Buckwheat is low in saturated fat, and very low in cholesterol and sodium and also a good source of dietary fibre, magnesium, copper and manganese.
 

Why is fibre so important for us?

•  Fiber slows the rate that sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream
• Fiber makes our intestines move faster
• Fiber cleans our colon
• Fiber helps reducing constipation

"Miracle" Noodles

Have you been dreaming of eating noodles without piling on weight?? Carboydrate free? With no calories? This must no longer be a dram.... the solution:

SHIRATAKI NOODLES!

Shirataki noodles are a traditional asian food, originally from Japan. They are low in carbohydrates as well as calories.Thanks to a very high amount of water in the noodles, they are very filling and also very low in calorie content. In fact, a block of these contains roughly ten calories – this is as close to zero-calorie-food as you can get. Some call them "skinny noodles" - which I total despite, I mean - who wants to be skinny??? Trained and healthy is the new skinny!!!!!

As they got quite popular also in Europe - especially for dieters - youcan easily find them at big supermarkets or at your asia-food grocers around the corner. You can find them also as "penne" or spaghetti - but to my taste they only go well with asian dishes - I simply don't like the texture with italian pasta sauces.

My favourite dish with shirataki noodles (or konjac noodles, as they are also called) is a vietnamese style salad , simply use the shirataki noodles instead of glass noodles or mungo bean noodles - but you can also stir fry them with vegetables and e.g. prawns.

The konjac flour in shirataki noodles is a good source of fiber. (Fiber from konjac flour is sometimes sold as a supplement under the name glucomannan.) A diet high in fiber can improve your digestion and strengthen your cardiovascular health. The fiber in shirataki noodles is very filling, and people who are currently eating a low-fiber diet are advised to start with small quantities of shirataki noodles until their digestive system can adjust. Shirataki noodles are also very low in carbohydrates, making them a good pasta choice for low-carb diets. They are also gluten-free and vegan.

Spicy Vietnamese Prawn & Mango Salad

Prawns - Onions - Pomelo - Cilantro

Who doesn't love the spicy and savoury vietnamese kitchen? It's not only deliciously tasty, it's healthy and really easy and quick to prepare! One or more ingredients not at home? Simply replace them by others according to your taste. (When using prawn, do make sure they are high quality and absolutely fresh - if you can't get fresh ones make sure they have a MSC label.)

MANGOS are not only tasty, but also a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin B6, and a very good source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Please keep in mind: a large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars. You don't like mangos but still want it fruity? What about some pomelo instead?

Prawns- Mango - Cucumber - Soybean Sprouts - Red Peppers - Cilantro

SOYBEAN SPROUTS - you don't like meat or seafood? Stick with the sprouts - the contains loads of protein, vitamin C, thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium, and are a very good source of vitamin K, folate, copper and manganese.

CILANTRO (Coriander leaves) - either you hate it or you love it, not much inbetween :) - in first case USE PLENTY of, they will not only give your dish that typical southeast-asian taste, but are also a good source of thiamin and zinc, and a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), vitamin K, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper and manganese - did you guess??
