Eat a big portion of Quinoa (pronounced kin-wa)
Though you will probably find it in the isle with rice and other grains, it is technically NOT a grain. It is in the spinach family, though I personally think that what little taste it has on its own, is slightly like corn.
It looks like parakeet seed when raw, but cooks in boiling water like rice or couscous, and fluffs up. You can add whatever spices you like to flavor it up. Personally I like to add sauteed onions.
THE CHOCHMA OF IT IS THAT IT HAS AN E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y LOW Glycemic index, which means IT RELEASES CARBS (I.E. ENERGY) INTO YOUR SYSTEM V-E-R-Y, V-E-R-Y SLOWLY! This means it is GREAT before a fast.
I highly recommend it!
By the way, it can also be eaten for breakfasts as a hot cereal, with fruit and/or sweetener of your choice added.
Very healthy, very tasty, very good before a fast or any time.
