If it was low GI i would consider it, otherwise i see no reason...

Princess, you seem to know your stuff about food, maybe you can give me some links or some info about how to lower the insulin response to a meal, or about low GI food.
( i dont need another GI index, i can find those myself, just some more detailled info).
I eat a lot of bread, and a lot of carbs too. I'm thinking about saving my insulin peaks for post-workout...

Wouldnt it automatically be low GI because of the high fiber content?

It will fall on the lower end of the GI table.  Remember that when you mix food, say eating quinoa with chicken and a little oil the GI goes down.  You always have to consider the other foods that you are mixing.

  I'm glad people are starting to realize there's more involved than the GI of the carb itself.  Here's some great information.

  It's considered a complete protein (unlike other grains, seeds, nuts, etc).  Plus it could offer some variety to the diet.  There's more to having variety than just taking the bordem away.  It's a natural way to get a variety of vitamins and minerals.[/color]
