You do know that there is no difference right? Rice is still incredibly high on the glycemic index. It spikes your glucose levels, which triggers insulin and prevents fat loss. Not trying to rain on your parade, just wanted you to know the facts about nutrition, since they keep lying to us.  

There is no real caloric difference, stick to the rice you like the most; the main difference is fiber content. If you like white rice more, it's okay to eat it once in a while :) It's all about portions and balance! Take care! 

I just can’t make myself like it! I’m going to keep trying though! Good for you!!! 

cool. I'm trying quinoa. it's not bad if you season the water. 

I switch from one to the other: white, sticky, brown, and wild in some casseroles. Unfortunately, all rice is out of the picture until I loose this giant muffin around my middle!  

I make my brown rice w/ chicken stock.  

I like brown rice and I also have just discovered the red quinoa. 

Good job! Whole grains are delicious and are great for you! I personally prefer brown rice to white and I think once you get used to it you will too. 

Minute rice makes a 'grain medley' that's delicious, brown, Red and wild rice with quinoa. Nice change up once you've acclimated to brown rice. 😊 

I love ancient grains and wild rice. I like more texture in my food and less bland. LOL 🤷🏻‍♀️ Strangely enough, when you go looking for the real deal on food, you find out it tastes good! LOL 

Please ignore Summerbreesy. What a load. Carbs are just calories, Summer. No different than the fat calories where fat loss is concerned. Please read some science before giving any more advice. 

carbs feed the brain and watch for companies who sell rice that is grown in arsenic prone areas like mine. 

Making healthy changes and tweaking things you eat is a good way to keep going. I love rice, any color or form, and I've even recently tried the riced veggies and love those. Good for you for making a change for health! 

actually fat calories and carb calories couldn't be farther from the same....fat is burned as fuel and carbs are stored as fat unless the person has a very active lifestyle, as in plays a sport daily or runs/worksout daily. The key is you can not consume a diet high in fat unless you give up the carbs. and if you are gonna rely on carbs as fuel and are active you must keep your fat intake lower, you can't have both or that leads to energy stores which come in the form of fat storing.  

For diabetics, esp T2D, restricting carbs leads to better health, weight loss and fewer medications. Non-starch carbs can be a great source of minerals and micro nutrients - but while there are essential amino acids, essential proteins, and essential fats - there are NO essential carbohydrates.  

My diet works for me. I'm dropping weight, and I am happy. Thanks for all the support yall 

Why the hate on Summerbreesy. Google shows it's factual. Everyone is trying to help. Don't chase people away. 

I enjoy white sticky rice or fried rice, and jasmine rice is good too 

Good for you BigYosh! I love rice!  

Doesn’t make a difference in macronutrients from the foods sources they are coming whether it’s “brown rice cooked, long grain, 100g ” which has nutritional value of Fat: 0.9, carbs: 23, protein: 2.6 = 110.5 calories Or “Sweet potato 100g” Fat: 0.1, carbs: 20, protein: 1.6 =87.3 calories The differences are only slight but both are almost made up entirely of carbs, with almost identical calories, fat, protein, carb content. So Eat what you like, won’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things. Also fun fact: the glycemic index was only based on the effect insulin levels had from eating foods at night in isolation after an all day fast. Which has absolutely NO relevance to insulin levels unless you’re purposefully eating nothing and then loading up on higher carb sources (insert any food) but if that isn’t the case then (which honestly who does that? Nobody) which makes the GI index completely useless. So for 99.99% of the population (hey maybe there is that one guy who eats an entire box of cereal at night before sleeping after a 12hr fast 😋) It won’t matter in the grand scheme of things unless someone has medical issues related to higher insulin levels. Ta da. So enjoy your carbs from whatever sources you so please! 🍌🌽🍞🥞🍚🎂🍦🍫🍿🍩🍝🌮🍔🍟🍬🍪🥜🍺 🤩
