    What Do You Think About Slim Rice? Empty What Do You Think About Slim Rice?

    Post by Jan1 Tue Apr 14 2015, 18:03

    You may have already seen this post on the Low Carb Diabetic Blog - it was posted up earlier because 'Slim Rice' is again being advertised quite a lot on UK TV. I wonder if it's being advertised elsewhere too?

    Anyway I've copied what Eddie said back in February 2013 about this product - but now in 2015 would you give it a try?

    "Slim Rice has been in the news again recently so it may be worthwhile to read this post Eddie originally put on the blog in February 2013 - don't think anything has changed, do you?

    Slim Rice more crap no one needs !

    I once read ‘never over estimate the intelligence of the general public‘. If this Slim Rice takes off I will be amazed, but I have been wrong before. It’s amazing what people will try when it comes to losing weight. You could fill a book with the crazy diets people have tried over the years and almost all do not work. Countless books and a zillion products, most totally useless. I may be late in discovering this new wonder product, this is what the manufacturers say.

    “The Slim foods range contains 0g of almost all nutrition, and it is free from Gluten. It is an amazing food for Coeliacs, Diabetics and for those wanting to Lose Weight or Maintain their Weight. Let's take Slim Pasta Penne for example, it contains 100% less net calories, 100% less Carbohydrates, 100% less Sugar, 100% less Gluten and 100% less Saturated Fat than wheat pasta, yet Slim Pasta will keep you feeling full for up to 4 hours. And as for the nutrition, it comes from the sauces and ingredients that you add to it.”

    So, the slim food range contains ‘Slim foods range contains 0g of almost all nutrition’ think about that, how can you call a product food and boast nil nutrition ! How about this ‘The Slim foods range comes prepared as a tasteless food, because it gets its flavours from the sauces/ingredients that you add to it.’ No folks it’s not April Fools Day. Some of you old timers may remember The Pet Rock craze, believe it or not for those too young to remember, people paid good money for a rock, gave it a pets name, then brought accessories for their new pet. And people say I am crazy, maybe, but not crazy enough to buy this crap. BTW check out the website address eat water LOL.

    A little tip, try cauliflower rice it’s great and guess what, it’s highly nutritious and it is real food, and you guessed it, it’s a lot cheaper. "

    Slim Rice, which comes already cooked, is made up of 97 per cent water and the Asian root konjac.

    ...... I think bean sprouts would be a healthier alternative!

    Another processed meal made with 'edible' slake lime. It's not a food, it's a food substitute. Evil or Very Mad

    PS I don't like rice much anyway, so I won't be tempted by this. Rolling Eyes

    Good for you but take things steady - do you need any recipe ideas i.e. the cauliflower rice or similar. I'm sure we could all help out with ideas, suggestions.

    All the best Jan.

    I'll have a look around the forum first and then ask if there's anything I can't manage lol. There will be! I have seen lots of recipes I fancy here, I've just never got around to making them. Now I feel different. Now I'm worth the effort. Smile

    For a curry,I just grate the Cauliflower using a cheese grater (Thickest grating side) and then fry it up in the frying pan in Coconut oil with some cumin seeds,fennel seeds,turmeric,coriander leaf,a dash of ground cinnamon and some crushed cardamom pods for a few minutes-tastes good! Smile
