OK the brown rice and yams are getting pretty old. I have been eating them everyday for 7 weeks while cutting and I've dropped a lot of bodyfat. BUT I need to switch things up and I'm planning to subsitute WHOLE WHEAT PASTA and WHOLE WHEAT BREAD in the place of the yams and brown rice. I plan on cutting for about 5 more weeks but I can't handle the BR and Yams anymore. Will I be able to stay on track with the Whole Wheat Bread and Pasta?
Nah, they both have gluten in them and are processed carbs.
Ride it out........
Should have started dieting w/the "dirtier" sh*t first, then switched it up clean as it gets closer.

Aren't Black Beans a good complex source also?

I have a recipe for this curried brown rice somewhere that I make and it tastes better then rice a roni. I'll post it when I find it.
Yams---- cook it in the micro, cinnimon, sugar free maple or splenda, and butter buds. Its like candy.

Do you count the Sugarl alcohols,Sorbitol towards total carbs?
SC,
Can you advise on posts #4 and #5??
Thanks,

Yeah thats why I been using the spenda more often, I been really strict with carbs, only PWO, and PPWO and oats or yams for breakfast only on WO days so my carbs are real low.Quote:

Thanks Bros!
I got some surgar free syrup and that sh*t is the bomb on the Yams.
I haven't found a way to improve the brown rice yet. The funny thing is a month or two ago the brown rice was my favorite food in my diet. Funny how my taste (like and dis-likes) have totally changed during this strict cutting diet. I'm even craving foods that I have never liked. :scratch:
well... i know there is this rice pasta... its a certain brand though... its amazing! tastes much, much, better than other crap i've tried!!!!!.... I had it several times, but i can only find it at a real italian store around here.... i'll get the name brand next time.... :scratch:
(and you can also get gluten free pasta, i think the carbs in it are still processed though)
thats why you can't go wrong w/ this rice pasta :lift:
