Hi All,
I have been trying to lose body fat, have almost eliminated 'white' carbs from diet (I still have some 2-3 times per wk, but small doses. Changed my food protein sources to mostly tuna, chicken and eggs. I was wondering about hard tofu (or any tofu I guess) as another alternative for protein - just to mix it up. What's the view on tofu? Quinoa is gaining notoriety as a 'super-food' being high in protein, gluten free and as is a seed, not a grain, should be low to zero carbs?
A lot of debate about soy (especially for men) ... I don't have any soy (i'm a gal) as it upsets my stomach. If you have soy, maybe don't overdo it.
Quinoa, though is fantastic. It's got a lot of protein, some healthy fats, lots of iron and other nutrients and is lower in carb than grains for sure. you can use it as you would rice pretty much. Also great in salads ... really good with tuna if you want to boost your meals.
Not scared of carbs (white or otherwise). Seeing how my body reacts to getting carbs from different sources. Actually not missing them as much as I thought.
