Fat free products tend to have more sugar which is why it "failed". But lower fat meals that are made out of real foods are fine. But even on a low fat diet you still want a minimum of 10-20% fat. You want to stay away from processed foods as much as possible anyways.

Konja/shirataki/ yam aka Miracle noodles are traditionally used in many asian cultures. They were a staple in my household growing up and I love them to this day. While they are not to everyone’s palate, please be sensitive to those who may enjoy it and see it as apart of their heritage.

[@emmalynbreaux1017]

@@tracyzhang2043 I agree on the sensitivity point. I just wanted to add that even if I rinsed something that smelt not pleasant to me, even if it’s all cleaned, or if I just didn’t add it but smelt it, it still kinda feel like I can smell it and taste it? Like I don’t like ginger, so when I get sushi, I ask them to not put it in because once I can smell it, I feel like everything is tasting like it, and smelling like it, even if I take the ginger out and throw it away before I eat. I don’t know if that makes sense but I just wanted to add that.

There sold as individual packs with two servings and ill buy two and theyre more of an after thought to me, i maybe eat a serving once every five months so its not like im throwing them in every other meal that I eat.

Being on a calorie deficit (which is the only way to lose weight) is really hard. Some people wouldn't be able to do it without those substitutions. Glad for you if you prefer to have less of the real thing (like cream) and can stick to it, some people would rather have something different, but the same amount as they normally would eat, to feel satisfied. You're doing some serious shaming here - and you don't even realize how toxic this behavior is. I can imagine a person trying to lose weight watching this and feeling bad about themselves because they can't stick to one serving of "real" cream while you shame the alternative they could have enjoyed without disrupting their journey.

[@captainkacke1651]

Konjak is actually a very normal side-dish ingredient in Japan, I was disgusted by the smell at first as well. Instead of mixing it with something like cheese tho, it's way better consumed if you prepare it traditionally japanese with soy sauce/dashi base or with a little spice or sesame oil added. Just examples. In that case, the smell is still there, but it's not fighting with the other ingredients. It is also put into stews, hotpots or long slowly boiled vegetables, where the smell will cease and the Konjak will absorb all the flavor around it. Not really for nutrition, but mainly a textural experience, because it won't lose it's gummylike texture no matter how long you cook it for. Konjak has been eaten by japanese people for centuries and even though it's extremely complex to produce, they still go on doing it until this day. Also, the smell will get a little weaker if you let it sit in water for a while instead of rinsing it (don't know if I'd advise for that with that weird noodles though, seems like there are other ingredients mixed in as well). I used to work in a kitchen at a restaurant in Japan and the chef there told me because Konjak is made from a root, there will be starches coming out if you let it sit in water (just like with potatoes for example).

So glad!

I tried those noodles one time at a suggestion by my brother. But he mentioned that you really have to get used to the texture. They are absolutely revolting I don't think I could ever get used to that texture or the fishy smell when you first opened the bag. I would rather just eat plain meat spaghetti sauce with no noodles.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I understand!

[@AndiGurl]

That was fun to watch. I love your facial expressions and sound effects and those The Office inserts LMAO!! I'm still not on TikTok so thanks for sharing because I only see what others show me. I don't think I'd try any of those recipes to be honest.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

So glad you enjoyed it!

Gosh this is like everything my doctor and nutritionist told me to eat after I got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Yick.

[@alexx8888]

Type 1 gang 🥳

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Oh no!

Rice cakes with peanut butter and banana on top is delish on it's own, not even as an alternative to toast

[@L1ttlef0ot]

The first one could be swapped for rice cakes made with brown rice. But I’d rather put actual nut butter on it with dates and chia seeds

[@antoniopaine8128]

Your always traumatized thooooo

[@tanikokishimoto1604]

Rice cakes: I like them straight up, especially the seaweed flavor. I will also toast them with butter (real butter) or I'll make open faced toasted cheese sandwiches out of them. I probably buy a sleeve twice a year, though. I won't be eating faux chocolate. The Cool Whip thing. I loathe Cool Whip. Sorry, I really don't consider that to be "food", and it tastes lousy to me atop that. Egg wrap: I'd eat that but with the whole eggs, would let the cheese MELT, and yeah, I'd use a knife and fork. Basically, a rolled up omelet. Oh, the pickle is wrong, it goes on the side if you really want a pickle... Those white yam / kojac noodles - I really really like them, and don't think they smell bad at all. I like their texture, but they don't have much flavor of their own. They're excellent in Korean japchae. I don't eat them that often, probably once a month. The recipe you made with them doesn't appeal to me at all. Pudding: I would have stopped at the strawberries and yogurt - low fat or full fat, never 0 fat. I am fully lost with the rest of that. I cannot stand the aftertaste of artificial sugars, any of them.

loving this more casual set up + funny editing. feels more personal))))

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Glad you enjoy it!

