I have found the holy grail of weight-loss meals!
The other night, I made this delicious bacon and mushroom pasta “alfredo” with no-calorie fettuccini noodles…
Trust me when I say I could eat this EVERY NIGHT.
- ONLY 152 CALORIES FOR AN ENTIRE BOWL
- A WEIGHT-LOSS MEAL WITH BACON!!! LIKE OMGAAAAASH
- YOU WILL FEEL FULL!
- ABSOLUTELY DE-LICIOUS!
Yes, the dish is made with no-calorie noodles and not real pasta…so if you’re new to the product it could still taste a tad foreign to you but do yourself a favour and give it a try! When I first discovered no-calorie noodles (while browsing the shelves of Dischem), I used them quite unimaginatively by having them with Bolognese sauce. Still, I loved the concept: having comforting pasta Bolognese without the carbs or calories that come with eating traditional pasta. The beauty is that these noodles actually fill you up! A lot!
No-calorie Noodles are made from Glucomannan: a sugar made from the root of the konjac plant, and is said to fascilitate weight loss and treat constipation, type 2 diabetes, cholesterol and balance blood sugar levels. As a weight loss supplement, it can be very useful because it absorbes water in the gut, reducing apetite and promoting satiety.
Fast-forward a few months, and I have engineered a host of delicious recipes with these babies! (Here is another great recipe!).
My bacon and mushroom pasta “alfredo” was SUCH a treat!
The secret is in the sauce…
Like regular pasta, no-calorie noodles have no flavour and pretty much conform to the flavour of whatever you add to it. So here you have the freedom of creating a really delicious sauce, because it can contain ALL the calories of the dish With this alfredo sauce in particular, I still kept things pretty conservative because I used milk instead of cream, and no oil…
