Question about Wheat Pasta and Brown Rice?
I am new and just 6 weeks out and am trying to eat as well as I can. I am trying to stay away from the white starches and was wondering if I can cook with wheat pasta and Brown Rice in recipes and that be ok? I am on a regular Diet and am not sure of these items. Just wanting to try a few new recipes...

Anyway, all programs are different. You may want to try some "fake" rice and "fake" pasta that are protein based.
Good Luck Ginny!

It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Mock Cauliflower Fried Rice
1 head raw cauliflower, (grated to make 3 1/2 cups) (use the food processor!)
1 carrot, grated
3 green onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
½ bag coleslaw mix
¼ cup tiny peas
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 eggs, beaten
Olive oil
cooked chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, ham, turkey (Your choice )
In a wok or large flat skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom. Fry minced garlic with finely diced white part of onions and ginger about 1 minute. Add grated cauliflower and fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to mix well and brown a bit. Add coleslaw and keep stirring. Push mixture to one side of pan. Add more oil if necessary and scramble eggs in empty side of pan until done but still moist. Stir eggs and peas into "rice" mix and remove from heat.
Add meat if you want.

Do the experiment. Put some cooked rice into a bowl of soup. Look at how much that rice will inflate. That's exactly what happens to that food after you eat it, which is why most people can't tolerate it.
