What’s your favorite comfort food?

If you survey 10 people and ask them what’s their favorite food to eat after a long, frustrating day of work, you’ll get a sizable majority voting for spaghetti.

Spaghetti, like other comfort foods such as pizza or doughnuts, elicits a serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter chemical released in the brain that elevates our mood after we eat something satisfying.

Whether we have it with a homemade marinara sauce or a garlic-olive oil blend, spaghetti is indeed fun to eat and often brings the family closer together.

But how do you feel after eating spaghetti? If you’re like most people, you don’t limit yourself to the portion size that nutritionists recommend, say, a fist-sized serving of spaghetti. A fist size? You gotta be kidding! Who has that kind of will power?

Most people are hard-pressed to limit their spaghetti serving size to two big handfulls.

Second- or third helpings are common.

As a consequence, how do most people feel after eating regular spaghetti?

--bloated

--tired

--mentally foggy

--fat

--not sexy

So what to do if you love spaghetti?

Great news! As of March, 2014, Miracle Noodle introduces Organic Shirataki Spaghetti!

Now you can cook your favorite spaghetti dishes without the guilt.

Here are some guidelines to cook a quick, healthy spaghetti meal using Miracle Noodle Organic Spaghetti.

--use low-sugar sauces

--dry roast the spaghetti

--add fresh whole basil leaves; add them in during the last minute or two of cooking

--add broccoli as it contains lots of antioxidants, has a huge crunch factor and fiber to help you feel full

--add pine nuts for extra protein

--add pink Himalayan sea salt, a healthier version of salt than white (processed table salt)

--add kelp flakes (available at natural markets) which is an excellent source of iodine

The possibilities are endless. Drizzle with a healthy oil like olive or avocado. Also optional is to add a tablespoon of coconut oil for a rich flavor. These oils are healthy fats and will also help you feel full and prevent cravings, unlike regular pasta.

Are you excited to try Organic Spaghetti?

Whether or not you're new to Miracle Noodles or have been cooking with them for quite a while now, we want to make sure you're preparing the noodles in the healthiest and tastiest way possible.

So to explain the very quick process, we made a video for you.

Most people know the first, important step of preparing Miracle Noodles, which is cutting the bag of noodles open--use scissors; don’t strain trying to rip it open with your hands!--and rinsing them in a strainer to neutralize the natural aroma.

The next step is also very easy and widely practiced: lightly boil the noodles for one minute.

But the third step is most crucial for getting the noodles to best soak up the flavors of the sauce. Are you preparing Miracle Noodles this way?  Watch the video now to find out how. Hint: if you hear the noodles squeaking, it’s a good thing! But don’t worry, the noodles aren’t being harmed; they like to squeal!

You'll enjoy your Miracle Noodle experience so much more by using this simple cooking technique explained in the video!

When you hear the word ‘Paleo,’ do you imagine a meat-headed, muscle-bound bodybuilder devouring turkey legs that more resemble baseball bats than drum sticks?

Does Paleo make you think of a carnivore’s delight, a wild game banquet that would make Henry VIII blush with envy?

Lots of people equate the Paleo Diet (short for ‘paleolithic’) with liberal meat consumption. While it might be true that some Paleo dieters do in fact eat an amount of meat that would earn the scorn of vegan PETA card-carrying members, Paleo dieters are at least conscious of the meat they consume.

True Paleo dieters avoid meat that has been raised in inhumane conditions, such as large-scale agricultural confined feedlots. Paleo dieters are aware that excess Omega-6 essential fatty acid consumption (and not enough Omega-3’s) leads to inflammation. Factory-farmed grain-fed meat, in addition to its detrimental effects on the environment and animal welfare, is high in Omega-6’s.

Many Paleo dieters engage in highly-demanding endurance physical activities, such as Boot Camp-type workouts. Consciously-raised meats and wild game help repair and rebuild microscopic muscle tears that occur as a result of stressful workouts.

But the true purpose of the Paleo Diet isn’t strictly to sculpt a “shredded” physique, where each muscle belly’s striations (the sculpted aesthetic of muscle tissue, e.g. “six-pack abs”) resemble ancient Greek statues of Olympic athletes.

