Instead of having every meal or most of my meals with brown rice, could I use whole wheat pasta? or even a brown rice cake every now and then? I am just curious.

substitute brown rice for whole wheat pasta?

Technically, yes.
They're both complex carbohydrate sources but the only difference is that whole wheat pasta has gluten where the brown rice does not. Most people have gluten issues, including myself, so I opt out of anything that contains it.
Another option to mix up your complex carbohydrate sources is to try yams or sweet potatoes or Ezekiel bread.

"Layne Norton: No, there is no reason one can’t have white rice, white bread, or the like when trying to lose fat. Most people are so concerned about the glycemic index of these foods that they don't realize the glycemic index is only measured when a carb source is eaten by itself. If you combine the carb source with a protein, fat, and fiber found in a complete meal, the glycemic index is essentially blunted and washed out by the other foods. So if you want white rice, you can have it..."
Yo momma's research methodology is so flawed...

Apparently this isn't far from the truth...according to the book What Belly. I'm reading through it now and although I'm not educated enough to know whether the author's points are valid, he tries to build the case against wheat and gluten. His beliefs and studies show that MANY people suffer ill effects from gluten. Not sure whether I believe it yet...

I apologized for over-speaking and saying "most" rather than "some" or "few."
There is a ton of information on the web regarding the problems with gluten that a lot of people have but are unaware of. I'd love to post some links, but I'm still under my minimum 50 post count so that won't work.
I've had to do a lot of of reading about gluten since I found out years after being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism that I have a hard time digesting it.

Hypothyroidism is one of those things where the symptoms are different for everyone. I have a difficult time with managing my temperature, digesting food, and weight loss while my father, who also has hypothyroidism, has a hard time sweating and raising his heart rate while working out and has no difficulty losing weight.
It could be possible that DH does not have any particular issues with gluten or it could be that he hasn't removed gluten from his diet long enough to feel any different. From what I understand, it takes a considerable amount of time for traces of gluten to be removed from the body and for the side effects to be removed. One of the most noticeable things for me is serious bloating and water retention. That's not exactly something you'd have noticed if it has always been that way.
