Is rice fattening?

I know that rice, and bread as well, tend to be starchy and raise your blood sugar fast. So, your blood sugar will rise fast and then crash, making you hungry and want to eat more. But, this depends on the kind of rice that you eat. If you eat the sticky white rice, then it's more fattening than the wild rices. But, gaining weight is mostly about calories in vs calories out. What else has changed since you moved out on your own? Do you exercise less? Are you stressed out more therefore eating more? That might be more of a cause than just eating the rice.

No, I do not think it is fattening at all. But you can remove the most fattening part. Just make sure you rinse it well with warm water to remove the starch. That's what I have always done after par-boiling it. Then it also stores in the fridge easily without being so sticky and clumpy.

Well ever since changing my lifestyle and the way that I eat my new philosophy is that nothing is fattening if you know how to eat it. You don't have to take a big plate of rice to enjoy it. I rarely eat too much rice anymore and now that it's really expensive I'll be eating less I guess.

My husband eat a lot of rice but he's thin, so I think rice is not fattening itself, but if you take too much of it your sugar level will get impacted and thus reducing your metabolism.

opppzzzzz....i think not! i came from phillipines, here we eat our meal 3 times a day with rice, if rice can make you fat, maybe almost of filipinos are already fat.

I dont think that rice is a fattening factor........yes , it fattens you to some extent .......... i suggest you not to consume it in greater amount if you wanna loose fats .......... tc !!!
