Thread: Wholemeal Pasta

Unless rice and pasta form the basis of your diet, just eat white if you want. GI is pretty much useless once you eat a mixed meal.

I've been eating more white rice lately. I like it a lot better.

Yeah but you don't work out so that don't count.

Built, I have been living on brown or basmati rice for more than two years now (2-3 times a day) as these are taught to be the best rices for bodybuilding. So you believe that over a period of 3-6 months of eating white pasta, potato and jasmine rice for carbs you I won't notice anything different?
Why the myth surrounding these types of carbs?
I'd eat white if I thought it was just as beneficial but I'd rather endure the better forms of carbs to reap the rewards.
