What about Palmini...?

Thomas DeLauer Hey Thomas I enjoyed this video! Do you think you could do a video on teen athlete nutrition?

[@LC-yv9ey]

do you ever cheat Thomas, like with pasta ever?!

[@qwestgirl]

@@PhilipFrazer Yes...I was wondering if Thomas has ever tried it.

[@nannetteaustin2308]

Thanks! I will try the Palm Hearts now. I have been using fresh cabbage, knife shredded thin, very lightly cooked in a cast iron pan with light salt and avocado oil. I loved it under my fresh tomato/ fresh grated parmesan cheese/basil/olive oil (Pomodora Sauce). I cooked it till the cabbage was just soft, definitely before it could get brown.

[@christinebalas2087]

Kelp noodles are AWESOME, soft and the most like actual pasta if you soak them in lemon juice and baking soda for 2 minutes prior to use. Just rinse off the juice/soda mixture and heat and serve with sauce of your choice! I'm 100% Italian and this is by far the closest in texture to real pasta. It's all in the prep! Comes out soft just like spaghetti.

[@sandywhitford5631]

Thank you!!

[@daphne201239]

Where do you find them?

[@daphne201239]

Oh, now that I saw the keep noodles in the video I've seen it but at the store I've only seen it in seaweed salad so it has sugar. I wonder if I could rinse it off. Lol

Spaghetti squash is awesome. I make a red sauce with tomato paste, red wine, and organic chorizo, pastured butter, olive oil, spices and herbs. So good. And it’s a two night meal. Absolutely delicious.

[@Yahaira_StudentNurse]

Life saver I don’t trust anyone but Thomas when looking for keto friendly foods. I just came across a bag of palm pasta and searched on KZbin and yessss Thomas has that on his video !! I also bought a box of whole organic spaghetti squash*^... I can always depend on his videos for quality information. He’s the “been there done that” health guru thanks a bunch true life saver 😅😊

[@shanej.parker9230]

I want to be very honest with you, I am doing keto now for 1 month, the results are amazing. I lost a lot of weight and inches etc. but to be honest my admiration for this life style changed completely. I hate keto, I hate it so much you cannot imagine and the reason why I didn't give up is because I have a lot of self discipline. I will continue to do it for 1 more month to lose the last kgs and then I will do a slow transition to "normal" eating and try to maintain my weight through it. I dream about the first bite I will have of a delicious big green apple... I really hate keto... Kudos to those who do it for so long like Thomas.

[@breal6463]

I'm 6 months in and I LOVE it. Down 60 lbs so far, from 250 to 190. I feel like fruits are just vegetables but with unnecessary sugar, and that sugar is such a slippery slope for me--a few bites of apples leads to more and more cravings. And I really enjoy the way my body feels, lighter and more energized, when I stay away from sugar completely. To each their own!

[@cristinaparmart817]

Shane J. Parker Shane good on you I follow the Mediterranean keto that Thomas is very kin on as well . I used very healthy fats , olive oil, fresh eggs , salmon all kind of fruit well the one with lots of sugar I don’t meat etc and carbs yes carbs but per day . I’m 52 kilos one up one down lost over 18 kilos in a year could never follow keto I like grains to much . Saying that if a overdue one day or two I follow low carb day of Mediterranean keto . Saying that I don’t need to loose much more and my health is good , look in to his videos and you wil find the Mediterranean keto xx🇬🇧🙂

[@shanej.parker9230]

@@cristinaparmart817 yes I completely agree with you that Mediterranean eating lifestyle is so good. My parents are portuguese and I grew up with this kind of food and the reason why I hate keto is not necessary because you cannot eat carbs but it's more that you cannot eat all vegetables like carrots that I love or fruits and the fact that there is no room for a cheat meal once or twice a month makes me go nuts! I will transition to Mediterranean keto for sure xo 😊

[@nhpaul5669]

Thanks Thomas. Very informative. I have been using shirotaki miracle noodles for about 2 years. I’ve actually gotten to enjoy these as much as regular pasta. They absorb the flavor of the sauce and you can each a lot without that “I ate too much” feeling. Works great with keto! With good sauce and tons of grated Parmesan cheese - not too much of a sacrifice. Now mash potatoes on the other hand... thanks again!

