why do bodybuilders eat white rice as opposed to brown

[cutt8604]

I have seen it with a lot of bodybuilders and recently saw it in an article about the rock's bulking diet for hercules and he was eating 2 cups of white rice like two or three times per day....why are these guys eating this as opposed to brown rice? does it have anything to do with insulin regulators? because I always thought slow digesting carbs were favored.

Because it digests better and at the end of the day carbs are carbs when they come from both clean sources. Also try and eat 2 cups brown rice and have another meal in 2-3 hours. It isn't happening

Re: why do bodybuilders eat white rice as opposed to brown

so what you are saying is the white rice will digest faster and at almost the same GI level as brown?? do you eat white or brown?? and is instant white rice 128 and the kind that takes forever to make 83 or am i reading that wrong?? when i bulk back up i may switch to white if i can get this right

I eat brown rice exclusively unless its a meal out and white is only alternative

[jamescb77]

I eat only eat white rice. For prep and bulking white rice only. It's what digest well for me and I like the taste better.

I'm a white rice eater, have been all my life. I can cook 4 cups of rice and eat the entire pot in the course of the day over 6 meals easy.

Brown rice is the way to go! White rice is used by a lot of BBrs cause it's fast cheap and easy.

Brown Rice for me!
In fact I don't consume anything that has been bleached or enriched / processed. Whole foods all the way is how I eat.

Some here I always love sticky rice I could eat that for days. If I'm bulking or just don't give I eat anything and everything ill alternate but if I'm trying to cut its when I eat strictly brown rice

There's nothing wrong with right rice in moderation IMO.Brown is of course a much healthier choice and much easier keeping your sugar level under control but that doesnt mean you have to eliminate it completely if that's your choice.I personally rarely eat white rice but that my choice.If you feel white is ok for you,go for it.

As for the taste,as with any food,the taste is all in how you prepare it and with what.To make brown rice "taste good", I recommend making it with chicken or beef bouillion cubes in the water (1 cube per cup up water). This will give it a richer flavor. It is to the point now where brown rice tastes substantial and white rice tastes like bland cardboard. Just one of the many alternative ways to make brown rice taste delicious.

Thanks fist never thought of that ill gi e it a try
