Keto Food Questions
Can I consume rice on keto?
Not really. Different types of rice and their features:
White rice
• No hull, no bran, no germ (pure carbohydrate)
• Glycemic index: 77
• It’s enriched with synthetic vitamins – B1, B2, B3, folic acid, iron
One of the problems with consuming white rice is that you’re at risk of potentially developing a condition called Beri Beri (vitamin B1 deficiency). This is a neurological disease that can create all sorts of problems with the nerves, pulse rate, memory and blood sugars.
Brown rice
• Has no hull
• Has bran and germ (less refined)
• Glycemic index: 68 Wild rice
• It has the hull, the bran and the germ
