Weight Loss Natural Remedies | Kill The Carbs - Sunfood

 Cut out the Carbs

It’s no secret that processed carbs (bad carbs) should be avoided—they're loaded with empty calories, extra sugar and can lead to unwanted weight gain. Unfortunately, common foods we crave such as noodles and bread are two of the biggest leading bad carb culprits.

To make matters even trickier, so many people are avoiding gluten these days, which of course tends to pervade our carb-laden favorites. But don’t worry! Breaking up with your carb-rich, glutinous entrée is much easier, and tastier than you may think.
 
We’ve been on the search for nutritious, scrumptious “no-no” food replacements, and finally, two of the most revered comfort foods have a healthy alternative!


 

Kelp Noodles: Hasta la Pasta

I have spent a few years looking for a good gluten free pasta/noodle/anything that had a good texture and held up well through cooking and tossing with a sauce. No matter what I tried, rice, buckwheat, bean noodles... Each and every one of them broke apart and/or turned to mush by the time they reached my plate. These kelp noodles are exactly what I had been imagining all along, and the fact that they do not require cooking is such a bonus!” – Elizabeth

“YUM! We loved that we didn't need any preparation, and that these have virtually no calories, but so much nutrition! We ordered 2 pounds and ate them all right away!! We rolled them up with avocado in the nori sheets we also got here-mmm! So incredible, I recommend these to everyone. My favorite "pasta”! Definitely ordering more!” – Britany and Peter

To make the most of these delicious noodles, an explosively flavorful recipe was born - Raw Kelp Noodle Pad Thai. We were blown away by the flavor packed into this recipe—even non-raw foodies were impressed! Try it out for yourself!


 

Coconut Wraps: Bread is Dead

Super thin and packed with amazing flavor, our coconut wraps are free of added salt, preservatives, grains, dairy or soy. They’re a healthy and mouthwatering way to make a variety of raw dishes such as burritos, wraps and sushi.

Wrap with your favorite raw veggies like avocado, tomato or lettuce, or experiment with various spreads like hummus to make a healthy snack anytime! Try these scrumptious Quick and Easy Wraps!

“I had to wait for these wraps to come back in stock again, now I see why. They are so good. I ate them right out of the plastic. I love coconut and they have a great flavor. You can use them to make fruit wraps as well for a sweet delicious snack. I will definitely be purchasing them again.” – Ariel
 
“I just made a raw taco using these wraps! Made the "taco meat" using walnuts and spices, put some avocado mayo on the wrap and added romaine, red/green pepper and tomatoes! Awesome!” – Kim
