I’d add that for those of you that can’t or just aren’t willing to cut out grains from your diet….a modifcation would be to at least eliminate all processed grains (pasta and bread) and also refined grains (white rice, instant oats, etc.).

Instead, switch to WHOLE GRAINS with lower glycemic indexes. For example, instead of White Rice try Brown Rice or Basmati Rice….or take it a step further and substitue Quinoa. Insead of Semolina Pasta use Soba or Buckwheat Noodles or a Yam.

As a vegan, I have found that it is very possible to get cut while still consuming grains (and lots of them), but as Jason says, you need to be mindful your nutrition and avoid the processed stuff.
