Lots of white rice, I see.  Some people here go nuts, say its a terrible idea.  Others love it.

What's your take?  Essentially the same as brown, just more calories?  Or do you stress the whole GI thing?

     To be honest I do a ton of cardio pre-contest almost too much.  I walk on a treadmill with a 10 incline at 3 mph some times 3 times a day for 45 minutes a clip so I like to eat the rice for energy.  I also like tuna sushi rolls and that is white rice so I like to keep it simple and keep the same foods going into my body.  When I switch to potato's, sweet potato's, oatmeal, etc. I get a super high metabolism and feel kinda sick and bloated so I just stick to the white rice.  Plus to be totally honest I love the taste of it more than any other form of carb and with Butter Buds on the rice you can't beat it.  In the end I do have to do the extra cardio though and I do cut back as the show gets closer.  I cut it back to only one cup a day the last two weeks or so depending on how I look.....

Joe.....try Jasmine rice with a little rice wine vinegar and a small amount of splenda mixed in.  Tastes like sushi rice.

Good calves!

BTW-I lived in Lansing for a while, trained at Powerhouse East lansing across from MSU-you know anyone from that gym???

A guy couple Tom and Kelly?? Ostrow (SP?) were running it for a while, and a guy named Jason (?) worked the front desk.

Names ring a bell???
