Brown rice VS White rice

[InGreatShape]

Some say that brown rice is better than white rice for slimming down. Agree or Disagree?

in reality, white rice and brown rice are close to each other on the GI index...

but of course brown rice is the better option due to white rice being bleached of its nutriants...

get used to brown rice, its going to be your best friend.

Buy a rice cooker and a 50lb bag of short grain brown rice if you can find it. You'll be surprised how long it doesn't last you.

I never have white rice unless it's my only option, and then usually only for a cheat meal. When I get some healthy-ish mexican take-out I have them leave the white rice off, then add my own brown when I get home.

Is it true the long grain white rice is almost exactly the same as brown rice?

Certain dieticians seem to think so, but I think otherwise... Plus brown rice is not bleached so you get all its nutrients unlike white rice. Bleached food is not good for your health at all, studies suggest that foods which are bleached tend to store MUCH easier in the fatty deposits, so all I got to say is stick with brown rice.
