Re: Brown Rice vs. white rice

[Guest guest]

Wow, that is shocking, I thought all rice GREW brown and it was processing

that stripped it, so you would be able to find whole rice over there

easily. I may be overly restrictive, but would say it's probably better to

skip the white. Do you have any American stores (military maybe) where you

could shop? I forget why you are over there and I may be confusing you with

someone in Seoul who is military. I know the mil stores carry brown.

We are teachers and the import store usually does carry brown rice. I

am not sure why they stopped. I was thinking the same thing about the

white rice. I can do many stir fries but don't have anything to put

it on. A baked potato, maybe? I have a few other questions. The

chicken bouillon I use does not have a label. I know it is not low

fat or sodium free. If I make soups, would you say to skip that as

well because of the fat and sodium? Also for the soy sauce, I can't

get any kind that is low sodium or whatever. Do you all think that

makes a whole lot of difference?

I am going to do more soups this week like suggested. I think I

will start with a vegetable soup like the cabbage soup. It just may

be bland if I don't add the bouillon.

Does anyone switch their exercises every two weeks? I know you should

at least every four but it wouldn't hurt anything to switch every two,

would it?

Have a great weekend one and all!

Thanks for the help!

i don't know about soy sauce.........on the biggest loser show, a trainer

freaked out and threw the whole bottom away when she found someone using it

- said it was pure sodium. Seems like if you could cook like the asians

where you live cook, you would do fine. They generally eat a very healthy

diet, don't they? Wonder if you could learn to like their food or take some

cooking classes geared toward the international community. (in english!)

I change my exercises about every 6 weeks. No harm in changing them every 2

I don't think - as long as you don't run out of choices! Seems there are

only 3 or so for some body parts, short of having gym machines.

If nobody in your family has high blood pressure, I wouldn't sweat the

occasional use of a little boullion or soy sauce. Salt doesn't make you gain

fat. It can make you retain water, but if your diet is high in fruits and

vegetables (potassium) and you're drinking lots of water, the impact on the

scale is minimal.

I can see soy sauce causeing a stir on The Biggest Loser because that show

is all about scale weight. Retain even a fraction of a pound and the whole

team could lose.

It's ok to change exercises every session if you want. Just don't go longer

than 4 weeks with the same routine.
