thought that for many years, re: Basmati and sugars, recently started doing some glucose testing, turns out even if eaten after vegetables etc, and eaten in small quantities , the basmati causes large spikes, maybe from insulin resistance built up.
here there is cauliflower rice, but personally, i'm off breads, rices and noodles , even whole grains like quinoa , here we also have Plant Pasta, which I've found to be tasty enough and causes no large spikes ;
we even have cauliflower crust pizzas, but its the ultra-processed food, to also avoid, in part cause of the imbalance of omega 3 and 6s ..
