I am trying to lose weight. What is the cheapest way of getting Konjac products?
I am in Sydney.
Also, where to get quinoa? The cheapest I found is about 200 dollars per 25kg. Is that a good price? Is it even cheaper in Costco? Have anyone tried ebay?
This is absolutely true. And not just sugar - all carbs. Stop eating bread, sugar, and anything else high in carbohydrates. You just get hungry again in an hour.
I gave up carbs again two days ago and the reduced hunger effect was noticeable on the first day.
Don't buy into the sugar hype either. Just be sensible.
If any single item - sugar, fat, quinoa, carbs, whatever - is glorified or demonised for losing weight then it's most probably hype.
There is only one thing that will make you lose weight
Calorific deficit
Anyhing else is just bullshit. See bodyforwife.com or http://physiqonomics.com/ for no-shit advice.
Just buy quinoa in smaller amounts as you need it - eg. 500g @ Woolworths $7 - that will last you a few weeks at least!!!!
To lose weight, eat lots of different coloured vegetables - eat a rainbow :) - with (a little) quinoa and add some protein eg. eggs or fish - remember KISS? (keep it simple stupid). Do it the healthy way - omit the konjac noodles, which probably have no nutritional value. Mum.
As long as you don't have any existing medical/genetic condition/s that prevent you from maintaining a healthy weight, a well balanced diet based on your daily activity, is all you need. The key is to avoid over consumption. If you have trouble controlling the level of consumption then try to implement some form of intermittent fasting. Quinoa is great and all but I wouldn't consider it the cheapest option and I wouldn't discount the many other more readily/locally (Quinoa currently is grown only in specific climates, with most of the portion from South America) available sources of nutrients.
Inexpensive quinoa at a shop in Auburn called Harkola.
Your doing it wrong, the super food isn't super food because it's a weightloss bullet. They have higher then avarage nutrient content. Eating a heap of it will be just as bad for your health, there are things you can do though.
Buy some smaller plates, the smaller the plate the less you will eat to mentally feel the same full.
Find places you can include more exercise in your day such as a dance while you sweep.
Eat healthy, as someone said before eat the rainbow, that said the idea behind thAt is you get different nutrients it's not really for weight loss…
Reverse your meals, have your big high protein and energy breakfast, Snapple and a yoghurt for morning tea, a medium size lunch, I find a sandwich and some carrot sticks or crackers and dip is good, lots of ways to make crackers, you can just cut lavash bread (the flat Latvian one) and spray with oil and sprinkle with seasoning then oven till crisp. And a very light dinner or meal replacement shake ect
They have higher then avarage nutrient content.
Konjac is mostly fibre, which is undigestable and therefore has zero Calories for the human body. It's like eating rubber in more ways than one.
reduce portion size, cut sugar (not even "treats"), moderate exercise, cut booze. no food that is modern processed (i.e. that requires processing at a tech level developed in the last 100 years)
This is the best way, got me from over weight to under weight, now I'm having a junk diet to gain wait (minus sugary products), till stick to reduce portion size and no sugar principle.
Don't eat anything with a nutrition label on it. Ironically most of these these foods lack nutrition.
This is what I do too. I lost 18kg.
I gave up drinking alcohol and lost 4kg in 2 weeks.
What Is The Cheapest Way of Getting Konjac Noodles and Quinoa to Lose Weight?
I personally think they're absolutely fine they way they look.
You can buy shirataki noodles (Konjac jelly) from any korean / asian marts. They usually put these into hotpots as some kind of cheap filler.
Also, they smell really bad because of the vinegar used to preserve them and they require you to rinse them before consumption.
Quinoa is also too expensive to really implement as a rice alternative. I recommend just doubling your vegetable intake and eating more fibrous veg, such as eggplant, zucchini, cucumber, brocolli and cauliflower. You can also grate the cauliflower if you wanted it to make it resemble rice.
Calories in v Calories out.
You need to be in a defecit either by restricting food, more exercise or combo.
'What Is The Cheapest Way of Getting Konjac Noodles and Quinoa to Lose Weight?'
Hmmm, you could try asking them nicely or perhaps point out their expanding waistlines!
Don’t buy into the hype.
The cheapest and most effective way to lose weight is to give up sugar. Sugar ruins your appetite control.
My dad lost 15kg when he gave up sugar (specifically fructose) after reading the book ‘Sweet Poison’ by David Gillespie.
