so is konjac noodles okay on keto well another  name for konjac noodles would be miracle noodles  

or shirataki noodles now this is really popular in  asia japan and china but it’s made its way over to  

the us and uh it’s totally keto friendly 97 of  it is water it’s like this gel that swells up  

and three percent is fiber and  yes fiber is a carbohydrate  

but it doesn’t have any effect on insulin because  it’s non-digestible your microbes will live on it  

the type of fiber is called glucomannan and  there’s some interesting effects of this fiber  

it can act as a detox it can help with  weight loss there’s several studies  

and also it can help loosen mucus the thing is  when you consume these noodles first of all the  

flavor is flavorless there’s like no flavor so you  have to add some things to it it’s not the same  

texture as the regular pasta noodle unfortunately  but it’s similar okay and the other point is that  

you may get really thirsty when you consume  this because it’s going to swell up with water  

so you just want to drink some more water  it’ll hold like 50 times its weight in water  

it decreases hunger because it decreases this  hormone ghrelin okay that has to do with hunger  

it also can help stabilize your blood sugars  plus the fiber being digested by the microbes  

helps to increase certain small chain fatty acids  that help your blood sugars as well it can also  

help constipation but most people consume just a  small amount so they’re not going to notice that  

unless you consume like like huge huge amounts  again it has no calories because it’s a fiber
