Use Your Noodle ‑- the World's Best Pasta Swap!

Love pasta but hate the pounds it can pack on? Here's some great news for noodle fans!

Bite It!

House Foods Tofu Shirataki Noodle Shaped Tofu

I'm gonna be straight with you here. I had completely given up on pasta until I discovered the incredible Tofu Shirataki. Made of tofu and yam flour (it tastes better than it sounds), these noodlicious creations are high in fiber and very low in calories (40 for the entire two-serving package)! It's essentially "pasta" with hardly any carbs or calories. That's complete and total insanity! Add these to your favorite soups, salads or anywhere else you'd normally use pasta. I cannot possibly begin to explain to you how much I love and cherish these noodles. They will change your life. Available at select grocery stores, select Whole Foods locations, Japanese markets and online at HeavenlyDietStore.com.

Fight It!

Ronzoni Capellini

Pasta is high in carbs and calories. It's also addictive. That's a horrendous combination if you ask me. Credit should be given to anyone who can actually eat just one true serving of capellini (which, by the way, still packs in around 210 calories). This skinny spaghetti also contains 43 grams of carbs! Ack! As good as it is, pasta is one of those things that just adds hundreds and hundreds of unwanted calories to your meals. Make the switch over to Shirataki Tofu noodles, and satisfy your noodle cravings as often as you like, without having to buy new pants.
