Eat Water Slim Fettuccine - Shirataki, Zero Carbohydrates & Sugar-Free, Made from Organic Konjac Flour, Low-Calorie Vegan, Keto & Paleo-Friendly - 270g (Pack of 5)

I was so terrified by the idea of trying these but I was desperate for a low calorie solution. One evening I had nothing else to eat and I was starving, so I ordered take away. My order got cancelled and I was angry and miserable and I needed some decent food quickly. So my expectations were really high as my brain was set to eat take away. Following the instructions on the pack, I cooked them only with a hoisin sauce and some broccoli and I have to say they are fantastic! I didn't expect this! I washed them really well before using them and they looked disappointing but maybe it was just my brain and fear. They taste normal, just the texture is a bit different. I can definitely get used to these!

Some months ago, following a blood test I was advised by the doctor that I was pre-diabetic. At that point, after some research, I decided to follow a keto diet (not easy, as I am a vegetarian, but possible with some thought), and a subsequent blood test found my blood sugar within the normal range again, waheeey. I did lose a lot of weight on the keto diet, so have stuck with it, although I no longer need to. When I discovered konjac fettuccine and it was a win, win as it has very low carbs and calories. It does nor really have much of a taste, but when mixed in with a sauce is perfectly acceptable. It is slightly more chewy than normal pasta, but not too much so. The only downside is that it is fairly expensive compared with normal pasta. Incidentally, when first removed from its watery packaging it does pong a bit, but a good rinse in cold water soon cures that. Another advantage is that it needs very little cooking, it can be "dry" fried, but I tend to put it in with whichever sauce I am making and give it a couple of minutes of heating.

Yes they do not smell great, but I put them in a sieve and pour a kettle full of boiling water over them and the smell is gone. They are the closest tasting to pasta that I've found, just add your favourite seasonings and sauces and you hardly taste the difference. This has been a lifesaver for me following a low carb diet .

only problem i had with thses was the smell of fish when opened them put me off so can not comment on taste

Thanks to previous reviews, didn't sniff it lol. Opened and placed under the water to rinse for a good 2 minutes. Than made my favourite pasta Alfredo with shrimp and dill. Mmm delicious. The texture is not quite as pasta but knowing that is 0 carbs it's pretty good. I am fallowing keto and this is nice addition to my meals.

Smells fishy, makes you wonder what on earth is in it. I bought it cos its plant based and low calorie..I had bloating, gas and not to mention a week long diarrhoea and vomiting; more diarrhoea though. Not gonna say it was the product but guys im just being honest how my experience is. Made me rethink my choices of healthy eating over low calories products.

Luv this pasta! It fills u up and u just add ur own sauces and it’s a great meal to have and has. Wry little calories. Just follow dissections and heat it up after a good rinse and u can have a great meal.

I am on a Keto diet and this product is the best as alternative to pasta..taste juat like the real thing with out leaving you bloated. I love it, I will be ordering again.
