couscous
I just ates some couscous totally fooled by how "clean" it looked. I'm cuttin and i guess this was pretty stupid. What I'm asking is this; is couscous roughly on the same page as oatmeal or is it more like pasta? I'm trying to stick to clean, slow burning carbs today.

Couscous has a GI anywhere from 58-69 depending on what type (ie morrocan). Definitely stick to oats. I have a small box of couscous that I bought, thinking it would be good for me, until I learned about GI. I have yet to touch the couscous...

Hmm....The GI must really depend on how it's cooked. The Glycemic Index website doesn't list it as being in the 80's. Interesting.
