QUINOA - Low Carb? No Carb? Doctor clears up misconception about Carbohydrates in Quinoa.

[@TheHabitsDoctor]

Do leave a comment / feedback below! I made this video because I often encounter people telling me, 'Doc, I'm cutting down on (or avoiding) carbs, that is why I am now taking quinoa' and when I tell them that there is still a significant amount of carbs in quinoa, many would actually be very surprised and would reply me saying, 'I thought quinoa has no carbs! I was told quinoa is protein!' So that is why I made this video is to clear up this misconception about Quinoa - that it is zero or very low in carbohydrates. Quinoa is Not NO Carbs, and May Not even be 'LOW' Carbs depending on how one defines low carb - is the only point I intended to make in this video I would cover other aspects of quinoa, including its Glycemic Index and how it compares with rice and other grains in my other videos on Quinoa. Thanks for dropping by my channel Blessings Doc

First time I’m cooking quinoa today so it’s nice to watch your video while I’m making low carb magic in my kitchen :) thank you

[@blueeyes3542]

The main point is not whether it has carbs or not..it has carbs but the fiber makes it have a lower glycemic index than rice...that is what matters

Quinoa is low carb than rice but it has carbs too if you can't live without rice make sure you have small amount only and have nake sure you have low sugar if you want to eat rice. I already had a stroke mild stroke and only 38 years old my last meal is rice soup that is my last eat of white rice everyone said that I will have a hard time avoiding rice because I am still young but thanks to videos like this I properly lower my A1c to 5.7 not to low but that is okay to my doc he is very happy

[@jbmirabile-caruso6323]

Quinoa has less carbs than white rice, but the central point that our Doctor is missing is the higher amount of FIBER that Quinoa has and plays a huge difference in comparison to white rice. Also - and this has been acknowledged by our Doctor - Quinoa has a complete protein, a very important factor in the comparison with white rice.

There is a cost factor. 1 pound brown rice, $.75. 1 pound quinoa, $3. May be impt for some.

Yes, but are there healthier carbs in Quinoa? I use Organic and that way I know I'm not getting tons of glyphosate (round up) in my food.

Yes, all plant-based food has carbohydrates, it is a matter of difference in types and quantity of carbohydrates that it contains. Thanks for dropping by my channel and leaving a comment, much appreciated. Cheers!

[@luddity]

@@TheHabitsDoctor Fiber is a carb technically, but non-glycemic. It's helpful to distinguish carbs that raise insulin from those that don't. Quinoa has both.

So quinoa dose make fat right?

[@briantan2963]

Doctor, I seen many people and online articles demonizing Keto diet, and saying that we humans need carbohydrates and is an essential macronutrients for the body. Is this true?

[@TheHabitsDoctor]

Because of my work, I interact with many many people with very strong views of specific diets, some champion keto diet, others whole foods plant based diets and others intermittent fasting. When one approaches the choice of diet for health as a DEBATE instead of a balanced DISCUSSION of all available known information/studies of the diets, it can get very muddy and becomes more unhelpful than helpful. I am personally very mindful and careful about not adding to the confusion. Therefore, I prefer not to discuss specific diets or dietary topics in detail unless it can be done comprehensively, in context and with the necessary caveats explained carefully. So I apologise for not answering your seemingly 'simple' questions about keto and carbohydrates directly and specifically, because answering it with a overly simplistic Yes or No, without giving enough background info, putting it in the right context and with the adequate caveats, may inadvertently cause more confusion, and even more harm than good ....... When I have the time, I might do a more comprehensive video on them. My apologies again for not answering your question specifically and directly. Cheers, The long-winded Doc

If your weight loss strategy involves going low carb, you just treat quinoa the way you would treat rice. The point of this video is that one can just swap out rice with quinoa and thereby go low carb.

Good info, and thanks doc. Is quinoa gluten free?

[@TheHabitsDoctor]

Quinoa is naturally gluten-free, but for people who needs to totally avoid gluten, they should be aware that many grains may be processed in factories that may also process other foods with gluten and hence there might be a risk of contamination with gluten.

[@luddity]

Yes. Gluten is only found in cereal grains, not pseudograins like quinoa or buckwheat or millet.

I came to know about quinoa only after opening this video. I have a couple of curiosities. Is it tasteful, similar to rice? Is it available everywhere, like in Nepal? What is the cost difference, is it cheaper than rice or costlier than rice?

[@ShrinidhiKulkarni]

It is tasty and has a mild aroma when cooked. It may be available in supermarkets. Its definitely costlier than rice in India. But can replace rice in curd rice or can be made into quinoa upma etc.

I was excited to try quinoa but then I heard from Dr. Gundry that it is horrible.

[@brucetownsend691]

It’s not horrible, you just need to know how to prepare it. Personally, I would not want it just plain, like a bowl of rice on its own. Mostly it gets added to things like tossed salads or mixed in to rice dishes the way one can add wild rice, black rice etc.

[@SamanthaSweetAnne]

@@brucetownsend691 Thank you. I just researched it. I'll have to soak it for a day or two then.

[@kuneho3708]

WORSE, I met people that think quinoa is protein.. they argue that it is not carbohydrates...

[@Grace-fc8zx]

Where or how is your research done. People prefer quinoa over rice because of its lower content of calories compared to rice. There are so many varieties of rice. Take your best low caloried rice and compare it quinoa.

[@lesleyhinsdale5636]

I bought quinoa because of the protein Zbut mainly because of the amount of POTASSIUM!! We need potassium OfC Thanks doc

[@dj-fe4ck]

Quinoa is very high carb, and that's a good thing. The more carbs from whole foods the better. I eat 400-800 grams of carbs a day and very little fat, no more than 10-15% of my caloric intake, and my a1c was 4.6 on my last test. It has never been over 5.2. Too much fat is the cause of insulin resistance, not carbs. The more carbs and the less fat the better.

[@Romanlove11]

Opposite. Carbs is sugar, and sugar is glucose which is tied to insulin. Please cite your sources because no science I’ve ever seen supports what you’re saying. I’m interested if what you’re saying is true, but sounds like total bs