The primary purpose of the Paleo Diet is to eat a low-glycemic (low-sugar) diet in order to avoid inflammation.

High-sugar and high-starch foods rapidly convert into sugar and thereby produce inflammation. The cells can only absorb so much sugar before becoming inflamed. The hormone that controls blood sugar levels so we don't pass out--insulin--pounds on cell walls doors’, demanding to dump off blood sugar into the cells, like a parent who can’t wait to drop off their kids at soccer practice so they can get back to watching TV on the couch.

Perhaps not a perfect physiological analogy but the point is inflammation manifests as bad things besides bloating: joint pain, sinus infections, asthma, weight gain, and even cancer, among other chronic conditions.

Some people believe that the archetype Paleo menu is too strict in its absolute avoidance of grains; low-starch grains consumed in moderation contain abundant and essential phytonutrients.

Strict Paleo dieters counter that adequate consumption of phytonutrients and the benefits derived from them may be obtained through eating copious amounts of vegetables.

Whether or not you choose to ‘abstain from grains’ (a clever domain name for a Paleo website, no?), the ultimate purpose of Paleo is to eat an anti-inflammatory diet. This would include a Mediterranean-style diet rich in monounsaturated oils (especially from olives) and vegetables (but minus the couscous). 

It would also include other healthy fats such as coconut oil and avocados and nuts. (Modern dairy and non-soaked legumes are mostly shunned because they may cause inflammatory conditions in certain people.)

Eating mostly low-starch vegetables, with a little grass-fed or wild fish and meats and healthy fats will reduce the risk of inflammation.

You’re eating what you think are healthy foods: salads, fruit and juice smoothies, raw vegetables, fruits and yogurt. But during periods of cold weather, these foods may not be the best to eat for staying warm in winter.

If you’re new to Miracle Noodle, chances are you’ll cook a basic veggie stir-fry with perhaps a lean protein for your first Miracle Noodle meal.

Though you can get infinitely creative with Miracle Noodle recipes (download for free our cookbook here; normally sold for $29.99), there’s nothing wrong with making a simple Miracle Noodle stir fry. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best meals you can eat to keep you warm in winter.

You can also replace potatoes or noodles with Miracle Noodle and Miracle Rice to use in stews. Certain spices like ginger and garlic help to warm up the blood, as well as boost immunity.

If you’re a meat eater, perhaps you think chicken and turkey is healthier than red meat. In traditional chinese medicine theory, white meats like chicken and turkey have a cooling effect on blood circulation whereas red meat like lamb and beef are warming.

Not all meats are created equal. The healthiest red meats come from small farms that produce grass-fed, pasture-raised animals. Pasture-raised organic, grass-fed meat is not only warming for the body, at least according to Chinese medicinal philosophy, it is much richer in Omega-3 essentially fatty acids than grain-fed, factory-farmed meat.

(Miracle Noodle recommends KOL Foods for the healthiest red meat.)

For breakfast, try toasting and/or baking healthy bread such as real, old-world style dark rye or pumpernickel bread. Spread with butter or almond butter. Whole, organic scrambled eggs are also nutritious and warming for the body. Don’t be afraid to eat the yolk as most of the vitamins and minerals are contained within.

Although the foods mentioned at the very beginning--salads, raw veggies, fruits, yogurt, smoothies--are generally regarded as healthy, they are not warming for the body.

Think about how a salad is made, typically prepared within minutes after removing cold produce from the fridge. Same goes for fruit and raw veggies and yogurt. If you’re going to eat any of these foods on a frigid winter’s day, remove them from the fridge for at least a couple hours before eating. Unless you are storing these foods in a sauna, during the winter, they will not easily spoil if left out on the kitchen counter.

An obvious food to warm the body is soup. If you’re going to eat lentil soup or some variety that calls for beans, to prevent gas and bloating, use beans that have been soaked in room temperature water for 12 hours.

Are you somebody who enjoys being lectured at? Do you particularly like constantly being told what to do? Probably not. It’s no wonder, then, why many people fail to adopt a long-term healthy eating plan.

“Don’t eat this. Don’t eat that. This food has too much fat. This has too much sugar. This has too much sodium. Avoid nitrites, nitrates and gluten...and....”

