Brown rice would be a little better, because it takes longer for the digestive juices to break through the husk of the brown rice, which in turn creates a slower uptake of glucose. This ensures a more steady rate of insulin response so less of it will be stored as fat. But, there is definately more to it than what I just said. This is a guideline. If all you eat for one meal is a bunch of brown rice really quickly, the glucose will all modulate at the same time and you will get a big rush of sugar. That’s why balanced is the key here.
Everyone who is trying to lose weight and is not on a carb-free diet should eat whole oats for this same reason.
PhilsterBy the way, twinkies have preservatives and hydrogenated fats in them. Aren’t those bad?
Philster, please quit sending people to this outdated, 90’s diet site. I suggest you first read some recent nutrition books before singing any more praises of a diet based on 80’s and 90’s concepts. I mean, they recommend rice cakes! Come on! Rice cakes will put weight on faster then ice cream! Sheesh! No offense, but I think you are really misguided…
To the OP - try some internet searches on glycemic index, and then try eating a diet of food made of low GI foods. You’ll lose weight, and feel better…

You can eat anything you want, in the right quantities. Because people gorge themselves on refined sugar does not make refined sugar bad, or make all carbohydrates bad. It means it’s a bad habit.
People have carbs at easy disposal, so they are first to be consumed in mass quantities.
It’s all about how much you eat. AND, recent and real tested scientific evidence bears this out. You want a current link?
Here goes: Calories restriction is the way to go. If you can pack USDA nutrition too…and you can always have some calories like a twinkie, if you’d like.
Here is some science from people doing long term research on the effects the diets they propose. This is the latest and greatest.
Atkins! Good lord, people were in shape LOOOOOONG before Atkins, but not since mass quantities were consumed in eating frenzies and since laziness skyrocketed.
