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

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.

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.

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

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

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)
