Who Can't refuse Rice???

Ok, I have not done much research on rice, so I may not understand, but I thought rice was filling and low in fat and calories.. What about organic brown rice? That would be even better and have a nice nutty flavor to satisfy cravings..

Rice is part of my life as well. I tried eating with no rice like your brother, and it worked for me for about a year, i was very thin then :) but when it was christmas of 2008, there was alot of oily food that i couldn't it without rice and my nice diet was ruined, and until now i can't stop eating rice and i mean alot of rice. before i remember i was just 61 kg, now i am roughly around 70-73kg after 2 years

Hi Letran Knight: I love rice but sure not that much as my little sister does so for me I must say that I can live withou rice for a while even if I eat it at least 4 times a week because in my house we eat it a lot. I love rice when is prepared with something else, there are so many recipes. But just rice, I like it but it's just ok for me. ALVARO

I just can't resist rice. Even if I have very little viand, I can't enjoy it without rice....

People who grow up with a different staple can surely refuse rice with an ease, I know a person who hates rice(he is American) his main staple is potato. You can try brown rice,it has less calories and high in fiber. You can also try replace rice with Cauliflower rice (if you chopped cauliflower in a blender or food processor, and steam or bake it) it tasted like rice and feels like rice. You can search recipes in youtube. I think Filipinos need to be recultured and learn to eat other staples. It can solve obesity and hunger in our country if we have other staple aside from rice. we were rice depended for centuries.

Yes rise may affect the weight. It is yumme. It is hard to refuse it sometimes. but still we should be careful about anything we ear. We shouldn't exagerate.

I have also tried loosing weight but I just can't get through without eating rice, I usually mixed meat with rice and I also put chili's on it, after doing it, my GOD, I finally noticed I can consume all the things that i've cooked.. Here in my country, Rice is one major thing that is needed on our dining table.. despite knowing that I'll get fat with it, I do't know, I just can't control eating it..

i try not to eat it but it seems impossible. Gotta keep trying. I've lessened it to once a week (pig out day)

HI Letran! Since rice is command dish for most Asian, absolutely we can't refused rice in our life. Even if for those people who are in certain diets they still will eat rice a little if not in regular portion. We eat rice everyday and I don't think we can bear with eating bread everyday instead of eating rice. If we say that rice will make a person gain weight I think all food has something to do with gaining and losing weight process. The most important thing we need to care more is the amount intake. I believe that eating any food in correct amount will not give nay effect to the weight. DOn't push ourselves too hard. The more we try to stop eating it the more we crave for it...(^^)

No matter what happens, eating rice is my first priority, Rice, Dal and Potato mash is what I can prepare myself, this is the only one recipe I know. There are so many other dishes I have tasted in my life but Rice and Dal are my most favorite, I eat rice twice a day.

hi LK, Me too..........since this is our staple food it's not easy for us to refuse it we always look for a rice in our meal happy mylotting

I love rice too! But it is actually bad if you eat too much, especially on the long run. I pretty much can eat other things too like Australian dishes but my parents have an asian background and they all cook dishes with rice in it. Rice has a lot of glucose and eating too much can raise your sugar levels which is pretty bad if you have diabetes or on the verge of getting them. My Mum's doctor said that eating to much rice was bad so my Mum has cooked other dishes but we still have rice. I just eat small proportions of rice but top it off with lots of meat and vegetables so they make up most of my dish compared to rice. Also eat other types of food like sandwiches or noodles. I heard that white rice is the worst, so you could choose an alternative like brown rice. I have tried it and it didn't taste all that great but who said healthy food tasted nice? It's always the really unhealthy ones that taste the best Also, exercise is another requirement to stay healthy too, not just eating healthy.

I like to eat rice.I can't have a day without eating rice.I usually have 2 cups in a meal sometimes up to 3 if I really enjoy eating.I'm trying to lessen it too to avoid any circumstances in the future.But for now,I can't help it to eat rice in every meal.Especially when eating in Mang Inasal hehe.

Interesting perspective. Rice, and especially brown rice is very healthy and high in fiber, which is great for overall health. I don't know of anyone gaining weight by eating rice (definitely avoid the white stuff) and in Asia, where rice is consumed widely, the people are usually healthier than where no rice is consumed. With anything though, we want to make sure we are consuming a variety of foods for a variety of nutrients.

I don't think we Asian people can stand without rice. Rice is our staple food. Take away rice and many will be reduced to skin and bones. I have been eating rice since I was a month old where mom used to boil watery rice and smash it finely using a wooden pastle. In those days blender was unheard of. since then I have been eating rice at every meal. Yes, rice has been listed as one of those sinful food to avoid for losing weight but they the diet experts are yet to see the many slim and sexy people of Asia who have eaten rice throughout their life and still maintaining their hourglass figures throughout their old age. Rice isn't the culprit of obesity but the dishes that accompany the rice at every meals.

I can now. Last year actually, i really cannot refuse rice, its like something i need to have to feel full...even hubby. We would eat 3 to four servings of rice!! But this year, i found out my sugar level is high and i need to cut down some stuff that i eat and that would include rice. So i did, i realized that it is all in the mind conditioning. I now only eat rice once a day, its either breakfast or lunch..and none in the evening. I have these supplements to help me not loose the energy i need for work and family..so i did and it is successfully and i lost weight for the good. My sugar level is balance as of now..and hopefully i could still get through it especially the holiday seasons are near!! Imagine all the food in the table! yikes!!

Rice is basic meal for us in Indonesia. I eat rice every day. I won't get my energy if I don't eat rice yet. I can't refuse to eat rice and every one can't do as well. Rice does not give weight to our body. So, we can not deny it with a bunch of reasons.

The reason why they say that you should eat too much rice is because it's very fattening so you gain weight more easily. At least that's what I have been told. I try not to eat too much rice, but it's hard for me because I love mixing a lot of my foods with rice. It's makes almost any meal taste a lot better.

when i cannot eat rice for a day..the following day, i can lots of it..it seems like it's not complete if there is no rice...just the right amount of rice is the best thing to do..not completely without it..or too much of it is not good too..

I really like rice too! i prefer the fried rice with all of the other veggies in it. But the white rice in a bowl of chili is also one of my favorite foods. Especially if the chili has a bit of sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes.
