Uncle Ben's has a brown rice that comes in a package ready to be microwaved. Heat it up for 90 seconds and eat it right out the bag. Great if you're like me and hate the mess it makes when cooked in the pan

How to Lower Glycemic Effect of a Meal Even Further
As we have seen (What Determines Glycemic Effect), the presence of certain substances in the stomach and intestinal tract, during digestion (eg. fiber, acid or fat), can reduce the speed at which carbs are converted to glucose and thus reduce glycemic effect. By adding these items to our meal, we can lower it's glycemic impact on our system.
Add Soluble Fiber to Your Meal
Soluble fiber (eg. from oats, apples, citrus fruits) in the stomach or small intestine inhibits interaction between carbohydrate and the digestive enzymes, whose job is to break down the carb into glucose.
Add Food Acids to Your Meal
Acid (eg. from lemon juice or vinaigrette) in the stomach during digestion slows down stomach emptying and thus the conversion of carbs to glucose.
Add a Little Healthy Oil
Like acid, fat/oil retards stomach emptying and thus glucose metabolism. However, all oil is high in calories, while not all oil is healthy. So choose carefully, and add any oil sparingly. The best fats/oils are uncooked and unrefined. Choose ones like extra virgin olive oil, wheatgerm oil, canola, flaxseed (linseeds).

Brown rice and yams are the best carb sources you can get. Some would argue that oats are right up there too and I wouldn't disagree, I just don't like oats. If I eat em, I eat em dry w/ soem splenda. Not bad when your traveling in a pinch. Get 0 calorie butter sprat and put that on your brown rice w/ a dash of salt. MMMMMM! I LOVE IT! Or mix chicken chunks w/ brown rice and Frank's Red Hot! Or salsa! Great ways to add flavor and still be bb friendly!
