red rice glycemic index - #28559
I am really confused about this whole red rice glycemic index thing! Like, I thought all rice was pretty much the same, but then a friend mentioned something about how the red rice glycemic index is different and it made me wonder. A few months ago, I started trying to eat healthier because I've been feeling really sluggish. I cut out white rice and switched to brown rice, then switched to red rice after hearing it's better for blood sugar. I even looked up some stuff and they say that its glycemic index is lower than other types of rice. But like, how low is low? And does that mean I can eat more of it without my blood sugar spiking? Last week, I got my blood work done and my numbers are still wacky, which is frustrating. If the red rice glycemic index is really different, should I be eating that instead of brown rice? I feel like I'm all over the place with my diet and just want to figure this out. Should I focus on the red rice glycemic index more heavily than counting other carbs? Any help would be sooo appreciated!
