I know Brown Rice is ALOT better. But I'm curious to see who eats White Rice? If so, has it made a big difference in your physique?

Diesel, I like your idea of adding lemon juice to your rice. I might try it. What else do you add to it to spruce up the taste?

I don't think that White Rice is really that bad for you. If you have Protein with the rice, which you should, it will significantly lower the insulin response.

Hmmm... That's interesting! Most guys I speak to think White Rice has the same GI level of Dextrose or something. LOL! They avoid it like the plague!!!

Hey!
I use long grain parboiled rice, It's soemwhat "harder" and takes a bit longer to cook. It's very very good with a GI 68, compared to white bread as GI 100.
Rice is good stuff, and I like the parboiled long grain better than the brown rice. Just make sure you don't boil it for a very long time.
I've noticed better gains when I eat lots of rice, this is because I won't get as full(very little fibers that will fill you up compared to something like oatmeal), and therefor I can eat more often and eat more protein per meal without getting stomachproblems. Stomachproblems like gas and pain are related to many things. People often think they get pain because of a high protein intake but there are a few more things you would have to think of. If you eat big ampounts of protein with carbs that are very slow GI, like oatmeal going thru your "system" very slowly, this will make you gas more likely bacause of the fact you will go to the toilet more seldom. If you eat carbs that are a bit faster, like rice and that do not have the sticky stuff that comes out from the fibers in oatmeal, ths will allow you to eat more protein without the gas and stomachproblems.
I have a very slow stomach and If I eat to much of slow carbs like oatmeal with high amounts of protein I get lots of problems.

So what's considered "instant"? Can I tell by the nutritional info if the rice I'm buying is the super-bad stuff? I use brown rice that comes in bags that cook in 10 mins.

to big amount of slow GI(with the sticky shit comming out from the fibers, like with oatmeal) I get this with. This thing can be even more complicated if you drink lots of coffee, or if you are sensitive to coffee as it reduces water in you body. This can infact get you some gas problems.
My tip to you would be to drink more water, go to the toilett if you need it and if you ccan't because of constipation, then drink even more water per day. To much fibers can make you constipated, but only if you eat the "glue" fiber foods like oatmeal(heated and the glue will zipp out), with to little water. Lots of fibers are ofcourse healty, but you need to up on the water.

I was asking because I've been trying to increase my carbs (I've been on a cyclical low carb diet for comp), and I started eating oatmeal and 4 egg whites in the morning. I've been having problems ever since. I do drink a gallon - gallon 1/2 of water a day, and don't have these types of issues when I eat protein and fat. Maybe I should just eat my oatmeal without protein.
JJfigure,
I actually had to drop the oatmeal from my diet because of that. It just didn't move right through me. I've noticed that my body does not deal with fiber that well, and it definately makes me FAR from regular.
I never seemed to have any problems till I started loading in the fiber.
I'm back to no extra fiber through out the day, and I'm ok again.

So, Mr X....
.... why do you rate brown rice as one of your favourite carb sources, when long-grain white rice has a lower GI?

that's about it… sometimes I throw feta cheese in there too.
Fat free yogurt mixed in is good with rice too. You could add fat free yogurt and the lemon. That would taste good
I always thought white rice was super high GI, never knew it was only the instant one. Either way i like brown or wite rice.

Mr.X, so it's OK to eat White Rice just as long as it's long grain White Rice, right?
In general, long grain rice is lower GI than short grain. Slightly undercooked rice is lower GI than over cooked. "Parboiled" rice (such as Uncle Ben's) is consistenly lower GI than other more traditional rices. Sushi has a GI of around 50% (on the glucose scale), and brown rice is not necessarily lower GI than many white rices, but it has fiber and vitamins that are not found in white rice. The lowest GI rice you can eat is called "high amylose". If you're worried about GI, then I recommend you stick with the high amylose white rice and don't overcook it. Adding vinegar or lemon juice (such as found in sushi) will also lower the GI of your rice.
