That being said, there is a growing body of evidence showing that the anti-nutrients in grains are substantial enough to warrant elimination of them from a healthy diet.
As carbohydrates, the insulin release they stimulate stops your body from burning fat (and in fact, causes it to store fat instead).
Just wanted to address these 2 points. For the first one, anti-nutrients in grains are largely negated by both cooking and/or processing. White bread, white rice, white flour, etc., will have little to no anti-nutrients in them. And if you're concerned about a spike in blood sugar, then combine processed grain with a protein and/or fat source.
As for your second statement above, protein also causes an increase in insulin. The only food group that does not stimulate an increase in insulin is pure fat.