By this point, it’s enough to make most people’s head spin, resulting in the conclusion that it’s too difficult to eat healthy.

Life’s too short to count calories and subsist on seeds and sprouts, if that’s what it takes to be healthy. (It’s not, but many people who have tried dieting come to this conclusion.)

In order to lose weight, control your blood sugar and enjoy steady energy throughout the day, it is necessary to fine-tune your nutrition habits somewhat. The best way to do this is not by going on a radical or trendy juice fast or cleanse. Nor is it necessary to go on any other sort of diet. No, the best way to eat healthy is to turn unhealthy meals into scrumptious, guilt-free dishes.

Let’s take one of the most decadent pasta dishes: mac and cheese.

One serving size of a leading brand’s version of mac and cheese contains the following:

• 260 calories per cup...but who eats only one cup? Double the calories at least....

• 48 grams of carbohydrates

• 7 grams of sugar

• 1 gram of fiber

• 600 mg of sodium (25% of the maximum daily advised intake)

• 10 grams of protein

What are the unhealthy components of the mac and cheese? The sugar and high carbohydrate count will cause a release of insulin and if your cells are already filled to capacity with sugar, the excess sugar that can’t get in the cells will be stored as body fat.

The high sodium can be problematic for those who have high blood pressure and don’t exercise enough to sweat out the excess sodium.

The miniscule amount of fiber won’t prevent the quick digestion of the pasta, thereby converting the carbohydrates into sugar. The protein from the cheese may slow down the conversion into sugar somewhat but the expansion of the belly or love-handles is very likely with the high sugar and carbohydrate intake.

So how can you transform decadent mac and cheese into decadent healthy mac and cheese?

Miracle Noodle makes unhealthy dishes healthy. One of Miracle Noodle’s newest products, Miracle Noodle Ziti, has only 5 calories but soaks up any sauce or flavoring, so cooking baked ziti or mac and cheese tastes like the real thing but without the carbs, blood sugar spiking risk, excess sodium and high calorie count.

Miracle Noodle Ziti, in addition to looking just like real Italian ziti, has two healthy nutrients: fiber and beta carotene.

If your favorite part of mac and cheese is the cheese, take comfort in this comfort food, by knowing that you can enjoy eating more cheese because of the extremely low calorie count in Miracle Noodle Ziti.

Don't kill your mac and cheese with cheese that isn't cheese

To make your decadent mac and cheese even healthier but without sacrificing taste, add organic or even raw cheese to the Miracle Noodle Ziti. Organic cheeses and European varieties do not contain hormones or antibiotics that some conventional cheeses are laden with. And many people believe that organic cheese tastes far superior to cheeses that, in essence, are non-food foods, such as squeezable cheeses from a bottle.

If you want to make your decadent mac and cheese the healthiest version, try to buy raw cheese. Heard of probiotics, those billions of microscopic organisms in your gut that keep your immune system strong? Raw cheese contains probiotics. And for some people who have difficulty digesting dairy, raw cheese is easier to digest. In the U.S., states vary on their laws governing the sale of raw dairy. (Here’s a website to see what the law is in your state.)

Now Mac and Cheese is Healthy ... and so are lots of other decadent dishes!

Dozens of your favorite, decadent dishes can be transformed into healthy, equally decadent meals. You can easily replace pasta and rice recipes with low-carb and low-calorie Miracle Noodle and Miracle Rice.

Mom was right when you were a child and implored you to eat your vegetables, but the blanket, one-size-fits-all recommendation to eat your veggies needs to be taken with a grain of salt as some vegetables are high in starches and thus convert into sugar rapidly, potentially leading to a bigger belly.

In fact, some starches get digested so quickly that they raise your blood sugar levels higher than white table sugar.

And sorry, ketchup, even though the U.S. Congress deemed it one, is not a vegetable. (Never mind the fact that unless you’re a ketchup junkie, there are tastier sauces to cook with Miracle Noodle; stay tuned for an upcoming blog: what are the healthiest--and tastiest--sauces to cook Miracle Noodle with.)

Before divulging which starches cause bulging and the others that can promote weight loss, let’s define what a starch is. Quite simply, starches are molecular chains of simple sugars. They are odorless, white carbohydrate (energy) storehouses that are found in plant matter.

