I usually mention the carrot juice at a health farm. The point I am making is if you like white rice but don't like brown then just eat smaller portions of it. If you like brown rice then OK. Your numbers are not so bad that you have to go entirely without. You have the right idea of not going hungry. Yes, if you reduce the portion of (say) rice then certainly eat more meat and veg. Personally I find that flour is the worst thing for raising blood sugar. This is mainly because there are a number of processed foods out there that have flour as a component and you may not be aware of this. You may find that the obvious ones like bread and cake can easily be cut down on.As to weight loss. I am not an expert on that but I do find the following applies to me. Eating fewer carbohydrates in my meal does not affect my weight much. If I eat things with glucose in I get heavier and when I stop I get lighter. This means that sugar, sweets, chocolate and sugary drinks will raise your weight. Since the sugar is already converted to glucose it goes straight to fat via the liver. I learned that from someone on this board. It seems to be true in my case.</blockquote>
