These 4 PASTA Alternatives are Low Carb, Healthy and DELICIOUS - Thomas DeLauer
Spaghetti Squash
~40 calories per cup, 10g of carbs, 2g of soluble fiber
Spaghetti squash has a low glycemic index - compared to butternut squash, which has a relatively moderate GI of 51, spaghetti squash has a GI of less than 20
Study - Korean Journal of Food Science and Technology
Squash flavonoid extracts “significantly inhibited human cancer cell growth (by 60.6-87.9% in HCT116 colon cancer cells and by 73.4-86.4% in H1299 lung cancer cells at the concentrations of 37.5, 75, and 150 μg/mL)”
koreascience.or.kr/article/JAK...
This study also noted that squash contains gallic acid and quercetin
Zoodles (Zucchini Noodles)
30-40 calories per cup, 5 net g of carbs
- Magnesium & Potassium
- Pectin
- Choline
Natural Heaven
1 cup = 8g of carbs, 4g of fiber (50kcals)
Heart of palm is a white vegetable obtained from the center of specific varieties of palm trees
Heart of palm is a plentiful source of several minerals, including potassium, copper, phosphorus, and zinc
Chlorogenic Acid
A study published in The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry looking at the antioxidant composition of palm hearts found that they contain chlorogenic acid, which is typically found in coffee
Chlorogenic acid primarily exerts its effects by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates. By doing so, it reduces the uptake of carbohydrates and glucose during digestion
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
Shirataki Noodles
Shirataki noodles originated in Japan and are made from the Konjac root
Glucomannan & Ghrelin - Study
A study published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice found that supplementation with glucomannan can actually reduce levels of ghrelin
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
Bonus: Seaweed Noodles (Kelp Noodles)
Per serving (cup), they typically have 1g of carbs, 1 gram of fiber
Iodine
Kelp is considered a top source of iodine
Fucoidan
Kelp also contains an antioxidant called fucoidan, which is used to reduce inflammation caused by immune cells in the brain

Thanks! I will try the Palm Hearts now. I have been using fresh cabbage, knife shredded thin, very lightly cooked in a cast iron pan with light salt and avocado oil. I loved it under my fresh tomato/ fresh grated parmesan cheese/basil/olive oil (Pomodora Sauce). I cooked it till the cabbage was just soft, definitely before it could get brown.

Kelp noodles are AWESOME, soft and the most like actual pasta if you soak them in lemon juice and baking soda for 2 minutes prior to use. Just rinse off the juice/soda mixture and heat and serve with sauce of your choice! I'm 100% Italian and this is by far the closest in texture to real pasta. It's all in the prep! Comes out soft just like spaghetti.

I want to be very honest with you, I am doing keto now for 1 month, the results are amazing. I lost a lot of weight and inches etc. but to be honest my admiration for this life style changed completely. I hate keto, I hate it so much you cannot imagine and the reason why I didn't give up is because I have a lot of self discipline. I will continue to do it for 1 more month to lose the last kgs and then I will do a slow transition to "normal" eating and try to maintain my weight through it. I dream about the first bite I will have of a delicious big green apple... I really hate keto... Kudos to those who do it for so long like Thomas.

@breal6463 4 жыл бұрын

I'm 6 months in and I LOVE it. Down 60 lbs so far, from 250 to 190. I feel like fruits are just vegetables but with unnecessary sugar, and that sugar is such a slippery slope for me--a few bites of apples leads to more and more cravings. And I really enjoy the way my body feels, lighter and more energized, when I stay away from sugar completely. To each their own!

I’m 52 kilos one up one down lost over 18 kilos in a year could never follow keto I like grains to much . Saying that if a overdue one day or two I follow low carb day of Mediterranean keto . Saying that I don’t need to loose much more and my health is good , look in to his videos and you wil find the Mediterranean keto xx🇬🇧🙂

@@cristinaparmart817 yes I completely agree with you that Mediterranean eating lifestyle is so good. My parents are portuguese and I grew up with this kind of food and the reason why I hate keto is not necessary because you cannot eat carbs but it's more that you cannot eat all vegetables like carrots that I love or fruits and the fact that there is no room for a cheat meal once or twice a month makes me go nuts! I will transition to Mediterranean keto for sure xo 😊

Now that I have learnt that eating them reduces the hunger hormone level, I am definitely going to eat them more regularly. The important thing is to *drink a lot of water* when eating konjac.