Though baked goods like bread, pastries, and the like are not considered vegetables they do contain flour, which is a starch, and because all vegetables are derived from plants, veggies also are starches. All carbohydrates--veggies are carbs and so,too, are breads and other baked goods, regular noodles, and fruits--so it’s critical to understand that not all starches are created equally.

The refinement of processed foods causes the structure of the starch to be broken down quite rapidly, often burned up well before they reach the large intestine. These kinds of starches raise blood sugar levels and should be avoided by anyone who wants to control their weight or improve their diabetes.

Vegetables that have gotten a bad rap, but are safe to eat in moderation

Some vegetables are relatively high in sugar but because they have a significant amount of fiber, the conversion of the starch into sugar is much slower than, say, mashed potatoes.

Carrots are probably at the top of the list. Vilified by extreme dieters (bodybuilders, models and other carb-o-phobes), carrots are jam packed with beta carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A. Try cutting tiny dime-shaped pieces of carrots and lightly cooking them with Miracle Noodle. They provide a savory juxtaposition of crunchy with soft, silky Miracle Noodle.

Beets are also a no-no according to some diet ‘gurus,’ again for their relatively high sugar content. But it’s not like beets have the same amount of sugar as a Big Gulp. A moderate portion of beets (tasty in a salad or sauteed in a Miracle Noodle stirfry) can help cleanse the liver.

The best of the best vegetables to cook with

Nutritionists recommend eating a variety of colors in the vegetable rainbow, such as red peppers, black/purple eggplant, orange raw carrots, etc….But in general, the healthiest vegetables are green. Think: spinach, broccoli, kale, chard, and green onions, collard greens, green beans, edamame, asparagus and zucchini.

These vegetables, as long as they are not overcooked in your Miracle Noodle favorite dish (click here for a free download of the Miracle Noodle 82-page Recipe Book) contain the most powerful phyto- (plant) nutrients in the vegetable kingdom.

Steaming green vegetables or lightly sautéing them is the healthiest thing to add to a Miracle Noodle dish along with a lean protein.

Pizza, pasta, pancakes, potatoes, and pastries … these five popular ‘p’ foods supply the common western diet with a bulk of its daily caloric intake.

The problem with these five foods and many others in the Standard American Diet (SAD; an appropriate acronym), isn’t only the superfluous saddlebag and love-handle bloating calories. The two primary ingredients--sugar and wheat--in these SAD foods can contribute to an array of chronic diseases.

The main source of carbohydrates in the ‘p’ foods is wheat. Modern wheat processing strips much of the grain’s nutritional value. Because of this, by the time wheat enters the small intestine, about halfway through the digestive process, it has been rapidly digested and turned into sugar; ancient wheat and other grains digest more slowly providing longer-lasting energy and less a release of insulin.

Habitually eating processed wheat, which rapidly turns into sugar, and eating other foods that are digested even more rapidly as simple sugars, over time, can lead to weight gain because the body’s cells can only store so much sugar; excess gets stored as body fat.

The booming rates of allergies, asthma and other medical disorders, could, at least in part, be attributable to the over consumption of processed wheat (read: Trying to go Gluten Free? Good Luck).

But the ‘p’ foods and other SAD foods can be transformed from calorie-laden, potential allergy-inducing, belly-bloating foods  into lean, tasty, healthy options simply by swapping only a few ingredients.

For some of the following, we’ll use a recipe from Blogilates.com, a website dedicated to practical, easy-to-follow nutrition and fitness tips.

Healthy Pizza

The primary chronic-disease inducing ingredient in pizza is the white flour dough, which has been beaten to a pulp and lots any nutritional benefit. You can make your own flatbread pizza by replacing white flour crusts with 100% whole wheat flour, which is healthier than white flour, but for those that are trying to reduce widespread inflammation in the body, there are other crusts that are healthier.

One recipe from Blogilates calls for a cauliflower crust. Yes, cauliflower. The Miracle Noodle team was skeptical at first but judging by the feedback received, it seems that the cauliflower-crust pizza is a hit.

