i read an article somewhere, that even tho they look healthy they spike insulin very high. Not sure, can someone second me on that?

I believe it was mentioned somewhere on diet mm, esp. not to combine the two, although i use to do it.. and of course, while cutting, these started tasting really darn good.


It's a better choice than most, and if it fits in with YOUR goals and lifestyle, then it can be an option, although there are better ones out there ... it's a step in the right direction from the alternatives I suppose.

stay away from anpb...

I don't eat them when cutting just because I'll end up eating the whole bag. I think most are probably simple carbs and will spike your insulin, but the whole grain ones might be different. I know you can buy organic brown rice cakes (I buy ones made by lundberg). These are probably better.
