Then stick to a maximum of 1 cup of grains per day. So if you have 1 cup of oatmeal in the morning, that's it. The rest of the day is vegetables, beans, legumes and meats. if you know you're having a curry for lunch or dinner, just make a choice to have no grains for breakfast and keep your 1 cup of grains for the brown rice with the curry. The obvious question is then, if I don't have grains for breakfast - what do I have then? How about beans? or beans and eggs? or eggs and a salad? I'll be answering that question on the blog later in the week as I'm off grains for an entire week this week. Might go two weeks too as I did last time.