The tone in this video is so negative. You advocate for not demonizing foods, yet your background music and the video itself felt like it was antagonizing the recipes you shared . I understand you don’t like diet culture but others may genuinely like these recipes.

[@sabrinaramsahai7838]

Agreed

[@isabellf1210]

Because it’s her opinion?🤷🏼‍♀️

[@TC-pp1cx]

@@isabellf1210 I don’t think I asked a question.

[@jasminejohnson7990]

Agreed. She appeals to people with eating disorders. Honestly, if you don’t have an ED then I would take what she says with a grain of salt.

[@TC-pp1cx]

@@jasminejohnson7990 I agree! I really enjoy her videos but I think I realized that they’re not for me because I am probably on the other side of the spectrum (overweight trying to lose weight). I just wish she’d acknowledge or made some sort of disclaimer on who her audience is because I was personally misleaded by her content.

[@lostpapyrus]

13:53 when i first tried miracle noodles i didnt prepare them right, but I've learned how to and i actually like them. i just made some for breakfast and ate a bit(would have ate the whole plate but im not that hungery right now.) i put some sauce from Walmart on them, chia seeds and parmesan and it actually is alright. although i like the miracle rice better.😅

[@ankhera]

Is THAT what Cool Whip is? I've always just substituted "whipped cream in a can" when I've heard/read it. I'm both intrigued and horrified. 💚 from New Zealand.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Yup, it's imitation whipped cream!

[@nancymcnafferson3192]

I actually think this is really helpful and would love to see you do more of these recipes. Could you review Skinnytaste? I like that her recipes are real food. It helps to know if these diet gurus are experts in nutrition or not.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I'll put her on the list!

[@FoundFiber]

As a Weight Watchers drop out out, they all reek of the things that would be talked about as low point snacks and meal hacks. Take all the carbs and all the joy from everything and replace it with fat free, plain Greek yogurt.

[@tegztegz]

The noodles - rinse them then dry them out in the frying pan to get rid of the extra liquid and you won't have the smell or rubbery texture 👍👍👍

[@amandawillner2256]

miracle noodles are way better without dairy! Gluten Free/ AIP, and they make a nice side to a salad with some coconut aminos and everything/ bagel seasoning!

[@shigemorif1066]

I grew up eating konyakku (aka miracle noodles) because of my Japanese heritage, so it’s weird to see it in these diet applications where it is paired with strange ingredients like Alfredo. I honestly never even heard of the miracle noodle brand because I buy it at Asian markets. Konyakku is used and is delicious in sukiyaki (in noodle form) and oden (in larger shapes) for example. If you do want to get rid of the smell a bit more, you can parboil it for a couple of minutes. But TBH when you cook it in traditional recipes you normally don’t have that smell. You might’ve even had konyakku before if you’ve eaten sukiyaki!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Interesting, thank you for letting me know!

[@healthy-ish8923]

In my disordered eating days I used to eat fat free cool whip straight from the tub as a snack....now I can't even fathom eating it

[@maxamilliamoroni4431]

I hate ice cream, but I LOVE cool whip. Those ice cream sammies (but with regular cool whip) sound amazing.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I hope you try them!

[@susanyonkman3068]

The commentary on the everything egg white roll up was so funny.

[@nikowearden252]

In the UK the company kallo makes these thin rice cakes with dark chocolate and they are whole grain and vegan - my mum buys them because they are low cal but honestly they are to dieeee for! I think whole grain rice cakes taste the same tbf, so easy switch if you wanted more fibre.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

That sounds great!

[@laurie896]

I want to try the Graham cracker ice cream sandwich, but with homemade banana ice cream, and yes, roll it in sprinkles or chocolate chips!!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Sounds great!
