Hi tunaboy
Did you watch the TED video that janieg listed above? (the 3rd link) - good info on carbs, glucose and the diabetes connection.

Your rice and sweet potatoes do really bad things to me blood sugar wise, and my screening numbers are normal. If you're idiopathic, just be careful.

In addition to or in lieu of the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, you can also get an inexpensive meter at Walgreens or wherever and start checking your postprandial (post meal) blood sugar yourself. You'll learn pretty quickly if you have abnormal spikes and stay elevated too long.

You can switch to brown rice.... it is a better and lower glycemic form for those who might have pre-diabetes.

Swinging high to low with high glycemic carbs, is very triggering for some people who are on the path to type II diabetes.

Diabetes remains one of the most common triggers for PN.

I don't do it often anymore, but when I eat rice, I eat wild rice which isn't really rice at all I've recently learned. It has a lower glycemic index than brown rice and a little more protein. I avoid white rice like the plague now.

In case anyone is interested in a comparison:

Carbs per 1 C cooked:

White - 53
Brown - 46
Wild - 35

Glycemic Load

White - 30
Brown - 22
Wild - 16


From: http://nutritiondata.self.com/foods-...000000000.html

Definition of Glycemic Load: http://nutritiondata.self.com/help/e...-glycemic-load

I hate brown rice! I know that eating white rice with veggies and meat together will decrease the insulin spike somewhat.

I switched to brown rice only when my kids were little, 25 years ago. No one seemed to notice, even my husband who is notoriously picky. I now use a Lundberg blend of brown and wild rices most of the time. Amazon has an amazing selection of specialty rices and subscribe and save makes them affordable.

Basmati white rice actually has a lower glycemic index and tastes way better than brown

I love the info in part one, Tunaboy. Certainly you recognize part two is subjective though, right?

I tried the Target microwave wild rice as a forgot my lunch food pantry at work choice. The serving was large, probably too large to regularly consume. I like having choices other than my go to hummus and nuts.

I use a brown rice derived pasta by Tinkyada brand. A serving of this with my lean meats, lasts me all night with no hunger at all.
I try to stay gluten free as much as possible. I like it very much and think it is the best gluten free pasta out there.

http://www.tinkyada.com/
I think the spirals are the best.

With white rice or wheat pasta, I get hungry around 4am.

There's a free low carb recipe book on Amazon right now for anyone with a Kindle. I got it, but haven't looked at it. It has gotten good reviews, though.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...OSKLSPXTD3WHNW

I've also picked up a lot of good recipes on the web, especially Facebook's "Low Carb Zen" page.
