Yeah, so it's better not to be addicted to them and just have them occasionally. I heard they contain those food flavor enhancers which is really not a healthy chemical to be consumed. I know it's convenient to prepare and they come in so many different varieties, but perhaps it's better to have bread or pasta instead.

There are even cheaper than that here, like 50 cents or even less if we buy in bulk. Welcome to myLot, by the way... I hope you'll enjoy it here

At least you know it is not good to eat the instant noodles all the time. In fact I also like eating instant noodles but I will not eat it quite often. I like to change different food so that I will not be tired of eating it. Besides, it is good since it is the balanced diet.

]At one time, they were the choice for a meal because they were so cheap. I find myself buying them often, still. I am not sure why, I just really like them for lunch at times. I drain the water before I add the flavor packet and that is how I have done it for as long as I can remember. My husband recently was telling me about something he read saying that it takes two days to clear the wax out of your system that they put on them.

My husband read this article stating that they use wax to coat the noodles and on the lining of the cup for cup of noodles. I looked it up, and it is supposed to just be a rumor, according to snopes. So, no worries, other than the sodium. Enjoy!

I'm sure you're aware that those are not healthy foods. I guess it's okay to eat them once in a while, but don't make it as your staple food. Although some companies who manufacture such food claim that they are preservative free, you still can't rely on those because the still contain some chemicals that can harm your health when consumed at a large quantity. Why not try munching on fruits instead, it's healthy and is available everywhere.

Hmm i think i make it as staple food because sometime i not eat rice. I know some instant noodles contain some chemicals and can harm a health but it is difficult to stop when we very like to eat it. Yeah i like to munching on fruit but at my house it is lack of fruit.

Anything in excess will be bad, and that definitely includes instant noodles. Think of those preservatives and MSG-ladden seasonings. Maybe you should try cutting down on your intake of instant noodles. Don't get me wrong, I like instant noodles myself. Especially when I was in college, I can always rely on good old instant noodles to "nourish" me during head-splitting reviews for exams. But of course I have to restrain myself from being so addicted and dependent on it. "Real" food is still the best way to eat.

Oh dear, so sorry to say this but I really can't help. If you know that something is bad and yet you keep doing or indulging in it then how would you call yourself? If not good then avoid. If there is a will there is a way unless you don't want to regret later.

I seldom eat instant noodles now. I sometimes buy Korean ramyeon. I like shin ramyeon, jjampong, yeul ramyeon, jin ramyeon, etc. I also want to eat Japanese ramen but I only go to a Korean grocery store. Eating a lot of instant noodles is bad for our health. We should limit our noodles. It's better to eat healthy foods.

You can always throw in some of your own ingredients (e.g. vegetables, meat) to make it more nutritious. You can also buy different flavours from different brands to make it less monotonous. I like instant noodles too...but I try to limit myself to them only late at night for a quick supper when the shops are already closed.

Hi akamarukei! Yes at least you know that it is not a good habit. You can control the craving if you like. Much better if you will not buy so you cannot see anything. Have a nice day!

You shouldn't really be doing that.. It's unhealthy, and I hear instant noodles can dehydrate you as well. You can slowly start decreasing your intake little by little until you are able to control your cravings for noodles. You need to start this soon before your body exhibits alarming negative effects..

yeah, even I have these instant noodles packs all stacked up in my house, but i try to avoid it as much as it is possible for me to avoid. It is always so tempting to eat those noodles and while preparing it, i would be waiting for it to be ready soon. I can't resist long to eat it. but then, I learnt about the harm that the instant noodles cause and I have reduced its intake to a huge margin and now, hardly once in a week i eat and a few months ago, my stomach was in trouble because of too much in take of these noodles and I had stopped eating those for almost 3 months to recover completely. After recovering also, I am taking oly once in 1-2 week and still you know, i crave for the taste of these noodles, they are just to yummy to avoid them.

hi A kamarukei its the seasoning packet that makes it unhealthy so toss that as its full of chemicals and add real herbs and seasoning to it also maybe a few veggies you like and a few pieces of chicken or beef and it will be a healthy meal for you. I have diabetes so I cannot eat much rice. I am okay with most pastas. really the instant noodles themselves are not unhealthy but the seasoning packet has chemicals in it that make the dish unhealthy.

If you know that it is unhealthy, why do you do it? You really are what you eat. If you eat unhealthy foods, you will be unhealthy. Some "foods" (and I'm using that term loosely) can cause brain shrinkage (http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/30/shrinking-brains-and-silent-strokes-studied/). So, not only does eating rubbish make people fat and sick, it also makes their brains shrink.

It also like a smoking case. Why some people still smoking even they know it is not good for health. When we addicted with something it is difficult to change. I try to decrease to eating instant noodles little by little.

If you know that it is not good, then you need to cut down on eating them. I don't allow my kids to eat them as much as well. I'd rather give them rice or bread than those instant noodles.

Much better if you munch on fruits instead of those noodles. You know that anything taken in excess is bad. So keep yourself healthy all the time.

Instant noodles are really addicting because they are full of seasonings and easy to prepare. In fact, there are people who always eat it everyday. It taste good but it's like a junk food to me, so I eat them occasionally but they are regular part of the diet every month.
• Malaysia
9 Feb 13
Yeah it easy to prepare. Hmm yes it is only junk food. We need to eating a lot if we want our stomach full. I eating it not because diet but it very tasty and yummy for me. I hope i can control not to always eat it.