Other healthy crust alternatives includes a quinoa crust and even a wild rice pizza crust. To cut out even more calories, get wild--and crazy--by experimenting with Miracle Rice.

If you’re a meat lover, ditch the heavily processed pepperoni and instead use pasture-raised, grass-fed beef for meatballs or nitrite- and nitrate-free pork for pepperoni.

Also eschew the gooey, over-cooked cheese found on most regular pizza and instead use an olive oil and garlic base. If you love cheese on your pizza try buying raw cheese or unpasteurized but lightly cook the cheese or add it towards the end of the cooking process.

Healthy Pancakes

Most pancakes, a short time after being consumed, feel like bricks sitting in your stomach for a while. Then, shortly after, somehow after feeling stuffed, you feel hungry again, even though you just ate a stack of flapjacks within the last two hours. That’s because the pancake batter is quickly converted into sugar. It’s like pouring the wrong type of fuel in your car.

To make pancakes healthier and even easier to cook, try this amazingly simple recipe from Blogilates.com, run by the super talented Cassey Ho. Ho’s pancakes calls for only two ingredients: a banana and two eggs. Simply mix the ripe banana and eggs in a bowl and make sure the banana is completely mashed. Then spray your pan with some extra virgin olive oil PAM, or coconut oil on low to medium heat, scoop some of the banana-egg batter, give it about 20-30 seconds, flip, and done!

This is probably the easiest and most all-natural pancake recipe you’ll encounter. Thanks, Cassey, for sharing with the Miracle Noodle Team!

And instead of topping your cakes with regular syrup, a serving of which contains over 50 grams of carbohydrates--simple sugars--add a dab of butter to slow down the rise in blood sugar, and also agave syrup. Agave, though it does have an effect on blood sugar, is slower than regular table sugar. Yacon syrup is even healthier for those who really have to watch their blood sugar levels. Top of your cakes with a handful of organic berries.

Healthy Potatoes

White potatoes are among the highest foods on the glycemic index, meaning that their carbohydrates convert rapidly into sugars. If you’re trying to improve diabetes and lower blood sugar levels, it might be good to ditch potatoes all together. The term ‘healthy potato’ for those with high blood sugar should be considered an oxymoron.

However, if you must have your spud and eat it, too, try consuming smaller potatoes as they will contain more minerals and less starch. Most of the minerals are in the skin of the potato so make sure you are eating the skin of a small or mid-size at most potato.

Colored potatoes have more carotenoids than white potatoes. Carotenoids are substances that give color to a vegetable. But more important than the attractive color, aka pigment, of a sweet potato or other varieties of colored potatoes is the cancer-fighting properties of the carotenoids.

When eating a potato, limit the rise in blood sugar by adding some natural fat to the spud. Also eat some lean protein on the side.

Healthy Pastries

Perhaps another dietary oxymoron, healthy pastries, or more accurately, healthier pastries, are cooked using, similar to healthy pancakes, flours that are much lower on the glycemic index. Again, almond flour and coconut flour are two popular healthier options.

The joys of the human experience include dessert. Abstaining from cakes, cookies and other pastries makes dietary sense if you’re trying to lose weight, but for many, it’s a short-lived experiment. Opt, instead for allowing yourself a couple of small servings of dessert per week.

You can even bake chocolate chip cookies using Miracle Rice! Read this blog for more dessert ideas using Miracle Noodle.

Healthy Pasta

If you’re familiar with Miracle Noodle, you know how easy it is to slash hundreds of calories from your diet every week. Shaped from the root of a variety of Japanese yam, Miracle Noodle contains zero net carbs and zero net calories. The Internet is packed with recipes using Miracle Noodle. You can also download for free the Miracle Noodle Recipe Book, an 82-page easy-to-follow cornucopia of healthy pasta ideas.

How great it is to be able to eat noodles every day without raising your blood sugar levels and packing on the pounds.

If you grew up eating commercially-popular breakfast cereals with clever and cute highly-marketable mascots, chances are you ingested butylated hydroxytoluene. Better known as BHT, it’s a synthetic antioxidant designed to slow the spoilage of fats and oils.

While eating a diet rich in antioxidants is critical to good health, avoiding synthetic ingredients is equally important, even if the synthetic material is an antioxidant. Foods are meant to spoil; eating foods with synthetic additives are usually harmful.  In the case of BHT, several studies have concluded that it is carcinogenic.

