So basically my parents are Asian and I have to visit grandparents in Taiwan next summer. This means, of course, that I'll have to eat *a lot* of white rice, which has a glycemic index almost equal to that of sugar. As a result, I'll have to find all sorts of ways to lower the glycemic index of it.
I think I'll take http://www.scienceda...loss_weapon.htm with me. I know that starch blockers have very little efficacy - but this is more of a starch "delayer" than a starch blocker. I'll also take vinegar and cinnamon - both lower food glycemic index. Mixing it with vegetables would also help lower the glycemic index (at least asians *do* eat lots of vegetables). Does anyone have any other suggestions that might drive it low? Yes exercise is another suggestion although unfortunately it'll be over the summer so it'll be too hot to exercise comfortably and I'd like to exhaust all non-exercise related options first.
