It was a bad time for me. When you are an Asian person trying to cut out white rice, suddenly eating becomes more costly. When you have white rice as an option, everything falls into place. Some bonito shavings and an egg, and some white rice in the cooker, and you have a great meal. If you cut out white rice, things become challenging and you look towards... bread? brown rice? (blech)

I'm back on white rice, with plenty of energy while on the bike. I would never cut carbs from my diet considering how much I ride. If I do cut my riding, then of course I'd lessen the carbs.