Dieticians, nutritionists, personal trainers, and health coaches preach the cardinal rule of healthy eating: if you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.

While this is usually good advice to follow, it might be a bit too simplistic. Could it be that some foods contain additives that are beneficial to health?

Food additives to avoid

Maybe a better rule to follow would be that a certain food should at most have a handful of ingredients. Chances are high that a packaged food that has a long list of ingredients contains potentially-harmful preservatives and additives. Some of the more ubiquitous additives to avoid include:

• --MSG (monosodium glutamate)

• --High fructose corn syrup

• --Partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated oils or shortening

• --Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate

• --Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners

• --Benzoates such as sodium benzoate

• --Food colorings such as Red 40

Food additives to fear not

Vitamin D, better known as the sunshine vitamin, acts more like a hormone than a vitamin. We have vitamin D receptor cells throughout our body. In order for our cells to utilize the active form of D, we need to expose our bodies to direct sunlight and ideally eat foods that naturally contain D. 

There are two problems with getting enough D. First, even if you get plenty of sunshine by going for walks everyday, if you live in an area that receives relatively weak ultraviolet sunlight in the winter, your blood levels of D will likely fall in the cold months. In the U.S., if you live north of the 37th parallel--running from roughly Santa Cruz, CA to the Four Corners region through Kentucky and Newport News, Virginia--you’d be wise to eat foods rich in Vitamin D, which brings us to the second problem….

There are relatively few foods that are naturally rich in D (cold water fish such as salmon, shiitake mushrooms and egg yolks are the main natural sources) and even if you consume them regularly and in large quantities, you still may have low levels of D in your blood (get a blood test from your doctor to have your level tested) if you live north of the 37th.

In addition to being known as the sunshine vitamin, D is also known as the mood vitamin. Having adequate levels (consensus recommendations call for serum levels around 60) can ward off depression.  

Foods that contain Vitamin D additives, therefore, can be beneficial for your health.

Vitamin D also helps transport calcium throughout the body.

Speaking of calcium, your favorite noodle substitute contains it

Zero-calorie and zero-carbohydrate Miracle Noodle products contain calcium hydroxide. And though ‘hydroxide’ isn't all that difficult to pronounce, thus not going against the golden rule of nutrition, if you can't pronounce it don't eat it, some may question whether calcium hydroxide is safe.

If “limewater” sounds safe to you, that’s essentially what calcium hydroxide is. Miracle Noodle is 97% water and 3% fiber with a trace amount of calcium hydroxide to firm up Miracle Noodle. Food-grade calcium hydroxide is safe for human consumption and been used in traditional cultures for hundreds of years.  In Mexico, it was traditionally used to soak corn to make it more digestible.   It provides texture to Miracle Noodle so that you can eat as much as you want without the calories or heavy bloat that’s associated with regular noodles.

Vitamin E and C additives

Alpha- beta- delta- or gamma-tocopherol might be difficult to pronounce but it’s more commonly known as Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, playing a vital part in the health of our immune system, helping protect red blood cells. Beware of processed foods with tocopherols, though, as the vitamin E may be rancid.

Vitamin C is perhaps the most well-known antioxidant, abundant naturally in citrus fruits. Citric acid is sometimes added to certain foods. Though it’s much better to eat natural foods, citric acid is far safer and beneficial for your health than the dangerous additives mentioned earlier.

Dozens of additives in organic food

Though it’s best to eat organic food as much as possible, even organic food may contain additives. In fact, the European Union, which is generally regarded as more stringent than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s guidelines, allows almost four dozen additives in organic foods.

While that may sound like a lot, consider that there are thousands allowed in conventional foods. So don’t panic, even if it’s organic. Use common sense. If there are only a few ingredients at most in a packaged food, it’s probably healthy; if there is a paragraph-long list of ingredients, avoid it as if it were a bottle of poison.

Most Miracle Noodle products contain four ingredients: water, a Japanese flour called ‘konnyaku’, calcium hydroxide and beta carotene, another healthy additive, which is a precursor to Vitamin A, essential for healthy skin and immune system.
