    *My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*

      The era where there was no White Rice no Brown Rice... because to make this we need Machine and electricity.
      In that era of no machine no electricity.. people our ancestors eat only Human Hand Pounded Natural Rice. It has Lowest GI only 42, Its easy to digest, fast cook, no presoak need. While making it no heat is generated. So all its nutrition saved, all oil of rice grain saved. its taste is saved.
      So people just follow your ancestors for food, because you got your DNA from them. I found a Video where people are doing Traditional Human Hand Pounding.

    for me, more than 3 months without eating rice, I started having a blood test and the result was Hbac1, 7 my blood sugar. I ate more rice than the dish, my doctor told me that I would only eat 1 cup of rice. What I did was I researched on google and youtube but I discovered something, people can live even without rice, so I tried, at first it was difficult but I told myself I can do it because it's for me. So it's been more than 3 months I don't eat rice but what I eat, vegetables, meats, eggs, wheat bread, rarely sweets but no soft drinks even juice I don't drink, water and green tea I always drink. Also exercise every day.i check my sugar now is 5.8

      If you eliminate the wheat bread and eat no sweets at all, you'll get your a1c well below 5.6...guaranteed!! 5.8 is still pre-diabetic. Most primary care doctors will high five their patients when they get their a1c below 7 for some reason. Is it good to improve your a1c and lower it once you are diagnosed as being pre-diabetic or type 2? Absolutely, but MOST doctors don't know how to control diabetes the right way and will keep you on meds when you can easily control it by diet alone. Your a1c needs to be 5.6 or lower to say you have officially reversed your diabetes. Don't believe the "wheat" products are good for diabetics myth or you need to eat plenty of fruits. The sugar in fruit is still fructose. If you have to have fruits, stick with anything in the berry family, but only in moderation.

    I have been on KETO for about 1.5 years and I love it and have improved my health lowered my cholesterol, no longer pre diabetes, and lost a bunch of weight. I LOVE all the low carb vegetables and fruit, nuts and seeds etc. I eat cauliflower every week and sometimes I eat an entire head of it in one meal with a chicken breast or whatever meat. I did cauliflower rice for the first time yesterday and the results were outstanding. Quite a surprise. I riced an entire head with a stainless norpro grater using the large holes. It was a bit of work and next time I will try a food processor which I read offers great results with less effort. The texture very much mimicked rice and it was like eating rice. I did it a little al dente and I think that helps. I can eat raw vegetables or steamed without any butter or seasoning just plain steamed veggie and like the vegetable plain flavors. Cauliflower will take on any seasoning you use which makes it great for many various cuisines.
    I used to eat Jasmine for Asian dishes, Basmati as an all around regular rice and for Middle eastern/Indian dishes and always with Lamb and I used to use long grain white rice for mexican. Last night I seasoned the cauliflower rice with Turmeric, Fresh cracked black pepper, granulated garlic powder and salt along with EVOO and butter. It came out GREAT! It really resembled basmati although missing the nutty flavor of basmati but the I used for basmati middle eastern dishes really made the cauliflower taste just like the middle eastern basmati rice I used to make.
    Cauliflower rice has excellent potential in a variety of cuisine, Middle eastern, Indian, Italian, Mexican and Asian.
    I will next make Mexican Spanish rice with the cauliflower using cayenne, granulated garlic powder, onion powder, cracked black pepper, fresh cilantro, butter, evoo.
    I will also try making a cauliflower Italian Risotto, with heavy cream, and imported italian pecorino romano, fresh basil, imported dried Italian oregano on the sprig, thyme, ground rosemary, salt, cracked black pepper, imported Calabrian dried red hot peppers, and Evoo and butter.
    Asian Cauliflower rice is easy too. I will just and Asian herbs and seasoning accents such as fresh ginger, Sesame oil for added fat and delicious flavoring, sesame seeds, fresh garlic and granulated, coconut milk, lemon/lemon zest, Thai curry paste, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar etc.
    Give Cauliflower rice a try, you might be surprised like I was....GOOD LUCK!

But unless you want to be turned into glucose (which the body needs little of) keep going.

