These seem like a great solution to fill you up with no carbs and they also do slim rice and slim pasta made with the same stuff .NO carbs sounds good to me !

Save your money ...they were awful

A zucchini is much cheaper and makes much better low carb pasta. I think. Easy to grow too.

Spaghetti squash for me.

Thanks for the review Bean sprouts are good in a stir fry instead of noodles.

I watched the guy from bare naked noodles on Dragons' Den the other night on iplayer. The product looked horrible, his presentation was painful, but he got the money

 

[Susiespearish]

Just think how many 1000 people you saved money for in that post?

LOL ...I tried the slim water pasta tonight too and that was just as vile .Think I'll stick to ordinary veg from now on !

What do you use to cut it in to strips Totto ? I should have a few courgettes (Zucchini) ready in the green house next week

Bean sprouts are 13 grms of carb per cup Avocado .I was hoping these 0 carb noodles might be a good filler even though I'm not fond of noodles ...ahhhh well .Back to the drawing board

You must have a big cup!

Sainsburys per 100g = 0.7g carbs
Tesco per 100g = 3.7g carbs

The value is not exactly clear, but somewhere between the two I reckon.

@Totto

Ahhh ...Guess I'll just have to use a knife .

Sorry @Avocado Sevenfold I trusted google but the one site i picked must have had it wrong .

 

[claymic]

I tried the slim water ones and we're not as bad as another brand I tasted ages ago

Some people use a julienne peeler Susie. I know Lakeland do one.

Personally, when I want courgette ribbons, for whatever reason, I peel (or don't) the courgette and cut into rough quarters, length-wise. Remove the watery centre and seeds, then use a potato peeler to create the long thin strips. There's a little waste at the end, unless you're brave with your fingers. I'm not that brave.

@AndBreathe oh that sounds more like it .Thank you .will try this over the weekend .I love courgette.

I can only imagine how bad the other ones must have tasted then claymic ....I just chewed and chewed and they would not disappear .They were the slim water ones from H&B .I also found them incredibly hard to swallow and had to pull strands out of my throat !

Oh poor you. No that is not pleasant. I never eat them on their own or with other dry food. Usually have them with a bologna sauce

I made a sauce with creme fraiche and melted some cheese in but it didn't help .I'm trying the rice tonight *gulp* I'd already bought it so I'll see if thats better *crosses fingers *
