These spaghetti or noodles are made from konjac flour, a root whose composition is fundamentally fiber, a fiber that also has the ability to absorb water, which is why it is very satiating.

You can prepare them however you want, but you must keep one thing in mind, they have no flavor, so you need to make a good sauce and add very tasty ingredients, with the spices that you like the most.

This recipe is spicy and super tasty, as well as easy and healthy, you can make many variations, instead of chicken, why not prawns, squid or cuttlefish? The combinations can be endless, use different types of vegetables, leek, carrot, broccoli, or prepare them in a more classic way, with a good Bolognese sauce and gratin with cheese. https://youtu.be/pMrmyu8JydE When we want to change habits, we inevitably go through a period of transition, this moment is not easy, it is usually a stage in which your brain continues to demand what it was used to, but now you are not giving it.

Konjac spaghetti will reduce your anxiety to eat pasta always.

 

That’s why it doesn’t hurt to look for options that allow us to make this transition more bearable and that can also remain in your new repertoire for the future.

The idea is not to always look for foods and recipes that replace the usual ones, the idea is rather to substitute some foods for others and create new habits, eliminating the previous ones.

This involves a process, it is never from today to tomorrow, you have to be motivated and want to.

When you reach that point where you don’t miss what you used to, these konjac spaghetti will become another option, but they will no longer be an obsession or a necessity.

You will enjoy other dishes as much as you did before pasta and you won’t miss it.

Those of us who entertain ourselves with History know that Crassus, Roman consul back in 55 BC. He messed up by invading Parthia without any justifiable reason, it backfired and he and his legionaries were killed. From then on, any major blunder was called Crassus Errare. And it is precisely this expression “crassus error” that comes to mind when I think about how, when it comes to changing eating habits, we show our inflexibility and we entrench ourselves in often senseless positions. I emphasize this point because it is crucial. When we seek to improve our eating habits, when we want to make changes, we should not insist on replacing everything we eat regularly (bread, pasta, rice, buns, etc.) with its “healthy” version. It is undoubtedly a “crassus error.” replace everything with its “healthy version”, you have to changeand habits.

 

The idea is to change habits, if I always had bread or cookies for breakfast, now I can have cheese and nuts for breakfast.

If I used to have very sweet desserts, I change them for red fruits or baked apple.

If I love pizza, I can start trying lighter doughs based on cauliflower or broccoli or I can give it a twist and enjoy smoked salmon with arugula or beef carpaccio with parmesan without it being a drama.

 

Advantages of konjac flour pasta and rice:

  • It does not provide carbohydrates.

  • It is easily digested.
  • It makes your brain think that you are eating that longed-for pasta or rice dish that you miss so much and reduces the anxiety derived from it.

Remember something:

Low-carb diets and ketogenic diets do not deserve to be treated as passing DIETS, they are rather nutritional plans that a person adopts with the intention of changing their eating habits and customs rooted in the established norm, therefore it is a lifestyle designed to improve a person’s health, they are not a fad diet more.
