Whole grain second opinion

http://www.podcast.com/Health/Fitness-and-Nutrition/I-2358.htm

I was listening to some podcast from the nutrition diva and came across something interesting.  This past weekend I was telling a friend of mine that I really watch grain carbs.  She reminded me of how good things like brown rice and other whole grains were for you.  I tell you she was like a hard sell door to door sales pitch.  It was like she spit at me everything the TV has ever put out.  Now you have to love her but I am posting a second opinion that says put all grains in a measuring cup.  1/2 cup may be good but 2 cups is not best.  I would have headaches.  Put that 1/2 cup of pasta with 3 cups of roasted baby carrots and you might feel better.  In China 1 serving of grains is 6oz. not the 8 oz+ we eat here.

Consider  the source when you hear the latest and greatest breaking news and really think about what they are really saying.  I will continue to watch the amount of carbs I get from grains because it works for me. 

Just a note.  For breakfast I had 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg w/ spinach and onion.  OM really good w/ salsa on top.  It beats anything out of a box to get me going in the morning

One of my other fay fighting guys posted a blog about what is really in that instant oatmeal that the box says is heart healthy.  There is a reason I call instant oatmeal one of the baby bird foods.

In my spare time I read about what is out there in the diet world.  This is far more scary than anything that S.King guy can write.
