Guessing he means stick to wholewheat pasta...which you should...it tastes far better!

No no no! Brown rice is tastier than white but wholemeal pasta? Are you mad!?!?

Wholewheat pasta is great. More texture and flavour. White pasta is pasty and mushy.

I just like it chewy. White pasta isn't chewy enough

Brown rice is lower GI. It's a better source of fibre. Cup of white rice has about 1g of fibre - brown has about 3.5g

You should avoid white things - bread, pasta, rice, sugar.

I disagree. White carbs have their place in a balanced diet. To cut something out completely is wrong imo.

One example of a good time to eat white carbs is immediately after a gym session or other physical activity (along with some protein as well).
