i have been on a well known balanced diet plan, and putting on weight following eating couscous !
I have just introduced couscous because it is filling and supposed to be a diet option that is really filling.
I should add that this week i have been diagnosed as DIABETIC with an unusual glucose result on a fasting diet. I think that has something to do with the combination of carbs and glucose, and may be behind my weight gains with couscous.
how often did u eat Couscous? How much did u eat? all about portion sizes. How many carbs are u allowed in a day? couscous is a pasta. Pasta is a Carb. Carbs turn to Sugar. I have found for myself the best way to go is more proteins,veggies, keep blood sugar stable all day.
no - if it's not a special product. cuscus is made from samolina which contain guten.
What is the correct etiquette for eating couscous since it falls through gaps in a fork?
You can simply eat it with a spoon.
No couscous is from North Africa particularly Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. The word applies both to the seed like pasta which is steamed over the meat stew that it is served with and the whole dish. It would probably be very popular in Afghanistan as it can be made to be Halal.
