Needing to get back on track after gaining a stone and looking to tweak my diet some more. Had a look at idaves plan which I'm already not far off except i eat rice and variations on a lentil dhal regularly. Can't think how to eat a dhal without rice. Anyone got any suggestions?

Look for bags of mixed grain/pulse stuff by Pedon in supermarkets - I've only ever found them in Tescos actually. Theres 4 or 5 varieties - they are dry but pre-cooked so that you don't need to do the soaking and boiled for ages - so they are as quick to cook as pasta
like soNot overly robust or worthy, and loads tastier than pasta or rice

I'd say Naan but thats verboeten too
I think the only answer is more dhal, which isn't a bad thing

What exactly is in that stuff, it doesn't say. All cereal grains are banned

like I say, they've got a few varieties - the links just a visual so you know what the look for on the shelf - they're difficult to spot - some are lentily, some grainy, ones got lots of quinoa in. Not sure of the full iDave forbidden list as I'm not a follower, but worth a look as a rice/pasta alternative

Quinoa?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Quinoa has recently pretty much replaced pasta & rice in our house.

Is this a GI thing?
If so does brown rice help or cous cous or bulger wheat.
If it's a gluten thing then the above might no be so good.

I walked into waitrose and bought about £20.00 worth of all different sorts of beans.
Pinto beans
borlootti beans
flageolet beans
haricot beans
aduki beans
mung beans
Pinto beans
Red kidney beans
Black-eye beans
Black turtle beansmix 'em up... some cook quicker than others so make sure you have ones that take roughly the same cooking time. Put them in to soak for 12hrs then cook 'em up and have them cold at lunchtimes with chicken /tuna, veg aything else that takes yer fancy. I do enough for about three days worth at a time.
loads quicker for me 'cause now I don't need to bother cooking rice /pasta at lunchtimes.

I'm lazy I use these, Igive them a good rinse under the tap.

the quinoa suggestion is a good one as its also a protein, but there are other grains like bulgar or even cous cous which you could uses

Is cous-cous iDave friendly then? I assumed it wasn't

My very limited understanding of this (iDave eating suggestion) is that its to eat Low GI food.
I think this is to avoid an insulin response when you eat something.
But this is the extent and the limit of my knowledge on this, IF I am correct at all (about the insulin thingy)
Surely iDave or molgrips will be along soon to set things a-right ?.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Hmmm, thats why I'm puzzled as i thought stuff like bulgar wheat was out?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I think the reason iDave chose to describe it as Low GI was that most packets have a GI rating on them, so it would be easy for people to deduce whats in and whats not.
Alternatively, I think you can get lists of GI ratings for food items on the web.
Obviously, its not practical to deal with questions for every individual food item.
Just sticking with the idea of Low GI, not over analysing it, is how I've approached it.

not over analysing it
Yeah, I reckon molgrips has taken that approach too.

yes you are probably right, in truth i should concern myself more with my alcohol intake as thats the root of my weight gain and more of an issue than whether or no i can/should eat a 55g portion of boiled rice with my dhal! : (

I know what you mean, same for me, I like a pint or two.

I'm much more into a 2009 vintage tbh.
How was the footy yesterday?
Posted 6 months ago # -
Poor on the whole.
Vermaelen scored 2 excellent goals. Shame one was in his own net.
Seats were quite good as well:
Plus point was the Korean style Bul-go-gi BBQ steak baguettes outside the ground. Teriyaki sauce and mayonnaise are strange, but delicious, bedfellows.

Ah well, food is better than footy anyhow.
