<p>White rice is touted to be basically pure starch by Paul Jaminet on the basis that asain people eat it so it must be healthy right?</p> <p>But it's not pure starch, it is a refined grain that most asain people haven't been eating that long.</p> <blockquote> <p>Blockquote</p> </blockquote> <p><em>Hakumai, polished rice came into use in the Genreku period at the end of the 17th century and the period at the beginning of the 18th century. It was the staple food prized by the emperors, nobles, warriors and wealthy merchants. Genmai, unpolished brown rice became the food of the poor.</em></p> <blockquote> <p>Blockquote -http://www.hawaii.hawaii.edu/nursing/tradjapan2.htm</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>White rice still has phytic acid:</strong> </p> <p><strong>FOOD-Brown rice- MIN=0.84 MAX=0.99 FOOD-Polished rice- MIN=0.14 MAX=0.60</strong></p> <p><strong>-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytic_acid#cite_ref-16</strong></p> <p>One phytic acid molecule has the ability to lock up many nutrients: <img src="http://www.aaes.auburn.edu/comm/pubs/highlightsonline/spring99/images/phytaseone.gif" alt="alt text"></p> <p>White rice is a poor source of all nutrients and phytic acid in white rice binds up lots of important nutrients like minerals, vitamins, and protein.</p> <p>So why would anyone eat white rice over potatoes or other underground storage organs which are legitimately paleo and don't contain phytic acid?</p>

<p>Maybe you should reevaluate this whole paleo thing. IMO the best way to get lean and what has worked for me is to eat enough sugar and protein to maintain muscle/healthy metabolism with foods that are hard to overeat on such as low fat milk and orange juice. Keeping fat low is the key, if you do that you can pretty much eat as much as you want and you will lean out.</p> <p>Sure a low carb(ketogenic) diet could work if you already have a ton of muscle mass but it will also probably tank your metabolism(which will cause health problems) and prevent muscle gains.</p> <p>Here's a blog post I wrote outlining my ideas on losing weight. <a href="http://co2factor.blogspot.com/2012/04/practical-ways-to-lose-fat.html" rel="nofollow">http://co2factor.blogspot.com/2012/04/practical-ways-to-lose-fat.html</a></p>

<p>Anyone who claims the hormones in milk do anything negative doesn't understand hormones period. Most of these retards only mention the estrogen but don't mention the progesterone which is much higher in pregnant milk, the progesterone would negate any effect the estrogen has. Let's not even get into how small of an amount dairy products actually contain of these hormones. It's all just fear monger scare tactics, probably from seed milk manufacturers </p>

Low carb makes you less insulin sensitive and can probably make your insulin resistant depending on how low carb you go. Fast digesting carbohydrates increase insulin sensitivity in normal people. I personally do a diet of mainly fruit and animal protein. Avoiding unripe fruit such as apples, pears and bananas can improve the gassey feelings. Strained fresh squeezed OJ usually causes no issues. I would avoid nuts as they are very high in PUFA and probably degraded from being stored so long, animals fat/protein are a much better option.

Starch is also more likely to cause hypoglycemia than sugar but it really isn't an issue if you don't eat PUFA with it or have a high concentration of PUfa in your tissue

@mambo- Those countries suffer so badly from diabetes because they have replaced traditional fats with seed oils. Seed oils prevent the glucose from be metabolized by the cells and damage the mitochondria which causes even more severe hypoglycemia and blood sugar issues. This is the only correlation that holds true and why cultures can often avoid diabetes and degenerative diseases by using saturated fat sources.

The problem is definitely not fructose imo. I've had no issues eating over 300g of fructose everyday and I feel a lot better than I ever did eating the equivalent in potatoes. My brother has had the same experience. Fyi you don't want to keep insulin low if your looking to build muscle or tissue.

I think the main problem with starches is relying to heavily on grains due to the phosphorus and fiber. Potatoes and tubers are generally safe, fruits are probably even better imo. @foreveryoung my comment was in regards to neil, I'm saying there are plenty of anecdotes of people healing autoimmune condition s on mcdougall's forum.

Not to mention all the nutrients eggs are missing. Milk is probably the best food if you want to eat only one food(that's a pretty dumb thing to do though imo), potatoes are probably pretty high up there too due to there high quality protein and nutrients.
