Is this the most disgusting health advice ever? Home cook torn to shreds over 'healthy' alternative to pasta and noodles
A home cook has been slammed by hundreds for sharing a 'disgusting' low-carb alternative to noodles or pasta.
The man behind the 'Keto Diet & Low-Carb Recipes' Facebook page boasted about finding the 'miracle' dish having been on a keto diet for more than three years.
The home cook sliced a Guerrero low-carb tortilla, poured boiling water over the top then drained it to make low-carb soggy 'noodles'.
But the simple meal left others gagging with one labelling it as an 'abomination' and another declaring it as the 'worst thing they've ever seen'.
Each tortilla contains 2g of carbs, high fibre, no sugar or fat and 50 calories - far less compared to pasta or noodles.

'Never have I ever dreamed of eating real noodles on keto. Three plus years and I've just discovered this miracle,' the post read.
After sharing the method he wrote: 'Whala, fresh noodles. I added some butter, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt and pepper. I feel like I am straddling two worlds.'
Without context the food looks like a sad, bland plate of pasta that's been lightly seasoned.
The recipe was laughed at by other home cooks who were left in disbelief.

'This is an abomination, started with putting water on bread then ended with "whala",' one wrote.
'There absolutely no way you think this is better than having a serving of pasta,' another said.
A third said soggy tortillas are never a noodle replacement. Another agreed and said: 'Definitely one of the nastiest things that's ever come across.'
'Real pasta won't kill you, moderation is key,' someone else added.
'Babe I know you aren't convincing yourself that this is good… let alone a sustainable form of nutrition,' one more wrote.
Others questioned the meaning of 'whala' and pondered if the home cook meant 'viola'.
'White people would say 'whala' then eat wet bread,' one said.
'I don't know what's worse, wet bread or whala. This would be a reason to just end my life,' another added.
Though one more pointed out: 'Whalla with two L's means 'swear to God' in Arabic, so maybe they meant 'swear to God, fresh noodles'. Might be a stretch, but its possible.'