[@erikhalimamalakforsberg5457]

Hi! I eat seaweed noodles instead of pasta. A tip: I don't like the rubber taste but if you place the noodles in the pastasauce and then heat the noodles up (in the pasta sauce) then after a minute they become soft like regular noodles/spagetti.

[@aerodraco]

Yummy! My favorite keto pasta is the hearts of palm spaghetti from Natural Heaven!

[@JOKable25]

PRO TIP FOR KELP NOODLES! Marinate them in 50:50 lemon juice and tamari to get them softer! (we did this at a restaurant I used to work at)

[@raystevens3747]

Baking soda and boiled water for 5 mins also removes the rubbery crunchy to be like closer to Ramen noodles I use them in my soups all the time

[@a.n5740]

I actually really like zoodles - I started using them as a pasta replacement prior to keto when I wanted a ‘sauce delivery device’ without the starch. I don’t use a KitchenAid attachment...there’s the Inspiralizer and Paderno (?) spiralizers which work really great and are around $30-$40. It’s actually worth it if you eat them a lot bc the prepared noodles are around $8/package in my grocery store. My 2 y.o. Also really likes to watch the veggie turn into ribbons which is an added bonus.

[@thatscraftable4820]

Honestly giving up sugary things is no problem at all I haven't had any issues with doing that but lordy do I ever crave pasta and bread...I believe I'm completely addicted to it quite honestly and it is definitely my hardest thing to give up.... and not sure what it is about pasta and breads that are just so addictive to me.... it's been the hardest thing to give up and has kept me from doing keto successfully

[@thestormlscoming]

Thank you for talking about the nutrient profile. I feel like I'm in the minority where I don't like pasta that much - bread is my carb of choice, but I want to make some filling veggie stir fry dishes. I like spaghetti squash but zoodles are always too watery for me. I love zucchini but hate it in noodle form. I forgot that I have a box of heart of palm pasta at home from TJ's - I assumed it would be high carb so have been avoiding it. Good to know that it has some benefits.

[@PhilBrown28]

I've been eating Palmini's hearts of palm noodles for the last couple of months. I really enjoy these as a substitute for pasta. The mineral profile is a bonus! Great video. Thanks Thomas! Palmini even has a Lasagna form that I hear is really good.

Ultimately, there really isn't an alternative. Pasta is 100% Pasta. Fortunately for me, I really do like these alternatives... especially the Kelp noodles and Konjac noodles. I've reached a point where I eat them at least 3 times a weak as a fake pho or ramen. I don't even crave pasta at all, but I find myself craving the Kelp noodles for some reason.

Thomas! A FANTASTIC spaghetti/pasta substitute in my opinion is enoki mushroom!! I can’t believe not enough people know about it’s potential use as a substitute! (Especially if you season it well) You should try it and perhaps make a video about it in order to spread the word :)

Yes, all that work plus $15 bucks for a pound AF for pasta isn't my idea of easy, convenient, or budget friendly. I'll stick to Chickpea pasta 2 bucks a pack when I get a craving.

[@bassamal-kaaki3253]

@@dlawrence2053 Chick pea pasta is a great idea although the carb content is much higher. However I prefer doing it with AF myself because it satisfies me more than store bought pasta. When you make your own food, it is filled with more energy and is more healing to the body.

In Australia, the hard pasta called slendier is great. 1.7g carbs for 50g serving.

[@lorrainecray3965]

Hi, I’m Aussie too, I’ve just discovered Slendier today had the rice version it was so good. I also seen a channel today that states Konjac is bad for you, so now my brain is in a twist what to believe. BUT it was delicious I totally enjoyed it. Is there a certain amount you should have I’m totally new to all these new kind of products. I’m 66 & still learning lol.

