But wait, hear me out!
I read on TOB that sticky rice has been labeled a nono on the diet. This is fine, however, I'd like to point out there is such a creature as brown sticky rice. When I make/buy sushi & sashimi, this is what I get to go with it, and when I make some onigiri (rice puffs) for hubby and I, I use the brown sticky rice. The brand I buy is only made with milled brown rice. What I do is I take the rice, make it into whatever shape I want and put something small and not very wet inside (like tuna flavored with red curry, or mashed adzuki beans) and wrap it in nori.
Does this seem like an ok snack, or even a part of a meal? |

i think it will depend on the GI index
because even BROWN JASMINE rice is NOT allowed... |

| Well, it looks like its medium at 55 according to the GI links on here. It's funny because white is medium at 58. :o |

which would lead me to extrapolate that it is therefore not allowed. |

The site I refer to, lists basmati rice as medium GI at 58, but white rice as high GI at 69.

IIRC, long-grain rice is also allowed, and its GI is about 56, according to this same site. |

According to the site Magna posted, brown rice is this:
Food: Brown Rice (cooked)
Glycemic Index: 50
Glycemic Index Rating: Low
I used the GI link on the side of the forums for reference in my second post. Is there a GI limit for what we look for, since some of the GI foods we can't eat are in the high, med and low category?
I make my own sushi for lunch, and will be making it more now that I have my ingredients. I wonder if couscous would be a good sushi subber...*is inventing ideas* |

No, we don't generally get into GI/GL calculations and whatnot. Just go by the foodlist-- all the work is done for you already. |
