Isn't this true of essentially most cuisines though, to be carb rich? Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, French, etc - the typical diet in most places is heavily skewed towards carb in general. It's a matter of adjusting the ratio of protein-rich foods vs carbs within that cuisine to your needs.
- 1auralynn 5y agoDifferent carbs affect people differently, but for me rice was a big no no, whole wheat was OK, and corn was great (whew!). So, Thai was pretty bad, Chinese not much better but you can find less sugary dishes. Indian was actually pretty good as long as I didn't gorge myself: The fat in the dishes helps slow down the sugar absorption so you don't get the extreme spikes, and you can pair it with a whole wheat roti instead of rice. Mexican was GREAT cause, corn + beans (beans were the best!! so much fiber and protein, barely any spike when eating them). Italian is ok as long as you make it yourself with whole wheat pasta and eat lots of meat and cheese. French is good cause they have lots of meat-focused dishes. The best meals for me were like a pork chop or steak, greens of some kind, and quinoa or whole wheat mac n cheese or polenta.