[@Curt_Randall]

another weird but effective alternative are yellow (wax) beans. It loosely resembles ziti pasta noodles once the sauce and extras are added, and the texture is similar if cooked tender.

[@thedata831]

It is the betacryptoxanthan in the squash that is protective. It is also in high concentrations in red bell peepers.

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

Just seeing this 4 years later. My favorites as Pasta are the zoodles and the Hearts of Palm (which I just found recently at Aldi's and hope they continue selling them). I like the Miracle Noodles too, but more for stir fry than as pasta. Spaghetti Squash I just can't get my taste buds around, nor seaweed noodles. Good to know the nutritional info though.

[@bentrider]

I have been doing calories in versus calories out most of my 68 years. It's how I have maintained my ideal weight. I am never hungry. I can eat pretty much what I want. However, I have learned that the foods that fill me up without increasing calories are what I end up eating for the most part. Coincidentally those foods are also whole, unrefined foods. Of all of your recommendations, I have enjoyed shirataki noodles and also slim rice more than the other three. I appreciate this video because it is very valuable information for people who want to reduce their calorie intake, have something tasty to eat, and still feel full. I have never worried much about macro-nutrients. To me it's just calories in versus calories out.

I like Spaghetti Squash with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and some dried Italian herbs on it. Not a huge fan of it as "a marinara transport agent"--it's OK, but I prefer Zoodles for that. Not all zoodle-makers are expensive. I got one that works like a cheap pencil sharpener--you just put the end of the zucchini (or carrot or whatever) into it and twist. The zoodles come out the side. No moving parts to break and under $20 on Amazon.

[@zorabw8948]

Thank you so much for this valuable overview. You keep bringing up the latest and newest trends, which is super cool. I called my Asian store this morning, and they sell palm hearts in glasses (not in tins - I am thrilled!!!) for a reasonable price. Shirtake/konjac noodles I have eaten frequently. Now that I have learnt that eating them reduces the hunger hormone level, I am definitely going to eat them more regularly. The important thing is to *drink a lot of water* when eating konjac.

Boy! I love my Zoodles! I wish Spaghetti Squash was available here. Weird that it is not here in Rural Mexico. Hearts of Palm bother me a bit, as I worry about its overall sustainability and ethical harvesting. Last two, only online, from the US with a 50% mark up, so Fine! Sticking to Zoodles. First regular dish I ever switched to Keto was a very basic Spaghetti Dish that we love with lots of garlic, mushrooms, parsley, olive oil and Spanish or Portuguese style Chorizo. Yummy, but oh so fattening if served over the usual box of pasta. Zoodles cleaned that up in a flash!! Thanks Thomas. Great Info as usual.

I will have to look into some of these for trying to reduce my sugar intake, although the miracle one kinda scares me... after going through colon/rectal cancer and the surgeries that it required. I have had 4 blockages one I went to the hospital for and the rest I applied what I learned in the hospital. Cucumbers and broccoli have tried to take me out.. I chop them up smaller now. But I do obviously forget when in presence of food... but the absorption factors scare me that it might do another blockage, but will see about some of the others. I hear a lot of buzz about keto, but seems like a high priced meal plan to me.

[@DanielosVK]

Thomas, what do you think of the following noodles (not for keto, but low carb; also, they have the same variations of noodles but with lentils -- any preference for lentils vs. chickpeas?): 1) Banza -- ingredients: Chickpeas, Tapioca, Pea Protein, Xanthan Gum. Does the tapioca ruin this for you, or do you think it's fairly harmless with chickpeas being the dominant ingredient? 2) Barilla Chickpea Noodles -- ingredients: Chickpea Flour only. Is chickpea flour higher glycemic than regular chickpeas, or are these pretty good? Thanks for the help!

Costco started carrying Shiratake in their refrigerated section and they are REALLY, REALLY GOOD! They have a different texture than other brands I’ve tried. Not as rubbery and more of a soft pasta like texture.

I purchase them in my local Giant and Harris Teeter. My favorite pasta alternative.

Sara Mitchell it also doesn’t digest and stays in your stool the whole time lol
