It all depends on which plan you choose to follow and how long into the plan you've managed to get.
Meaning, most low carb plans have us start the first 2 weeks without any starches or sugars...brown rice is a starch as is any other grain.
after the first 2 weeks, some plans allow for small servings of starch as in brown rice or other whole grain or winter squashes or sweet potatoes.
FYI- a portion of brown rice is 1/4 cup, hardly worth it if you ask me.
