Re: have you tried brown rice?

I used to eat it when I was a vegan. It's chewy, not soft like most rices. I eat rice now, but not in the same amounts I did before. I figure I get most of my fiber and vitamins from vegetables, not grains, so having a bit of white rice once in a while isn't going to permanently damage my health.

I loved brown rice, but it is definitely an acquired taste. However, once you acquire a taste for it, it's really good.

I also deliberately overcooked mine so it would be soft and not chewy.

I used to eat it in my pre-Atkins days and I really liked the texture. You can try to replace it with shredded then fried cauliflower.

When I get to the appropriate rung I think I would enjoy having brown rice (with butter and salt) once in awhile.

That's one of the things I'm looking forward to when I get WAY up the OWL rungs!

I really like it too so I was excited to get to rung 9 to try it and then I found that I could not eat it. Big bloodsugar reaction. I may try at again in premaintenance.

i don't like it. just looking at the color of the rice make me sick. and it's not as good as white rice.
