Hi,
Has anyone eaten quinoa or pearl barley on LCHF?
Does this spike glucose badly?
Nicki - The best thing you can do is try it and see what happens. If you test before you eat, then two hours after your meal, you'll soon see if you can tolerate it or not.
We're all different and some can eat stuff others just can't, so it really isn't a one-size fits all thing.
Also, if you do see a big number on your meter, it'll likely help with any craving you might have had - a bit like aversion therapy! (Sorry, I'm smiling when I type that last bit.
)
