Food for diet?

Hi, reducing carbohydrates probably helps, and you can take more protein-based food to counter the hunger. Actually when you first start reducing your portion, you will feel hungry, but after a while, when your body got adjusted, you will find that the smaller portion is also sufficient. I'm speaking from experience, not from dieting but when I turned vegetarian. I always order extra rice because the vegetables get digested fast, later, I'm used to having smaller portions and now I'm fine.

I´m also trying to lose weight. I´m eating more veggies and take a soup (broth type) to feel less hunger. Whole grains bread is a lot more filling than normal bread. I suppose you can eat a bit of that to curb your apetite ( with the broth, no butter). Take care!

Hi, Since you like to cook,then you can cook alot of dishes for your healthy diet. First, eat more vegetables which helps to lose weight in a way. From my point of view, you still can eat rice,but reduced the quantity of rice you are consuming and eat more vegetable. As for meat,you still can have it once awhile. Try to avoid fried foods and also junk foods. Drink plenty of water,and not to forget to include fruits into your diet menu. For breakfast, you can have something light like sandwiches with fruit juice/milk. For lunch , you can have spaghetti or pasta (have to control the portion that you eat). For dinner, let's back to healthy menu : 1 vegetable with fish and soup,eat with steam rice. Once a while, you can have fried noodle. Or you can cook porridge with different version. Happy weekend !!

Hi curiousplay54 (is it fushigi yuugi?) I also love rice, and it is inevitable for me not to have it at mealtime. Try eating brown rice. They're a bit more expensive than a normal rice but they're good for the health and is better for the digestion and metabolism. Mix one fourth of brown rice with three fourth white rice when cooking it.
