I'm 28, live in New York City and have been consuming copious amounts of Miracle Noodles ever since it was first recommended as a high-fiber healthy alternative to pasta.
As part of a newfound healthy lifestyle I became the early-rising, gym-going, marathoner and triathlete I always aspired to be. Eating Miracle Noodle enables me to experience fullness without the unpleasant and unhealthy bloating and after-effects so many other foods provide.
I will be a customer for life and am so glad I found a guilt-free way to a eat delicious, filling, and relatively low-cost food. Thanks to your awesome noodles I now enjoy all aspects of eating and am better able to compete in road races. While I'm smiling through the NYC Marathon and Triathlon it's partly due to feeling great because I ate great! Thank you Miracle Noodle!!*
My story began about three years ago when in August of 2011 I had a diving accident which left me paralyzed from the chest down. I was 18 when this happened, and loved pasta based dishes! When I returned home after therapy, I continued with my regular diet only to realize that if I kept up the amount of carbohydrates and calories that I was use to, I was going to become over weight due to lack of movement; a dangerous thing when you are in a wheelchair. So I stopped all noodles!
My family would enjoy the taste of my mother?'s famous spaghetti, while I ate a salad and enjoyed only the smell of one of my favorite dishes. This trend continued for over two and a half years until I ran across Miracle Noodles. I immediately began researching (something I do for all the food I eat). After a short time, I was sold, and ordered a variety of different Miracle Noodles to try them out.
I started out by adding them to Asian dished and loved them from the very first use! But the real seller for me was the night my mother fixed her famous spaghetti. I started to build my regular salad and was preparing, as always, to set and watch everyone els e? enjoy my favorite dish without me. Then I remembered, "Wait! I have Miracle Noodles!" I asked my mother to throw a plate together for me using these different noodles, and when I sat down to eat with the rest of the family I got several surprised looks when I didn't have a salad as my main course. After the family prayed over the meal, I, a bit nervous about how it would taste, began to dig in.
It was delicious! The noodles absorbed the flavor of the sauce better than any other noodle I had ever had! I was so excited to finally have found the key to enjoying my favorite dish again!
I left the table stuffed! But wasn't worried a bit about gaining that dangerous weight!
Thanks Miracle Noodle team!*
I discovered Miracle Noodles, after being diagnosed as having celiac disease, meaning I am highly gluten and wheat intolerant.
Before being diagnosed, my favorite food was, without a doubt, pasta, especially spaghetti. I felt so deprived and it wasn't till a friend of mine who had recently gone on a Paleo eating plan told me about Miracle Noodles.
I had tried other gluten free pastas and found them bland and tasteless. I was amazed how delicious Miracle Noodles were and how similar they were to the real thing.
Not only that, after eating, I had no bloating or sore stomach like I used to after eating normal pasta. I now make spaghetti and stir-frys for my family with Miracle Noodles and I no longer feel deprived, and know that I am giving my family healthy yummy food!
Thanks Miracle Noodle!*
Hi, my name is Ljubica, I am 11 years old and I have been eating Miracle Noodles for 3 years now. I live in the Yukon, which is in Northern Canada.
I have a type of epilepsy called Doose Syndrome and drugs didn't work to control my seizures. I could have 30 small seizures just while eating my breakfast! They were all day long and worse at night. It was a drag. This started when I was three and a half years old. The drugs we tried also really made me feel tired and sometimes mad for no particular reason.
My neurologist agreed to put me on the Ketogenic Diet when I was six years old. For 5 years now, my mom, with our dietician control every gram of food I eat. The diet is basically lots and lots of fat (and then maybe just some more fat) and just enough protein and a tiny amount of carbs each day.
I am only allowed to eat less than 15g of carbs per day. Each of my three meals has about 4 grams of carbohydrates. That means five years ago I stopped eating pasta, breads, cake, well, anything with sugar - so lots of things. The diet is super restrictive and complex.
I missed eating pasta when my family would make pasta meals. It was hard. They stopped eating pasta meals, too.
Three years ago, our dietician, MaryAnn emailed us information about Miracle Noodles. I love them. And, so do my two brothers, but they don't get to eat them, it is part of my special diet foods so they are off limits to them. I do sometimes let them have the noodles but it is nice to have something for me that is so special! I have a lot of neat, somewhat normal looking meals now thanks to Miracle Noodles. I have not had a seizure in about four and a half years. The diet truly sucks but the noodles really make it better.*
Yedidya, age 20, is diagnosed with Autism and Epilepsy - and has a slew of GI and immune issues. As a result, he has been on a restricted diet since he was small.
Over the years this diet has become more and more restricted - no gluten/ grains, no dairy, no soy, no sugar, very limited carbs altogether.
He loves pasta (who doesn't?!) but usually this has been a no-no for him. Since discovering your pasta, life has been so much happier for him!!
He creates all sorts of sauces ( he is a great chef) and keeps asking (in Hebrew) for those "American" noodles (we live in Israel).
He can't wait to receive them in the mail each time - they are his favorite meal. For a kid who can barely eat too much else - this is very significant.
We also did a ketogenic diet for awhile (for his seizures) and even though we are no longer doing it - we have maintained the noodles!
Thank you so much in Yedidya's name for the yummy "American" noodles!

My name is Jordan Or, and I currently live in Calgary, Alberta. I'm currently a 22 year old university volleyball athlete and I've been experiencing the positives which come with using Miracle Noodles in my diet.
I've always been conscious of the external factors which surround a high performance athlete's lifestyle, along with spending multiple hours a day training.
For the past year, I've taken a deep interest in my nutritional habits, noticing that in the past, I've used too many processed carbohydrates in my meals (etc. white pasta, processed noodles).
I didn't realize that the usage of these processed food products would hinder my athletic development in regards to recovery, and energy levels.
I decided to change my diet, and instead use cleaner sources of carbohydrates in smaller and more controlled amounts (quinoa, sweet potato).
However, I found this change extremely tough since I'd experience strong cravings for pasta and noodles for soups and stirfrys. Luckily, I came across Miracle Noodle, and immediately ordered a shipment to try out, and was impressed very quickly.
I was able to use it in multiple ways and dishes, and did a great job of supplementing my diet. Since then, I've been using Miracle Noodles, and they've become a staple in my kitchen.
With my older diet, I weighed in at around 172-175 lbs. After the diet change, with Miracle Noodles as a supplement, I'm weighing in at 156-160 lbs.
I feel as though my story here, is a great example of how Miracle Noodles can be a small and big contributor in diets for even athletes! *
As I approached my 69th birthday I realized that my once trim figure was no longer. I wasn’t obese but over the years I had slowly gained 40 pounds.
My goal was not to return to my wedding day Twiggy figure but I really needed to reduce. My knees were sore and my doctor told me that every pound on your body is like 3 pounds on your knees. So I began eating differently. I chose a Low Carb diet and foundMiracle Noodles and Rice.
I found a big pot of chicken Miracle Noodle soup and many chicken or beef dishes stewed with veggies over Miracle noodles or Rice were satisfying and delicious.
Instead of using bread crumbs for stuffing my turkey I used Miracle Rice. I have reached my goal weight, losing 30 pounds in total.
As I work at maintaining this new weight I know it will be possible by adapting my recipes to use Miracle noodles and rice and by keeping in touch with the Miracle Noodle blog for new ideas and recipes.
You can see in my “before” picture that I was happy but heavy!
You can see in my “after” picture that I am happy and slim enough to be photographed beside one of my three slim and beautiful daughter-in-laws. *
