If you look at the carbohydrate levels of different grains, you will see the following (I'm taking this from the Atkins chart):
all portion sizes are 1/2 cup
potatoes - 15.4g
lima beans - 21.2g
black beans - 20.4g
garbanzo beans - 22.5g
lentils - 19.9g
navy beans - 23.9g
kidney beans - 19.8g
rice - 22.3g
pasta - 19.8g
As you can see, most beans and pasta average around 20g per half cup, and rice is at 22g. Potatoes are only 15g. When you take the portions up to a standard meal-sized portion, the differences become even greater.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Mass-produced sliced bread is gross. Fresh tasty bread is delicious.

Don't lose weight quickly! It's weight fluctuation that's bad for you.
