Wait ! Why Am I Eating Brown Rice ?!!??!

[VictorBR]

SHIT

I eat this thing because it was suposed to a carb source with LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX . Now I found that PASTA ( spaguetti and fettutine ) actually have a LOWER glycemix index than brown rice .

From now on , I will only eat PASTA . I hate brown rice , I almost puke every time I eat this thing .

Look at 2 different GI lists and you'll see different results

WW pasta and brown rice have about the same GI
Don't be anal

Take whatever you prefer

I know alot of people probably don't mix carbs and fat in the same meal when cutting, but I've found a great way to eat brown rice. Just take a tbsp. of olive oil and mix it in with a half cup of rice along with some garlic and maybe a few other herbs. Tastes great and it's easy to make.

your bowels will be pleased, it's all about keeping them happy

I'm not a big fan of grains, I feel better when I restrict them in my diet. I have oat bran hot cereal daily but most of my carbs come from fruits and vegetables. Although, I do occasionally have pasta as my postworkout meal.

 

[georgie24]

its impossible to get a healthy portion of pasta if you order out. they give you like 2 pounds of spagehhti per serving lol

 

[maccer]

look at teh respective calories, pasta holds loads plus its more processed then brown rice!!! If you are cutting with carbs then brown rice is usually preferable I thought

 

[chewyxrage]

like anthrax once told me

it ain't nothin' but a fiber thang.........

 

[bran987]

I thought brown rice was unprocessed and pasts was highly processed?????????

no?

no?

Brown rice is almost always unprocessed (except pre-cooked in-the-bag brown rice)

As for pasta, yopu can find the better ( whole wheat "natural" pasta) and the worse (refined flour + a shit load of other ingredients)

 

[ProtienFiend]

ive been preaching this for a while... rice in general isnt a good carb except maybe post workout (dextrose is much easier on my stomach then though)

 

[georgie24]

we need a refresher list of GOOD CARBS to eat while cutting.

 

[poopmonkey]

When you eat fat and carbs together, it slows the digestion of the carbs down a bit, which might account for the lower GI of pasta.

But just because it's digesting slower, doesn't mean its good for you.

yup, you gets no fiber in spaghetti

 

[dirty~d~]

Mmmm, wasabi in brown rice. I've never thought of that one. Thanks.

 

[young guns]

yup, you gets no fiber in spaghetti

in whole wheat spaghetti you do.

and i abandoned brown rice a long time ago. i eat long grain basmati rice. tastes a hell of alot better and it's actually lower GI than brown rice.

 

[georgie24]

what resturants serves wheat pasta? none!

How long have you been eatinf mainly fruits & veggies as a carb source? and what difference has it made to your physique and energy levels?

 

[EL GAUCHO]

Where's all this GI business come from then? I thought brown rice was the best?

 

[young guns]

i've never seen any that serve brown rice either.

[Trickie]

It should say wholemeal on it.

 

[ProtienFiend]

the fruit/veggie guy has got the right idea...

some chinese do

Yes, that's not that good

microwaveable = higher GI

 

[tical]

basmati rice does taste better than brown rice, cooks faster too... pretty damn close to white rice

mix in some olive oil and garlic mMmm
