    LOL wow, all these people hopping on the shoot-the-messenger train. What's healthy or not healthy to you may not apply to everyone. If this recipe doesn't apply to you, simply move past it and move on. Your "2 cents" is unneeded as your health requirements don't apply to it. It works for the OP and they wanted to share it, simple as that, so don't turn it into something it's not.

    Thanks for the recipe OP. :)

    Lol... People were asking legitimate questions, not blasting the OP. Not once was anyone rude.

    Thanks for the recipe. We love fried rice. I hadn't thought about adding cabbage either, sounds like a good addition.

    How is questioning a topic on an open forum to understand it shooting the messenger. No one is rude they are honest questions. If you read that link I put in up there, there are a few studies about brown rice vs white rice.

    This is posted in a general forum. If this recipe isn't intended for a general audience, then shouldn't it be in a group forum?

    I'm not shooting the messenger. I'm just questioning the subjectiveness in the terminology.

    I think the problem is that people just throw around the term "healthy" as if it means something specific. What's "healthy" to you may not be "healthy" to a vegan, someone who eats Paleo, or a diabetic. Like the example with the "healthy" pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, which are by no means "healthy" to anyone but someone who is looking for an excuse to eat chocolate chip cookies and still feel good about herself.

    No difference in calories. BUT brown rice has lower glycemic index (per Harvard School of Public Health) so is slower to raise blood glucose levels. This may not matter to everyone, especially if you only eat rice occasionally anyway, but for some people that's a very important difference.

    That's me..

    So why not call it "Low-GI" Fried Rice, instead of "healthy?" Inserting the subjective term "healthy" implies that this fried rice is somehow superior to its white rice counterpart.


    Really... Why dont you ask the website www.slenderkitchen Where this recipe came from... If this recipe isn't for you, I totally understand , but wanted to share something that I had tried and liked... All done.........


    I'm more concerned that you tried to pass this recipe off as your own.

    If you copy something from a website please have the courtesy to say so and provide a link to the website, otherwise you're stealing content. :noway:

    Wrong. Chocolate chip cookies can be a part of anyone's diet in moderation.

    I didn't say there's anything wrong with chocolate chip cookies; I eat them occasionally. I said they weren't healthy. :smile: Making them with pumpkin doesn't change that.

    This is a good idea too. I'll use cauliflower rice in recipes on days when I'm craving similar texture but not enough macros left in the day for real rice. :)

    But they are healthy... they are food. *shrug*

    If you will all look at this can you not see where I said where this recipe came from... I said earlier in this post if you would have read it instead of accusing me of stealing content.. I said www.slenderkitchen earlier in the post... If you look at my other posts I am always careful not to do this. I posted this recipe to possibly help someone and giving a alternative. I am beyond sorry I even tried.
