Substitutes for rice

hmmm correct if I am wrong but rice is a grain, so white rice would be a complex carb which should "comprise the majority of your daily carb intake" your words not mine...

Ok let me correct you..White Rice has had the grain removed during the milling process. I explain the process in detail in a previous post. You know instead of just "trolling" the boards to instigate arguments and derail threads.

You are really pretty, but I think you need a drink so you stop getting so upset.

Mimosa?

I'll take a Bellini with grilled cauliflower on the side please, no white rice!

I will make you one of my grilled Cauliburgers. It is like a hamburger, I swears!

Funny how you actually just said you dont nitpick all of my posts. Actually your posts are very aggressive and have nothing to do with the actual OP question. I am allowed to have an opinion without you nitpicking and then rewording everything I post. I also stated many facts throughout this entire thread including the nutritional content of white rice and comparing the content of better substitutions which unlike you actually responds to the OP. I've also posted the actual process for making white rice as well as various reasons why many Asian cultures have white rice as a staple and are able to eat it without the consequences many Americans might have from it. I don't think anything you have said has had anything to do with the OP question, its all been in response to my posts, thus attacking me personally. Just give advice to the OP and move along if you don't have anything to add. if you like white rice and have no substitutions for it, maybe this isn't the thread for you.

I nitpick because you're a "professional" and from one to another, be professional. Our personal "feelings"(calling it garbage) on food don't need to be voiced. You'll never see me do. If I don't agree with a food choice or program, I state why, back it up, then answer questions if asked.
While it's nice that you offer information on how food is milled, produced, etc. etc., the attitude toward those that don't eat as "clean" as you is apparent. You don't have to say it, it's that apparent.
I didn't make a suggestion to the OP because most (including you) have given good options. I did interact because I don't like to sit by and let a "professional" give out incorrect information. What caught my eye on the thread was the word RICE, since I eat rice almost everyday.

I think if you were such a "professional" you might want to practice what you preach. You just admitted you "nitpick" through my posts, so take some words of wisdom from your own advice. I stated my opinion, backed it up, and instead of a normal discussion I got attacked by you and several others and called a person who doesn't like Asians ( even though went to college and lived in Hawaii for 7yrs so I find that just silly). I have no "attitude" towards anyone and am not a spokesmodel for the "eating clean diet". In fact if you actually took the time to read some of my posts I recommend eating foods you enjoy in moderation. What I don't do is tell you that certain foods are healthy, when they are stripped of all their nutritional content. Again, stop nitpicking and making your own assumptions based off things I've never actually said, its not very professional.

Really I said the entire continent of Asia eats garbage? Please don't put words in my mouth. Now we are stereotyping that all of asia only eats rice? And you do realize there are many different "Asian" cultures as well. The cultures in which you are assuming have diets that are also high in vegetables and protein and very low in sugars and sweets. They also live completely different lives than most sedentary Americans who work a typical desk or computer job. Their primary mode of transportation is walking. There are big differences between our culture and theirs. To make the assumption "Asians eat a lot of rice and stay healthy so we can too". Does not work unless you are taking into account their entire diet and activity level. Asian cultures have a higher daily activity level than those here in America. Do I still think white rice is "garbage" yes I think it has been stripped of all nutrients, fortified with the vitamins that were removed, and contains no fiber. The reason its eaten in such high quantities in many Asian cultures is because of its affordability and accessibility which has in turn made the staple of rice part of their culture. Just like spam became part of Hawaii's culture, but I'm not going to tell you I think its healthy.

Here is a quick little article on taking into account the reasons Asian cultures eat rice and stay thin to the diet of Americans. As you will see many of the points I made are listed, and he lists a few others that are also fair to take note of.

That's all we eat. Cauliflower is so versatile. You can make it into rice, you can cook it a little longer and use a stick blender or food processor and make it into "mashed taters" ... I also use it mixed with cheese and eggs for the crust for pizza. We love cauliflower!

Very new to all of this ... we use Basmati rice on the 'instruction' of my personal trainer. BUT I am curious about this cauliflower pizza crust. Is there a recipe I can follow?? I'm a former New Yorker and I LOVE my pizza but have been instructed to cut my sugars/carbs down.

Cauliflower is great to make mashed potatoes as well!!

Miracle Noodle rice is pretty good. Low or no calories, no carbs, fiber. Texture is weird, and it smells funny until you rinse it, but not bad! They keep you full forever!!! I personally haven't tried the cauliflower rice but fauxtatos (mashed cauliflower) is the bomb!! My bf loves it, so does his daughter!

no cals, carbs, or fiber, smells funny and has an odd texture? sounds more like something i use when shipping fragile packages than something i would try to eat
