It's easy to fall into the wake of events and vacations, eating too much, especially carbs. Even if you return to your normal life, you may have trouble resetting it. I have a habit of eating until I'm full, so I can't reduce it ...

One idea is to replace the staple food with "vegetable noodles," which are noodles made from vegetables. While controlling the sugar, the satisfaction of eating noodles is maintained. By hand-making, you can also get the nutrition unique to fresh vegetables. Here are two items for veggie noodles that I once introduced at Enuchi.

■ Veggie Noodle Cutter (OXO)


A product of the American household goods brand "OXO". A cutter is attached to the cylindrical container, and you can sharpen carrots and cucumbers like a spaghetti like a pencil sharpener.




If you put on the dressing as it is, it tastes like a salad. If you heat it in the microwave, it will soften, and if you roll it like noodles, it will be easier to eat. It is available on mail-order sites, and the selling price (tax included) is about 2,600 yen. In addition to this, OXO is developing a product called "Triple Veggie Noodle Cutter" with many blade attachments.


■ Noodle peeler (100 yen shop)


Similar to the "Veggie Noodle Cutter" mentioned above, this peeler can be used to cut vegetables into noodles. You can make noodles such as carrots and zucchini in the same way as a pencil sharpener.


It's a cheap item for 100 yen (excluding tax), but the sharpness is quite good. It is a great value item that even beginners of veggie noodles can easily try.


In addition to this, various companies are developing cutters and peelers for veggie noodles. Elongated cut vegetables can be used not only as a staple food, but also for salads, marinades, stir-fried vegetables, etc., so why not try one?
