@unaluna:

I looked into The Starch Solution diet and what a surprise! Carbs are GOOD on this plan! It's affordable too. I myself follow The Canada Food Guide which is very heavy on vegetables, as per my doctors advice, but it's still good to know. I'm really turned off by The Paleo Diet with it's emphasis on meat. Glad to read about alternatives.

I read about black rice, also called Forbidden Rice because it was reserved for the aristocracy in Ancient China. Apparently it has powerful antioxidant properties. I will look for it when i am next in our bulk foods store. Thanks for the tip!

Ta!
