Speaking of shirataki noodles

As a lot of you know I'm always watching out for running
scientific research trials on exercise and low-carb. But
while looking through the volunteer listings in Craigslist
NYC I came upon a listing that claimed to be from a popular
women's magazine looking for women who wanted to lose weight
and wouldn't mind being track and reported. The interesting
part of the listing was that they wanted the women to use
glucomannan to aid them in their weight loss.

That make me look into what glucomannan is and how its used.
What a lot of people here might find interesting is that
shirataki noodles are made mostly out of glucomannan. The
research that I've found so far was done on a very limit
numbers of subjects, but the outcome was interesting. If
you read through the Wikipedia page check out the External
link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucomannan.

Personally, I've decided to try the supplement to see if it
could help in reducing my late night hunger. Also, even
though my cholesterol is in good shape, my intake is
probably low in water soluble fiber. Has anyone else use
glucomannan?

My family had early dinners and then always ate right before going to bed.
Even after all these years, its very difficult for me to go to sleep at
night if I have the slightest sense of hunger. I've learned to have high
fiber (Al Bran) or dense protein (a small amount of chicken breast) if I'm
feeling hungry late at night. But I'd like to de-program my late evening
eating.

This is an issue for me also. The closer I get to bedtime, the more I want
carbs. It is the only time that I actively want carbs. Usually I'll eat
one Triscuit with a big glob of cream cheese or peanut butter on it, that's
all it takes...but, like you, I want to de-program that. If you have any
success with that, I hope you'll share .
