3 Food Lies Reveal Why White Rice is Proven BETTER Than Beloved Brown Rice to Increase Your Fat Loss and BOOST Your Metabolism... 2 of 3

Food Lie #2: You’ve Been Lied to About the Glycemic Index
(it’s a HOAX)

Another misleading reason people think they need to avoid foods like white rice in order to burn off body fat is because it has a higher glycemic index than brown rice.

In case you didn’t know, the glycemic index attaches a number to food, which indicates how much it will spike your insulin levels. The higher the number, the higher the insulin spike. The lower the number, the lower the insulin spike.

And since it’s nearly impossible to burn fat in the presence of high insulin, it only makes sense to choose lower glycemic carbs, like brown rice, instead of white rice every chance you get.

However, when you combine a higher glycemic food choice with other foods, and you take into account portion size, this number basically becomes irrelevant – because both of these factors will impact your body’s insulin response.

So even though low glycemic carb choices are typically healthy, the glycemic index number itself can be very misleading.

Another example is fruit. The riper the fruit, the more sugar it has, which means the glycemic index changes as the fruit ripens.

As long as you control your portion sizes and combine your high carb foods with quality animal proteins and cruciferous vegetables, the glycemic index shouldn’t be a concern.

I’m not saying you can go around snacking or binging on high glycemic, processed carbs without fat-storage. But be careful of “trendy” diet plans that tout they’ll keep you in “the fat burning zone” with the glycemic index. It’s another nutrition MYTH and food LIE.

In fact, you CAN eat loads of your favorite high glycemic foods without fat storage – especially if you’re an exerciser. You just have to be "smart" about it by using the propriety carb cycling method I show you on the next blog.
