Bianca CooksThe Daniel Plan

I am starting today on "The Daniel Plan" / .

This is a program to live a healthier life through diet and exercise. One of the most important things that I must do for Parkinson's is to eat healthy, nutritious foods and continue my exercise regime.

Today I am incorporating Konjac into my diet. What is it?
Konjac foods - Shirataki noodles ....

Konjac Root

Konjac Tree

• are naturally water soluble fiber with no fat, sugar, starch, or protein.
• contain zero net carbohydrates and zero calories.
• are wheat and gluten free.
• pure Vegetable
• can be stored in the room temperature for about one year. Don't need refrigeration
• JAS (Japan Agricultural Standard) Certified Organic
• are translucent and gelatinous, with no flavor of their own - they easily absorb the dominant flavors of any soup or dish.



Konjac Angel Hair

• are instant and come in a variety of styles and shapes - you can simply toss salsa with Konjac instant pasta for a quick meal.

What am I going to do with them? Well I have decided to make Chef Scott Conant's Tomato Basil Spaghetti sauce and using the Konjac Angel Hair Pasta instead of traditional pasta.

Stay tuned and I will let you know how it turns out!
