Hi! I have just started the Fast 800 diet and have been using recipes from the book to find my feet. There is a recipe for spicy chicken and lentils, which uses 200g green lentils. Does anyone know if it would be OK to swap them with barley instead? I know barley has a low GI, but am not sure if it’s suitable for the diet. Any help would be appreciated!

HI there, check out the nutritional data on this page. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/recipe/1222636/0

They are quite different and go well together but you can eat any food you like within reason the recipes are examples, I have never used any of them, yet. Once you start to study what is in the foods you et you will become quite expert in a short time. Mr Google has been asked about this before. Good luck and happy eating and cooking…