Thanks Thomas. Very informative. I have been using shirotaki miracle noodles for about 2 years. I’ve actually gotten to enjoy these as much as regular pasta. They absorb the flavor of the sauce and you can each a lot without that “I ate too much” feeling. Works great with keto! With good sauce and tons of grated Parmesan cheese - not too much of a sacrifice. Now mash potatoes on the other hand... thanks again!

I don’t use a KitchenAid attachment...there’s the Inspiralizer and Paderno (?) spiralizers which work really great and are around $30-$40. It’s actually worth it if you eat them a lot bc the prepared noodles are around $8/package in my grocery store. My 2 y.o. Also really likes to watch the veggie turn into ribbons which is an added bonus.

But I do obviously forget when in presence of food... but the absorption factors scare me that it might do another blockage, but will see about some of the others. I hear a lot of buzz about keto, but seems like a high priced meal plan to me.

Have you tried the elbows from the great low carb bread co.? I found them on amazon I havent tried them yet but the ingredients are (in order on label) pea protein isolate, oat fiber, wheat fiber, egg whites, wheat gluten and semolina. I dont want to get kicked out of ketosis but I know I'm human and will maintain my lifestyle especially since I have lost almost 100lbs since last may following a lot of your advice. Thank you thomas for being an inspiration to me and helping me with your videos and saving my life. Have a great day

Hey man, I'm a diabetic.... and am still trying to figure things out. That was a great video, and I'm still trying to figure out which of these taste the best 🙂

To make kelp noodles softer and taste better all you need to do is put baking soda and vinegar on them for about 10 min until they’re soft and rinse and add something like pesto and it taste really good!

My grocery store sells crinkle cut butternut squash - it still doesn’t taste like pasta, but the bite of the thicker cut squash is way more satisfying than spaghetti squash to me.

Costco started carrying Shiratake in their refrigerated section and they are REALLY, REALLY GOOD! They have a different texture than other brands I’ve tried. Not as rubbery and more of a soft pasta like texture.

I have been doing calories in versus calories out most of my 68 years. It's how I have maintained my ideal weight. I am never hungry. I can eat pretty much what I want. However, I have learned that the foods that fill me up without increasing calories are what I end up eating for the most part. Coincidentally those foods are also whole, unrefined foods. Of all of your recommendations, I have enjoyed shirataki noodles and also slim rice more than the other three. I appreciate this video because it is very valuable information for people who want to reduce their calorie intake, have something tasty to eat, and still feel full. I have never worried much about macro-nutrients. To me it's just calories in versus calories out.

It is the betacryptoxanthan in the squash that is protective. It is also in high concentrations in red bell peepers.

Thomas, what do you think of the following noodles (not for keto, but low carb; also, they have the same variations of noodles but with lentils -- any preference for lentils vs. chickpeas?): 1) Banza -- ingredients: Chickpeas, Tapioca, Pea Protein, Xanthan Gum. Does the tapioca ruin this for you, or do you think it's fairly harmless with chickpeas being the dominant ingredient? 2) Barilla Chickpea Noodles -- ingredients: Chickpea Flour only. Is chickpea flour higher glycemic than regular chickpeas, or are these pretty good? Thanks for the help!

I like Spaghetti Squash with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and some dried Italian herbs on it. Not a huge fan of it as "a marinara transport agent"--it's OK, but I prefer Zoodles for that. Not all zoodle-makers are expensive. I got one that works like a cheap pencil sharpener--you just put the end of the zucchini (or carrot or whatever) into it and twist. The zoodles come out the side. No moving parts to break and under $20 on Amazon.

I love the miracle noodles. Yummy and easy to cook with any healthy recipes. But hellà expensive at 5 dollars a tiny pack. Worth it to cook a good pho soup with oxtails broth

Thomas I purchased a device called VeggettiPro for $20.00 and works awesome at making my Zoodles. It operates manually, but it’s quick and easy to use!! I bought it at Bed,Bath&Beyond!! I highly recommend it. Thought you would like to know!!

Hearts of Palms are recent in the US, but in South America we have eaten them for years, in Brazil they served them in the steakhouses because it helps digestion and reduce burping after a big meal… and I can certify that 😂😂

For those saying doodles are too watery I always cook mine in the microwave for 3 minutes to pull the water out of them. I then drain them, dry with paper towel and then add to my dish and add my cheese, marinara sauce or whatever.

Can you please make a video about what to consume to reduce the negative effect of carbs we have consumed? Like regular pasta, bread, a piece of pie or cake. (Before and/or after consuming the carbs in question ). I know talked about it. Jut just to sum it up. Please!
