way of thinking, Just monitoring your calories means that you can learn to be healthy for yourself and maintain this new way of eating forever. I guess its just another way of learning to not be too geedy! I guess calorie counting is quite time consuming to...

Hi eye6769, i just wanted to let you know that I tried you mashed cauliflower idea last night with some korn sausages and onion gravy, it was great! i mixed it with lots of pepper and low fat butter and it tastes amazing! thanks so much for the tip. Although it left me a bit gassy..haha! not...

Hi what's in the ingredients list? If they are made of protein isolate or something similar you could just be a bit sensitive to it...as a lot of ppl are or maybe they have sweeteners in (probebly) which cause stomach upset in heavy amount...my guess would b that!

Hi there I have just ordered some from zero noodles.com... should b here tomorrow . can't wait. I read on another forum that u might b able to get them from Asian supermarkets too... although the ones I have ordered are a UK brand I think. Hope they are the same

What a great idea..that actually sound quite nice. Thanks I will give it a try tonight. Think I am also going to try shirataki noodles as a low Cal filler

Hi, thanks I just read that too. So they have no fat, no sugar, no carbs and only 10 cals per pack. Also they are high fibre and low gi.....surely they must be a catch! Think u just add a sauce like you would pasta. I'm defo gonna order some today as they would be perfect as a filler and I love...

actually i think they are called shirataki noodles in the UK. i will look them up and let you know x

Hi everyone! i was doing a little research last night as i am struggling to find something filling and low cal to replace my pasta/rice/potato in the evenings. I came across something called Konjac noodles...has anyone had these? they sound way to good to be true...why have i not heard of...

thanks lindsay, that sounds interesting haha. maybe i will give that a go....have you tried it? maybe there is a lower calories corn pasta or something in a health food store, i will have to have a look around

hi, thanks, I think i must have thought SW was something else but if its just a plan without having to buy lots of products then it sounds great, It defiantly seems to have a good reputation on here. Maybe i will try 2 weeks on 1200 cals then 2 weeks on SW and see which one works best for me...

Hi everyone, I have just started a 1200 calorie, low GI diet and am struggling for ideas of what to do instead of my usually pasta or rice meal in the evenings...its just not satisfying without :sigh: Do you all manage to stick to just meat and veg in the evenings or maybe you are all better...

Hi there, I love this stuff! get through quite alot so maybe i can help...but what do you mean by syns???

Lorna, do you find Slimming world expensive? how much does it cost per day...if you dont mind me asking?? x

hay, thanks for all of your support and ideas. So after much research i have decided that i dont want to do any set diet brand that costs money and so have opted for a 1200 calorie, low GI, high fibre diet. Im also going to try and have my dinner by 6pm then NOTHING after that (evening...

thanks so much for your comments, im not sure i could do a meal replacement diet... i like food too much. I kind want best of both worlds really, quick weight loss for my holiday but to still be eating healthily and be able to carry on eating well from there. I thought with a low calorie diet i...

sorry I misread that...silly me. I will defo look it up then if your never hungry. thanks

Thanks Larry, I will look it up. what is this diet based on. If you are very hungry would you reccommend it? not sure i can handle being hungry all the time:cry:

Hi there, I have just joined today (my first forum ever!) and thought this was a good place to start... I want to lose 2 stone by August for holiday with friends and am in need of some inspiration about how to do it. I haven't really done a diet before so dont really know which is best for...
