From: "Sherry Gates" <TheTropix at msn.com> on 2011.12.20 at 13:01:29(22492) I wonder if these noodles also help burn fat. Has anyone else noticed the product "Lipozene" on tv commercials? It's supposed to be a fat burner, and it shows Amorphophallus konjac listed on the face of the box. Merry Christmas & many Blessings!

This page is available only in the Polish version, it shows two products, There is an inflorescence of A. paeoniifolius instead konjac, but it was the designer's mistake who wasn't a botanist. http://araceum.abrimaal.pro-e.pl/slownik/aplefit.htm Marek HTML +More ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherry Gates To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] "No-cal" noodles made from Amorphophallus konjac I wonder if these noodles also help burn fat.

(of course, you can cook the shirataki noodles as if they were pasta, with tomato sauce or make mac-n-cheese, and expect the same results). there's no smell or taste to them, it's a texture thing. konnyaku bricks are chewy and can be cut to pieces and stir-fried with veggies, in a curry sauce, for example; or cooked in soups/stews. the japanese have a traditional winter broth/stew (oden), made with a dashi-based broth, with konnyaku, simmered daikon (big white radish), boiled egg, surimi (fish cake, fish balls), shiitake mushroom, usually served with a dab of mustard. it's great in the winter. years ago, in NY, there was a rest. called sweet-n-tart café, which served innovative and unusual food. to this day, people i talk to ask me what happened to it, and we reminisce about the food they served. they had tongshui (????), which were sweet soups served as dessert. but they also made delicious wonton noodle soups, and the noodles were konjac noodles, tied in very cute, translucent bundles, served with wontons and spinach. it was a great place, and lots of people miss it.

From: Jason Hernandez <jason.hernandez74 at yahoo.com> on 2011.12.28 at 22:53:22(22499) "No-cal" simply means indigestible, i.e. it will pass through your body int act. This actually can have some benefit for people whose weight problems are due to excessive feelings of hunger, because it will make you feel full while you are waiting for it to pass through. And if you feel full, you w ill not be eating excess snacks. But in the long run, it will not substitute for changes in habits.
