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

[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)

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

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.

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.

what resturants serves wheat pasta? none!

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.

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?
