I require vids of said sweaty man-hugs.
Push and pull, you and I appear to be coming at the rice thing from different angles.
Is brown more nutritious? Absolutely. Does this matter? That depends.
If you're a whole-food vegan and derive more than half your daily calories from rice, then yes, it's important.
If you're a non-athlete who is trying to avoid becoming obese by eating foods that are more filling, then again, brown rice might be more helpful than white. IMO you should still be looking toward meat and veg for most of your calories, but there you have it.
If you're a well-nourished bodybuilder using rice as an appropriate carbohydrate choice, either will do. You aren't getting much of your nutrition from rice anyway. You've got so much surplus, the smidgen of extra fibre and the odd micronutrient you're getting from the brown might not be worth the bother. If you're a hardgainer and have trouble getting in enough calories, stick with white rice - it's less filling. If you're dieting and trying to feel fuller, use the brown.
The satiety one feels after a meal is referred to as postprandial satiety. In normally insulin-sensitive people (ie young males who have never been fat), postprandial satiety is high after a carbohydrate meal - the insulin response triggers this satiety response, leptin comes up, ghrelin goes down, and you feel fed.
Here's the kicker: we used to look at high-GI foods as the bad guys. This meant that frustose was considered a healthy choice, since it barely registers an insulin response. Sounds good, right? Except that in healthy normals, that very same insulin response stimulates satiety. Eat something with fructose in it, and that ordinary insulin response is blunted, and the satiety response is impaired. This means that a diet high in fructose can make even a healthy-normal overeat, since the normal satiety response that says "okay, dude, you can stop eating now" doesn't kick in with the insulin response.
Thus a "good" carb is a carb that has little or no fructose in it.
Rice - brown OR white - has little or no fructose.
Table sugar, fruit, fruit juice, and soda pop contains fructose. Thus fruit juice is a "bad" carb, just like any of the other fructose-containing choices.
One of my favourite post workout carbs is kheer, an Indian style rice pudding, that I make with white rice, skim milk and dextrose.
Got Built? » Kheer – it’s not just for bodybuilders anymore…
Works a charm - good carbohydrate, virtually no fructose, very low fat, perfect.
