High Fiber Noodles You'll Love!
It's critical that you get enough fiber in your diet. You may have heard many of the benefits of eating fiber—it's excellent for your health and digestion.
But if you're on a high-protein or low-carb eating plan (like keto), you may find that you could use a little more fiber in your diet. Even whole wheat products that appear healthier and higher in fiber have high carbohydrate counts.
Why Fiber Matters
If you’re concerned you're not getting enough fiber, don’t worry! There are some great, simple ways to incorporate more fiber into your diet so you can reap the benefits. And what great benefits they are! Here are some of the reasons you should get more fiber:
-
Fiber Helps Digestion: Fiber keeps things moving along smoothly and efficiently through your digestive system. If you suffer from gut troubles and constipation, then more fiber can be a great solution. When you combine fiber with hydration, food moves in and out of the body with ease.
-
Better Blood Sugar: Soluble fiber is a fiber that dissolves in water—creating a gel-like substance that helps you feel full. Think of chia seeds or psyllium fiber as examples. All fiber helps slow down your body's absorption of sugar, but especially soluble fiber, which helps keep blood sugar levels steady.
-
Helps with Weight Control: Foods that contain a lot of fiber are filling. You feel satisfied and full for a long time after you eat. It helps you avoid the temptation to eat too much or continue eating to the point of feeling “stuffed.”
-
Reduces “Bad” Cholesterol: Soluble fiber "binds" with cholesterol, so it moves through your small intestine without being absorbed into the bloodstream. By doing this, it helps to reduce your LDL or "bad" cholesterol.
-
Feeds Your Gut Bacteria: Fiber is prebiotic, meaning it feeds the bacteria in your gut. These beneficial bacteria help with digestion and immunity, so it's important to keep your gut biome in check.
So, as you can see, fiber is a crucial component of your diet. While many vegetables are a keto-friendly source of fiber, fiber is also found in fruit, whole grains, and some processed foods, which are a no-go on a low-carbohydrate diet. With low-carb, high-fat diets like keto, there's often some risk of not getting enough fiber.
Fortunately, there are some great keto-friendly high-fiber foods that you can enjoy—including It's Skinny Pasta.
The Unique Benefits of It's Skinny Shirataki Noodles
It’s Skinny Pasta is made from konjac root. Konjac root is a fibrous plant that contains high levels of a special type of fiber known as glucomannan. This fiber is ideal for keeping you full and keeping blood sugar levels steady.
The benefits of konjac root and glucomannan fiber have been long-known in Asian countries, but it’s just gaining in popularity in the United States, thanks to shirataki noodles.
You may have seen shirataki noodle options at the grocery store or read about them online. Some brands of shirataki noodles are a little too fibrous, chewy, or have a strange aftertaste.
With It’s Skinny Pasta, we’ve perfected the art of the shirataki noodle. It’s Skinny Pasta tastes exactly how it should—like pasta. It’s so easy to prepare too. Simply open the pack of It’s Skinny, drain, rinse, and add your noodles to other ingredients when you’re almost done cooking. In about three minutes, the noodles are heated through and ready to enjoy.
Unlike other low-carb pasta swaps, It’s Skinny pasta takes on the surrounding flavors of the sauce and protein in your dish. There's no strange aftertaste or veggie-forward flavor (like with zucchini noodles). Instead, you just get yummy, delicious, craving-satisfying pasta.
Better still, It's Skinny comes in many fantastic shapes:
