Why is pasta not okay for weight loss when there's pasta made out of quinoa and brown rice? Why is the brown rice recommended?

I'd slurp her brown rice and pour my special home-made sausage on her, if you catch my drift

pasta is generally wheat, and i think refined and bleached, meaning all the micronutrients are fucked, and its just a shitty simple carb source. the other pasta youre talking about is never assumed when talking about pasta. apparently you have to cook it differently, too, because i fucked up really bad the one time i tried to make quinoa pasta.
brown rice is recommended over white because white is bleached, so same story as above. Id even recommend black rice because the color indicates the level of phytonutrients in it, although Im not sure how the micronutrients compare to brown rice

In general carb sources like that are not recommended for cutting since they're relatively calorie dense for the amounts people typically eat. Like a single serving of pasta is around 200-250 calories, but doesn't equate to much food once on the plate, increasing the temptation to eat more.
Brown rice is recommended more not because of their phytonutrients, but because of its lower glycemic load, meaning it doesn't spike blood sugar as much and provides more of a steady supply which typically leads to a longer sense of satiety. Some will argue about the fiber content of brown rice, however the difference between white and brown rice in terms of fiber is not hugely significant unless you're eating fucktons of the stuff in a day

pretty much this
I would like to use this thread to also ask, is there anything as being allergic or not being tolerant of quinoa?
Seems a few times I've eaten it with tuna it has gotten me feeling funny on my stomach, maybe just coincidence or other food, I usually also like to put there corn and mayonnese if not cutting

Basmati has virtually the same GI as brown rice, so what other benefits does brown rice have to justify it tasting like shit compared to it?
Because it's carbs. Carbs should be near zero when trying to lose weight. You wanna get ripped or remain a doughy little doughnut
