17. Shirataki Noodles

Healthline

Shirataki noodles have recently been on the rise as a substitute for the usual starchy pasta noodles that are normally full of gluten. Not only are they great for weight management and diabetes, they are also high in glucomannan fiber, which is an extract of konjac root. Grown in Japan, this plants is processed and shaped into either noodles or rice. Since glucomannan is a viscous fiber, it leaves you feeling fuller and more satisfied for longer periods of time as well. A study also found that this type of fiber managed to reduce levels of fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, and serum insulin in diabetic rats.
