How do you get rid of RICE on your diet, fast?

I could never give up rice! I love it. But there are differing opinions about it being healthy or not, fattening or not. Here is a site that may help you decide for yourself: www.healthmeup.com/news-weight-loss/diet-basics-is-rice-fattening/6767 Good luck with your workouts!

There is someone for you as a company! Even here also rice is our main stuff to each and eat a lot too! Just like you, I also tried to reduce some extra fats and think all the day for it, but don't do exercise. I used to tell that 'tomorrow onwards I will start ...', and justs before finishing the words, my daugher will complete the sentence..., and will say that 'from the last 13 years I am hearing from your mouth'. ahahahah She always say this and my wife would repeat the samy by saing for the last 18 years..... But I really think of doing something to reduce the excess fat and now I feel much irritated with the extra obesity and feel hate on it.... I think after 3-4 months I will do something better (now it is confidential)

We are on the same boat sis. I want to lose my extra fats too. It is hard for me because my work is always in front of computer and I seldom walk. Anyway, just two days ago I decided to cut rice intake. Extra carbohydrates that are not use by our body is just converted to fats that is. I asked my husband if we can just have a no-rice dinner. During nights, our metabolism is slower and because after meal, I just sleep, the carbohydrates I had from rice will just be fats.

Hi. First congradulations on the new arrival. I just read your post. I am the mother of a 5 year old and an almost 1 year old. I am still loosing weight, especially around my stomach and waist. But I have been exercising as well as dieting and have managed to loose most of the weight I gained during pregnancy. I started a discussion about this and I am providing the link here. Hope it helps you change your eating pattern and loose the extra kilos you have put on during pregnancy. Do not get rid of rice but cut down the protion. All you need is will power to look and feel good. That is more than 50% of your work done. Good luck. And here is the link http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2680996.aspx Hope this helps.

Try potatoes instead of an oatmeal. Or if you can't really cut down on rice, try getting a brown rice instead.

If I can only avoid rice..but no i can't esp. when the viand is irresistible. What I do is, I eat rice in the morning, little for lunch and little for dinner..I'm still observing the effects of Carbtrim (hehe).. Anyway there are other sources of carbs, that I'm careful too..

It is hard especially we are primarily depended on it every meal we take. I started to to reduced my intake but admittedly I still eat some rice. I started it at work where I do not eat rice during lunch break anymore. I either eat meat or fish but no rice there. It helped me somehow reduce weight but since I still eat rice I think the result was not that significant.

You can cut it down slow if you happened to eat 2 cups of rice you can lessen it every day by 1 1/2 then 1 cup and so on. I also don't eat rice at night bread or soup is fine with me. Above all this is determination if you really want to succeed in having a sexy body.

it is hard actually but i was able to minimize rice and not totally remove it as it is essential too. I did minimize it my friend, before i could eat more than 3 cups of it lol now i am satisfied with one.

I have to tell you, I have been eating brown rice every day for weeks now and little else and I am LOSING weight. If you want to lose weight cut out meats and fats. It is even better to exercise regularly and drink lots of water. Don't forget to have a little fruit each day.

You can never replace rice, specially because it's our staple food. Just eat rice in small amount, maybe 1/2 cup of rice every meal will do. But again, you cannot get rid of it..we been eating it since our childhood which created a great impact in our lives.

I cut it out by using barley. It doesn't go with everything but it goes with a lot. Since it has more protein and fiber it helps with the dieting. That and I just cut the amount I take by half. Good luck!

When I was pregnant with my second child, I had gestational diabetes. I didn't have to completely take rice out of my diet, but I did have to cut down on it A LOT. When the doctors told me this, I said are you crazy - I am Asian and I need my rice - ha ha!! Well, I was allowed to have 1/3 cooked rice per lunch or dinner - but that's it. Brown rice was preferable in this strict diet - but oh I love my white rice. Brown rice is more nutritious and sits in your stomach longer - it's better for you. My mom got this rice that is partially brown .. . I don't know the name of it or anything - but it was the best alternative I've ever had. If anything, you don't have to give up your rice completely . . . but do cut down on the amount. Do that for a while and see if it actually makes a difference. I know oatmeal wouldn't be satisfying for me in place of rice.

I heard the rice is not good thing for fat people and rice is increased the weight. But where the main food is rice then I think this thought is not suitable. Try to avoid rice for some days and check your weight.

Mix your rice with other foods (meats, potatoes, veggies, whatever) instead of having each type of food on separate plates. Not sure if it'll work, but maybe you'll be able to trick your brain into thinking the amount of rice is larger than it actually is.

It is definitely true that when you are trying to lose weight, it is important to get rid of a lot of carbohydrates in your diet and white rice is definitely one of those things that you should eliminate because it will turn into sugar in your body and doesn't add very much nutritional value. So, if you find that you are not able to enjoy a meal without having rice with your meal, I would suggest that you try eating brown rice instead as it is more healthy and will also fill you up faster than white rice.

Since you've been doing exercise for months now and all you need to do is a little more discipline on your self. There's no way one can get rid of ride if your not eager enough to remove it from your diet. If you cannot do it in an instant, why not try gradual removal. Such as eating only a half rice in the morning, then no rice in lunch, then another half cup at dinner. the you can remove the half cup at dinner. until you can removed it to in breakfast.

Just stop eatting rice . Maybe, its just me but I dont eat a lot of rice to begin with. Try eatting more veggies, or replacement, I never knew rice was that dattening.

Try to eat brown rice. It is full of fiber and minerals unlike white rice. It is actually the original rice that we have in the Philippines before the Americans introduced the well-milled rice (white rice). I have tried it. We bought it from the supermarket, it's 44.50 pesos/kl. I love the texture of the brown rice.It makes you chew more and yet it tastes good. When you cook it, you need to soak it in water for at least 30 mins before cooking to make it softer.

How about substituting some part of rice with vegetable or fruit salad?
