Quinoa?

[gbrice75]

I've never had it, but read that it's a complete protein source, and a high fiber complex carb grain. Does anybody here have experience with it? Is the taste decent? I would love to use this instead of the beans i've been using which are incomplete protein.

Yea its great for you! My wife had to really experiment with recipes before she found one that I liked. Not that tasty on its own!

It's incredibly healthy and yes, it is a complete protein. The taste is very foreign. Similar to lentils crossbred with couscous. In terms of texture, it's not like anything else I can think of off the top of my head. I like to simmer it w/ chicken stock and herbs, just like couscous and pour seasoned meat/veg/sauce over it. Think beef stew or something.

Thanks guys, I can't wait to try and expirment with it!

@MG - what's up bro!! It's going ok I guess - this is week 3 and i'm starting to notice a slight change, and weight on the scale has started to drop. However, I do feel weaker in the gym; i'm hoping that's due to the lower carbs and NOT to muscle loss. I had to drop from 2000 cal/day to about 1850 as I wasn't seeing any difference whatsoever after 2 weeks. I'm planning on posting pics after 1 month... i'm still keeping the dream alive bro, I want your abs! =)

It takes a few months depending on how much cardio you're doing. As long as you stay vigilant, you'll look in the mirror one day soon and be like, "damn, I'm there".
