I would recommend that you pick-up a pressure cooker. White rice cooks in 7 minutes and brown in 14.

I REALLY dont know either, i checked ingrediants, its only brown rice, go figure, i asked a chef about it and the only dif he said was that brown rice is pre-cooked thats all. Wich yes, being cooked 2 times then might loose some nutritional value, but still minimal if any.

I hope someone can spread some real info

It is a fast carbo ... sugar.

IMO and experience, getting rid of fast carbos and replacing them with slow equals fat loss with no drop in energy or muscle.

Big colorful salad with that grilled animal flesh is the way to go.

IMO, rice is a crap carb source..heavily refined with no fiber and miniscule nutrient content. Stick to oatbran hot cereal, oatmeal and other unrefined sources.

Are you serious? you think rice is "heavily refined"? How so? Instant brown rice is no different than regular brown rice. And brown rice in general is a medium GI carb with a GI of about 55.

yeah what he said! White rice is a High GI food, no brown. I just deal with it and cook the brown rice (45 mins). I cook enough rice in 1 day to last a whole week. I have a 3:1 water to rice ratio when cooking. This creates a sticky rice, and stays soft after refrigeration. Adding low sodium chicken stock/bullion cubes adds a little flavor.
