I tried the shirataki noodles tonight. They are not bad. Lots of room left for snacks this evening!

Huge green salad with red onion,tomato, arulga, mixed greens and topped with a grilled Beast Burger with pepper jack. Dessert was chia pudding. Good to go for the night.
Also added a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. The jury is stil out on that. Have you tried it?4 -
I made cabbage stir fry: onion, garlic, jalapeno, baby carrots, celery, mushrooms, and shredded cabbage, cooked in a little water, seasoning, and Bragg's liquid aminos. I cooked a chicken breast in the foreman grill with smokehouse maple seasoning, then cut it up over the veggies. Big bowl of yum!9

I'm planning on spaghetti squash with tons of broccoli and cauli and some onions with some grilled chicken and a little alfredo flavour - I wouldn't really call it sauce, I use a little fat free milk and some garlic and make just enough with a packet mix to get a good flavourful coating.7

Rinse and dry fry. It's a bit gelatinous4 -
Depends on my mood. Sometimes I want half a bag of gardein tenders covered in buffalo sauce. Other times I eat a huge tray of roasted veggies for dinner. I volume eat when I'm super hungry.
It definitely helps me to stay full longer and not snack.9 -

That is what I did. It was the first time having it. I was prepared for this horrible smell and gummy texture. I just didn't find it that bad. The smell did not overpower the kitchen - I had to stick my nose in the bag because I thought I was missing something! The texture was very similar to other asian noodles I have had.3 -

Yeah! Dry frying is key. It doesn't say to do so on the package but moisture is not their friend. After a rinse and a fry they are wonderful.
I use the macaroni ones to make mac and cheese with laughing cow wedges and some 80 calorie garlic and feta chicken sausages from Bilinskis. Huge bowl of mac for like 300 calories. I eat two bags of shirataki at once lol.10 -

Can you add the noodles to soup? I have tried them in a stir fry before but want to add them to my miso2 -

No regrets.13 -

I've not added the noodles to a soup, but I have added the riced version to homemade soups - tomato and rice, Italian wedding. They worked as intended - bulked up the soups for next to no calories. I expect the noodles would provide a similar result.

Ooh I am intrigued. Do you just chop and stir in the LC 'til it's melted? Any particular one you like best? I haven't seen the macaroni ones yet but I'll keep an eye open, this sounds great.4 -
You all have inspired me! Its like I finally understand myself now
I just found this, thought some of you might like the recipes/ideas.. https://www.eatingbirdfood.com/volume-eating-recipes/ 10 -
If more people ate a lot more vegetables like in this thread, there would be a lot more successful people reaching their weight goals...or most likely not needing to worry in the 1st place.
I know! I have so many friends who try to lose weight by cutting portions but don't add produce or sub lean protein for higher calorie ones. I'm like, dude, do you realize how many vegetables you could eat instead of 4 tbsp of sugary coffee creamer that doesn't fill you up at all? Or how much volume you could eat if you use a collard green wrap instead of 200 calories of bread? I'd never feel full if I ate like that!15 -

A whole pound?! I'm so jealous, I love berries of all kinds but too many and I can $h@ for England!!!7 -
Hey, so good to read these posts - that's how I eat too. Generally soup and salad (two kinds) lunch and dinner...get about 10 serves of veg a day :-)7
