Topic: Asians and rice.

[Aaron Ream]

As an Asian (or at least half), I love rice and it's never made me tired or anything. All the time I'll make a large bowl of rice or eggs in the morning. Gets me through the day.

I'm half-asian, and after going on a 2 month carb restricted diet, not having rice everyday made me WAY more tired, compared to having rice for EVERYMEAL (yes, I consume jasmine white rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Not sure if it's an asian thing or not, but my father, who is full Filipino, consumes a plateful of rice every meal, and as fit as I am, I doubt I could ever keep up with him.

Minus the carb diet, this is my exact scenario.

YAY FILIPINOS!

but I guess that means I have to take "The Filipino" out of my box thing...

i'm half asian as well, but when i restricted my carbs for 2 months, i definitely noticed higher energy levels. I used to consume tons of carbs and rice, especially at breakfast, and i would definitely notice a period of down time in my energy.

Hmm, maybe my body is just weird? :\

Congratulations. You may be one of the few that is carb tolerant.