    Former T2 diabetic here. Nice video! Good substitute recommendations. But one thing that was not mentioned was that when rice is washed and cooked they lose pretty much all B vitamins. Loss of B vitamins is what leads to Beriberi. Unwashed parboiled rice is a cheaper, more nutritious alternative that actually still tastes like white rice. Shirataki rice tastes gross and super expensive. The others may look like rice but don't taste anything like rice.
    How did I reverse my T2 diabetes? I am Asian so white rice is a staple in my culture. I simply gave it up in exhange for my health. I replaced rice with fatty cuts of meat, grass fed butter, pasture raised eggs, seafood, and more saturated fat. Increased my daily salt intake. Lost 60 lbs in 6mths and reversed all of my health markers, including cholesterol. Cholesterol does not cause heart disease by itself. Refined grains, sugar, veg oils, and inflammation do. Carbs are optional but is not an essential macronutrient. What we seek in carbs are actually micronutrients, which animal foods are already loaded with.

      @@SummerHawaii582 The concept behind eliminating the starches is to control blood sugar levels and spikes. The wrong type of carbs makes your blood sugar spike. When that happens your pancreas releases insulin that prevents you from burning off the glucose and actually pushes the sugar to the liver and your gut (stored as fat), causing weight gain. I am over simplifying. Control the carbs (eliminate sugar as much as possible), control calorie intake, and do intermittent fasting and there is no way you won't lose weight. The longer you go without eating (example 20 hours) the more fat you burn. One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, so reducing by 500 calories a day is one pound of fat a week. There are too many variables that I don't know for me to help you dial in a program. Trust me, once you give up sugar you will not be hungry. Dr. Berg has many useful videos also. Don't give up and stick with it. Good luck.

    I’m a 21 year old black male. I eat fonio and quinoa. Both complete proteins with a host of other nutrients. I eat oats too. That’s pretty much it grain wise. Fufu occasionally. Rice goes straight to my gut and I feel like it makes me constipated. I’m a light skin black male not mixed. I say that because race gender and genetics play a role in what foods are right for you. The darker you are the more selenium you need in your diet. The easier you sunburn the more sulfur you need in your diet. I stopped eating certain foods and my life changed. I love how fonio can be made as a porridge or as rice or a stew I highly recommend.

    I keep both #4 and #5 in my pantry. I don't really like the taste of cauliflower rice. The konjac rice has almost no taste but I prefer it. If you simmer it in a dish for a while it does take on some flavor. It works well in cajun dishes or with chili and as noodles works well with pepper steak type meals.I generally buy it in packs that include, rice, noodles, pasta and more. Most are zero carb and since I only allow myself 12 carbs per day it works well for me.

  • @Georgia-Vic

    I've been eating rice all my life (I'll be 53 of Feb. 2022)until recently though because of some things I've discovered such as:the high carb content of white rice, all grains add weight and are not healthy for human consumption (it's what's used to add mass to livestock to sell and make profit for companies!) and last but certainly not least of all,yes rice does contain arsenic like everything else but here's the kicker: Arsenic in and of itself isn't necessarily bad because it's a naturally occurring element (in it's natural state that is!) Rice grown in California and Asia is ok but NOT that which is grown in the parts of the Southern U.S. States like:Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas & Arkansas, because during the Early part of the 20th Century from around 1930 until the late '50's the Pesticide Arsenic(synthesized and artificial and unlike the naturally occurring arsenic which is easily digested & assimilated, the one used to kill bugs is still in the soil and doesn't break down,it's taken up into a plant and cannot be washed off because it's in the plant's cells!) was widely used on all agriculture which was a byproduct from Coal Tar (which was a by product of the burning of Coal-used as a production aid for fuel and heating in furnaces in large Corporations) so the take-away is:Rice in No form is beneficial to Humans but if you do ingest it make sure it's Not from the United States (except for Cali where Arsenic wasn't used to spray on food crops!)...BTW the reason rice is rinsed is that rice like beans and anything that is manufactured in mass production should be washed from foreign debris like grease, trash,microbes & bacteria and also washing does get rid of excess starch when cooked(like spaghetti noodles) causes clumping & stickiness to the individual grains which inhibits fluffiness!😉

( don’t get all in my face that beans are too high in protein to raise BS! It’s a) not true b) every person has different tolerances ! I actually don’t miss anything from my diet I’ve cut out. I live in the “salad bowl” state CA and I just put whatever protein and low carb veggies I am eating over a nice big green salad 🥗 I feel so much better with lower glucose and I feel am actually eating even healthier than before 😊

In fact they need those carbs for a quick energy boost to get daily chores done. In western countries we usually have too many amenities that we don’t need to do lot of physical work daily like washing dishes/clothes manually, going to grocery store by walk etc. And hence the recommendation here should be lower.
