I'm tired of the "fat is bad" comments.
This recipe is designated for a Ketogenic diet (low carbs, high fats). Ask your doctor about it...or google shit. Whatever.

[melissainfj]

Ok, to all the people complaining that there is no flour, or that this his "high fat/calorie", let me explain something--- This is LOW Which means you DO NOT use starch! Starch is flour, potato, corn, rice, etc. So no, its not going to have flour. Get over it. Now as for the high fat/calorie thing.... You DO NOT count "fat" or "calories" on a low carb diet. You count CARBS. Low carb diets usually are high in fat and calories, but that doesn't matter because once again, that's not what you are focusing on, you are focusing on (say it with me, children) CARBS! Normally, your body burns sugar for energy. But when you switch to a low carb diet, your body starts burning FAT for energy. So the extra fat here won't really be a problem. Finally, people DO lose a lot of weight successfully on low carb diets, if they do it properly (watching their portions). Their cholesterol and blood pressure actually goes DOWN. You can eat higher calorie foods and still lose weight, if you stick to low carb rules. So... Please stop talking about the fat and calories. For the um-teenth time, they don't matter nearly as much on low carb diets.

Obviously it's not gonna have flour in it, guys. It's supposed to be low-carb.

[cloroxmilkshake]

Guys calm down. This is recipe is meant for a Ketogenic diet which is low carbs and high fat intake.

[Jace_traumerei]

>Implying flour isn't just pure carbs.

Loling at these comments. I'm just happy to find something I could cook for my diabetic father.

[hollyvictoria]

People complain his videos are too unhealthy. He makes a healthy video. People still complain. Some people are jus always hating gosh this is a food channel why so much hate

[abcw]

The people in these comments are hilarious.

"THIS IS HIGH FAT."

Uh-huh. Keto diets are intentionally high fat. You can't reduce fat AND carbohydrate intake to nothingness. In other words, if you give up one macronutrient (fat), you have to make it up somewhere else (carbohydrates). Keto is the inverse. You reduce carbohydrates and therefore up fat intake to get the energy you need. Protein is the pivot.

If keto dieters didn't consume high levels of fat, they would waste away and feel sick. Fat is *must* to survive on so few carbohydrates.

So, if you're watching your fat, you're probably eating a lot of carbs, and this recipe isn't for you. If you're keto, this recipe is for you - but add in a fatty sauce.

why do i always watch this kida stuff when im fasting

[polyfoxgames]

Thank you, pls make more low carb recipes

[zerbozomeowington]

I'm happy this is a thing because I have a friend who's grandfather can't have too many carbs so I sent this to her and she's overly happy because you just somewhat saved her grandfathers life ❤️

To make this work, it is essential to leave noodles in fridge for 4 hours or over night

[FreeBird_]

I tried this tonight and it was delicious. The look, taste and texture was that of egg noodles after it was boiled. However, I found it easier to remove the parchment paper and slice the cheese into strips after taking it out of the fridge.

[ChibiNinjaMiko]

I'm so glad you posted this as I have been trying to find a low carb substitute for pasta. I'll have to try this. Being on a low carb diet is not fun when you want pasta and rice.

[Jaime]

thats just cheese an egg, tomatoes and more cheese

[FeastUK]

This is not really tasty, it's an impasta

[LiiKeXLoVE]

for real you guys, this stuff is delicious :) if you're doing keto etc, this is a lifesaver :D

[aishwaryaanand]

I'm wondering how would it taste??

[nisathomas]

Did they just make pasta out of cheese and an egg fr fr 💀 how tf...

[minjeemunjee]

I made this and as expected the cheese melted and completely lost its "pasta"-like form into a melted ball of cheese when I put it in boiling water for 1 min

[shannonward]

It looks like pasta and probably tastes delicious, especially with tomato sauce to complement the cheese
