I’ve been pondering that lately. This week’s eating plan is vegan? I decided to really give vegan a fair shake (even though everyone I’ve ever met that was a vegan was fat)… so I’m making it a slow-carb vegan week. Hahaha. Whatever.

I’m not eating noodles, potatoes (but I just did. Does French Fries counts?), carrots or any other high carb vegetable.

I have my doubts about rice. According to low carb theory, white rice is just as bad as bread, noodles, potatoes and other pure simple carbohydrate based foods. Eating rice should make you fat under low carb theory.

But wait! Rice is the staple diet of 1/3 of the world’s population. Most residents of all Asian and African countries eat a ton of rice… and are the thinnest people in the world. Duh! They are thin because they ate only rice. Where is the protein -- chicken, beef, pork etc?

It is also a staple in central America. Costa Ricans eat a LOT of rice. They are thinner than North Americans. What gives?

I’m really not sure. Initially I thought perhaps refinement was the culprit. Most low carb advocates acknowlege that carbs that are fiber simply don’t count as evil. In fact, fiber carbs might actually count in reverse and help weight loss.

I really don’t know. I’m completely baffled by the rice conundrum. It seems to be a high carb item that should be just as fattening as bread, noodles and potatoes, but… the fact is that billions of people eat a ton of rice every year… and are still skinny.

What do you think? How can that be explained?

But here's a little something I wish to inform you people. I've stop eating rice for close 4 months and surprisingly, I loss huge amount of weight. I'm abit skinny but I still look fat. I don't know.

Repeat after me bitches: RICE MAKES A PERSON FAT!
