[QUOTE="Thirsty, post: 77398, member: 1270"] I find it irritating that the more fanatical low-carbers overstate their case. It's been claimed many times here that starchy foods like white rice, pasta and potatoes convert 100% to glucose when digested. This simply isn't true, as all contain some dietary fibre. It's certainly the case that you'll be better off choosing brown Basmati rice, wholewheat pasta and leaving the skins on spuds but [i]small[/i] portions of the more highly processed foods aren't likely to kill you anytime soon. Oh, and DaddyNoLC, I know what you mean about the bad breath problem; my wife started sleeping on the sofa during my brief flirtation with the Atkins diet! [/QUOTE]
