Sanity Foods

[Riccardo]

Got this idea from Soundsgood's journal where I thought it would be an idea to compile a list of people foods that keep them sane while dieting. The criteria is something satisfying/fills you up while not being a cheat meal i.e. must be low in calories. One of the Dolans found some sweet chilli sauce that was 0 Carbs as well by memory? If someone could post that up it would be cool. Here's a few to get the ball rolling:

Shiritaki Noodles

- Next to no calories

- Next to no carbs

Mountain bread

- Very low calories, I think 80-70 per wrap.

Weight watchers Jelly

-Next to zero calories

Almost zero calories.tastes better than most sweet chili sauces.

Mean! Thats the one I was looking for!

Great thread. Will be taking notes and buying up!

great thread idea.

my standard filler meal lol is :

weight watchers jelly

+ gelitine (baking section of supermarket)

+thriftee (cordial section)

= very low cal jelly (only cals from protein, and not that much)

play around with the mixture, i usually use 1 pack weight watchers jelly, 1 or 2 tbsp gelitine, water as per instructions, splash of thriftee for taste

you can do it with a few packs of the weight watchers jellys but they're like 2$ each, way cheaper using gelitine.

Where do you buy Sirataki Noodles? and the chilli sauce?

This sounds awesome will definitely be giving it a go!

Just got back from New Save couldn't find any :twisted: nor at Countdown!

[jimmybro1]

And I can't follow anything on that site all in Japanese

[Riccardo]

Just click on the contact us button and email them asking where to get it. I've found them in the international food isle, asian supermarkets, fruit and vege stores with asian owners etc etc.

Or here they are for $4 a pack http://www.edibleplanet.co.nz/shirataki ... odles.html

[jimmybro1]

Thanks, I will talk to my Asian neighbors they will know.

Can be a mission to find things in Supermarkets! Would go well with Salsa I think. Will definitely be a good asset being 4 weeks out now!

i've never smoked bar the odd one when pissed a long time ago. you use them to supress appetite yeah?

as far as i can remember it was pretty yuck to chew the gum? any special type you use?

If you're looking for shirataki noodles in Auckland, the Lim Chhour supermarket on K'road has them

personally I found them to be too slimy, smelly and flavourless

[Destamoon]

How many meals can you get out of a pack?

[Gym rat]

awesome idea for starting this thread.I wonder if any of the Asian shops in Dunedin carry those noodles might have to try them sometime.

tub of lite cottage cheese with a t-spoon of marmite/Vegemite mixed through.

[jimmybro1]

I found Shirataki Noodles! Got a packet of both Brown and White.

Was surprised when I got the packets fill of a fishy smelling liquid! Taste great though will some curry powder.

I use to eat alot of that weight watchers jelly but a little wary about all the artificial flavors, sweetens and dyes.

[vracula]

Shirataki needs to be washed throughly in warm water before use.Gets rid of the weird taste.Wish it was cheaper.

Which supermarkets stock this?

I've been to Countdown and PaknSave, they dont have it.

This!

Lite cottage cheese, stevia, sliced almonds, half scoop of vanilla protein powder. Mix well and consume. I've found this especially good at night.

Weight watchers jelly is also awesome - eat the whole bowl if you must. Can add protein powder before putting in fridge to set - turns kinda moussey.

Coke Zero - not a found, but can fill you up quite nicely.

"Cauliflower Rice" - grate cauliflower, saute in cooking spray with garlic & black pepper. Is good with anything 'saucy'.
