This time that food is actually noodles! Who would have thought that a carbohydrate could help them LOSE weight!? My advice - opt for fresh fruits and vegetables and unprocessed whole grains to up your fiber intake and stay satiated longer rather than relying on an extracted fiber from a plant that is thrown into processed foods. <ul> <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704541004575011172586219734.html">Konjac Noodles</ul> 2010-01-19T16:35:03-05:00 http://blog.nutritionbite.com/commentapi/default/uncategorized/2010/01/19/The-next-weight-loss-fad-noodles http://blog.nutritionbite.com/blog/default/2010/01/19/The-next-weight-loss-fad-noodles?page=comments&flavor=rss2 http://blog.nutritionbite.com/blog/default/2009/12/18/The-future-IT-health-food Kelp (and other types of seaweed) is a booming business today and is likely to be a trendy exotic health food in the near future. <ul> <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-tc-nw-kelpdec18,0,429890.story">Kelp- does a body good</ul> 2009-12-18T12:58:18-05:00 http://blog.nutritionbite.com/commentapi/default/uncategorized/2009/12/18/The-future-IT-health-food http://blog.nutritionbite.com/blog/default/2009/12/18/The-future-IT-health-food?page=comments&flavor=rss2 http://blog.nutritionbite.com/blog/default/2009/12/14/Food-Trends-of-2010 Great article summing up the food trends of 2010.
