Many people are planning to lose weight. Although it is a diet that requires adjusting your diet, for those who cannot give up "noodle dishes," here are three healthy types of noodles.

 

▶Buckwheat noodles

 

Buckwheat noodles, unlike wheat flour noodles, do not sharply raise blood sugar levels, making them excellent for weight loss. When blood sugar rises rapidly, our body produces a large amount of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, to stabilize the elevated blood sugar. At this time, insulin stores the sugar in the blood as fat, leading to weight gain. Buckwheat noodles have a lower glycemic index (the degree of blood sugar increase) than wheat flour, and buckwheat, the main ingredient of buckwheat noodles, contains a 'rutin' component that regulates blood sugar like insulin, making it effective for weight loss. Therefore

 

Although the calorie content of buckwheat noodles is similar to that of wheat noodles, considering blood sugar levels, buckwheat noodles are a better choice for weight loss. According to the Food and Drug Administration's food nutrition database, buckwheat noodles contain 136 kcal per 100g, while the same amount of regular wheat noodles contains 135 kcal. In addition, buckwheat is rich in nutrients that are beneficial for weight loss. Especially

 

It contains a large amount of essential amino acids and vitamins that help prevent obesity. The vitamin P in buckwheat is good for burning fat accumulated in the abdomen. However, when choosing buckwheat noodle products, it is better to select those made with 100% buckwheat.

▶Tofu noodles

 

Tofu noodles are made from tofu, which is rich in plant-based protein and is ideal for dieting. Unlike meat-based proteins found in animal flesh, this plant-based protein contains no saturated fatty acids or cholesterol. Tofu noodles contain approximately 165 kcal per 100 grams, but since protein provides a longer-lasting sense of fullness compared to carbohydrates, they help with weight loss. Additionally, tofu contains a large amount of isoflavones, a type of plant estrogen, which has anti-cancer effects and is beneficial for blood circulation.

 

Konjac noodles

 

Konjac has a low calorie content, making it excellent for weight loss. It is composed of water and dietary fiber, containing only about 10 kcal per 100 grams. The rich dietary fiber in konjac helps improve constipation that can occur during dieting. The 'allicin' component in konjac also has the effect of suppressing appetite, aiding in weight loss. However, konjac absorbs water and expands in volume, and since it is not absorbed in the body, excessive consumption can lead to symptoms such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea.
