Why there is no protein in Miracle Noodle
It’s a bit of a surprise that no entrepreneur has made a killing selling protein beer. Let’s put on our advertising thinking cap for a second and invent a name for this hypothetical libation that’s taking the nation by storm, satisfying the thirst of gym rats, soccer moms, standard run-of-the-mill alcoholics who might think that the more protein beer they drink, the healthier they’ll become...and everyone in between...let’s see...how about: Amino Beer? Imagine, an afternoon hitting the gym for a muscle-pumping workout, then straight to the bar for a protein... Read more...

Easy Low-Carb Desserts with Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice
What most people consume for dessert, be it ice cream, cake, cookies, brownies, or other sinfully-rich, sugar-loaded treats, is not healthy. Most desserts precipitously raise blood sugar levels.  This is especially problematic in the U.S.A., a country that by the year 2050, if current trends continue, may have a sugar-related epidemic, with 1 out of 3 American adults becoming diabetic, the Centers for Disease Control predicts. In an effort to become healthier, thousands of Americans have gone gluten-free, naively believing that avoiding gluten gives them carte-blanche to eat any dessert guilt-free. But sugar itself is gluten-free so somebody... Read more...
Is Oatmeal Gluten-Free?
 Unlike other nutrition fads that have come and gone, oatmeal has been a mainstay for dozens of years. Easy and quick to make, oatmeal is one of the most nutritious breakfasts.   Millions of people every morning start their day with a piping hot bowl of it. As long as it’s not mixed with spoonfuls of sugar or agave or any other sweetener besides stevia or cinnamon, oatmeal provides slow-burning carbohydrates, providing rock-steady energy until it’s time for lunch.   But for those who have gone gluten-free, either because they...

What's the Healthiest Flour to Cook With?
Perhaps you read the Miracle Noodle blog entitled, “What’s the best oil to cook with?” But just in case you missed it, here’s a quick primer: cooking with vegetable oils: bad cooking with pure tropical fruit oils (coconut, palm): good cooking with olive oil: good (as long as it’s low heat) cooking with non-oxidized saturated fat (butter, lard, coconut oil): very good When it comes to cooking with flour, the most important thing to take into account is the glycemic load of the flour, meaning, how much will your blood...

Why is gluten such a problem these days?
The rates of Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity seem to be rising ever higher? But why? Several thousand years ago, perhaps as long ago as 20,000 to be exact, when wheat was first cultivated, gluten, one of the main proteins in wheat, didn’t seem to be a problem, so why is it now? Today’s wheat isn’t the same as it was when human beings first began to settle down in communities, transforming from hunters-gatherers to agrarian settlers. You don’t have to go back thousands of years, though, to see... Read more...
How to Cook Healthy, Easy and Fast
There are two primary reasons why some people who want to lose weight ultimately fail: the first stems from a rigid belief that in order to eat healthy, one must go on a forager’s diet: eating boring, bland bamboo shoots, sprouts and seeds and other culinary buzzkills. The second reason involves speed. There’s a good reason why the masses of American workers who do not have the luxury of a two-hour Italian-style family lunch instead opt for the convenience of the drive-thru window. Dinner is no exception; there’s no time... Read more...
Healthy desserts for diabetes
Despite what most people may think, diabetics can have their cake and eat it, too. All it takes is substituting high-sugar and high-calorie conventional baking agents with low glycemic offerings. Let’s dive right into some luscious desserts that diabetics can enjoy, guilt-free.... Hot Chocolate To make a healthier, low-sugar version of hot chocolate, you’ll want to find a replacement for conventional chocolate syrup, which, in a small two tbsp. serving size, contains 24 grams of sugar. One of the best replacements is raw cacao, which is the unprocessed form of... Read more...
Why Low-Carb Diets Can be Dangerous
 One of the most common dietary pitfalls low-carb dieters make concerns fat. There are actually two problems that concern fat. First, some low-carb dieters neglect to eat enough healthy sources of fat. Although plenty of vegetables and fruits and lean protein might be consumed, if you do not eat enough healthy sources of fat (avocados, nuts, seeds, coconut oils, raw or organic cheeses, olives, olive oil), you’ll likely have to eat every couple of hours, or worse yet, your health could suffer. Healthy sources of dietary fat play numerous roles... Read more...
What's the Healthiest Oil to Cook With?
The extremely offensive and derogatory insult, “lard ass,” implies that one is most strikingly unhealthy, a ticking-time bomb, perhaps. But could it be that being a lard ass is far healthier than being a veggie butt?   When it comes to healthy cooking, lard lords over veggie oil. It’s far healthier to cook with animal fats and tropical oils than it is to cook with most vegetable oils. Here’s why.... Though lard is comprised of pure, unadulterated pig fat, as long as it has not been oxidized (read: turned rancid),... Read more...
