The fiber you are right helps to slow down digestion and makes you feel fuller longer. What actually happens is that quinoa releases its energy slower for a longer time. This avoids sugar spikes (which trigger fat creation) and also helps avoid cravings (because your body has a steady stream of energy). Using quinoa as a base in a variety of recipes helps not to get tired of it. We have even gone to the extent of mixing it with brown rice (or in pizzas!)
