Then I got into the "brown rice hype" and used only brown for a few diets. Then switched back because I like white better and it cooks quicker.
Really made no difference that I could see. |
The reason that they recommend whole grains is because most of the nutrients (not carbs) are in the bran and the germ on the outer parts of the grain. It is the same with potatoes. Most of the nutrients are in or near the skin. That is why a pound of small potatoes is more nutrient dense than a pound of large potatoes. Nutritarians are people that eat the most nutrient dense foods.
