    No such thing as a good carb and a bad carb. All carbs are converted the same way. That being said Quinoa is great.

    It's a complex carb so gets digested slowly and has a low GI meaning it makes you feel fuller for longer and doesn't spike your blood sugar. It's a great alternative to rice, pasta and can be added to most things.
