Brown rice

[pos bird]

Hi all. Started slimming world on Monday with a weight loss target of at least 1 1/5 stone. Looking through the list if heb for red day, can I substitute Brown rice instead of pasta. I know its not on the list but its less processed so I would have thought it would be healthier.

Thanks
Claire

No, unfortunately rice isn't a HEb on an original day-you would have definitely to syn it.

Thank you. Does seem strange though as nutritionally they are about the same and brown rice has more fibre. I will save it for green days or ee days.
