Smorgasbord anyone!

Good morning and welcome to day 3 of Team Dynamix. You will probably have a few achey muscles today and will be looking forward to our foam rolling tonight. After our little discussion regarding quinoi and its effect on blood sugar I thought I would research a little further. I found some work by Anne Tourney who writes for the livestrong charity foundation, she discusses how its the qulaity of the carbohydrate thats important and states quinoi has a Glycemic Load of 13 which is considerably less than breads, pastas, potatoes and rice and due to it being high in fibre and protein offers you a lot more. I have attached the link to the article for you to enjoy. http://www.livestrong.com/article/258598-quinoa-the-glycemic-index/ Well when choosing my dinner choices last night I thought I would be inspired by my Swedish sister in law and make myself a Smorgasbord. This included chicken, salmon, peppers, cucumbers, houmous and my favourite mackarel. And to round it all off I had some watermelon. Earlier in the day I had my usual yoghurt cranberries and pumpkin seeds and for lunch I had a rather delightful butternut squash soup. I hope you are feeling a little inspired in the kitchen, if not I am willing to share my rosti resipe. Have a great day and see you at 7.30pm this evening. Anthony
