The truth about carbs BBC1

Is anyone watching this? It sounds very like Slimming World-class similar to SP. It's low white carb but with wholegrain bread, oats, beans etc. Some of it was a bit ' no shit Sherlock' but there were some interesting information about resistant starch carbs like wholemeal bread and oats, which you can't have on traditional lchf diets

Personally I will carry on eating brown rice & pasta. With a third speed your portion size is reduced anyways.
Do love cauliflower rice and it did remind me about bulgar wheat (which I like but haven’t had for years!)
Don’t have room in my freezer for bread - thought that bit was interesting!

Mayne I didn't give it enough of a chance but I turned off after they said a bagel effectively contains the same amount of sugar as a chocolate muffin. Hopefully they went on to explain why it's really a bit more complicated than that, but I'm a bit fed up with the demonisation of carbs like bread, rice and pasta. Apart from anything else, they are much cheaper to feed a family on than lean protein.

Maybe!

Yes I wish they had expanded on the wholemeal fibre aspect. That was the most interesting bit of it but it was a very small section. They didn't talk about brown rice or pasta which contains fibre or potato skin. My bread is always in the freezer because I have a local co-op that always sells tons of reduced bread. I was just watching and thought it sounded like SW.
