[QUOTE="AliB, post: 90420, member: 16907"] You really need to test it with different meals - no-one usually eats rice on its own - except perhaps as rice cakes (if you are one of the probably extremely few who eat a rice cake on its own :? ). It is true that the amount of fat in a meal will slow the uptake of the carbs and consequent spike, but I would still tend to confine the rice to a small portion because it can still contribute to weight gain, should that be a problem. That is why making things yourself is helpful because then you know what has gone into the meal and may have more idea on how it affects you. Personally I prefer brown rice. I love the nutty taste and texture and that doesn't raise the blood sugar nearly as rapidly as the white polished processed stuff that has had all the goodness removed from it! I prefer to give that a wide berth and don't even mention the 'easy-cook' rubbish. On the very rare occasion I have had that it sticks in my throat and gives me raging indigestion so what the heck they do to it I shudder to think! Most packaged foods that come with rice seem to be accompanied by that and it is gross. I don't buy, or eat, hardly anything that has been commercially manufactured any more and am a lot better for it. [/QUOTE]
