Is eating less rice will make you slimmer?

[mondimonds]

yes, i can say that it's true.  I've been on a "no rice for dinner" diet for almost 3 weeks now and a lot of my colleagues have noticed that it's working.  They kep asking what my diet consists of, coz they feel that it's effective.  Milo lang for brekkie, then I have rice and ulam for lunch. For dinner, alternate ko lang ang hard boiled egg, banana, salad, or soup.  Lose weight talaga, pwede na kong bumili ulit ng mga medium na dresses, all this time laging large or minsan XL.  konti pa pwede na ulit mag-small size. =)

nakakaliit ng tummy!
haha..pero ang hirap uh..
infairness..nakakaumay yung ulam lang..

[purple_rain0721]

^ hehe masasanay ka din sis.    or kahit sabayan mo ng isang kutsarang rice

@ mondimonds: same here sis, hard boiled egg or soup

[akthung]

simple lang naman ang concept ng weight loss and gain.

Eat more calories than you burn...tataba ka

Burn more calories than you eat...papayat ka.

yung iba kasi na malakas sa rice. hindi namamalayan na nakakatatlong cups na sila. ilang hundred calories na yun.

sedentary people din kasi have inefficient metabolism. kahit "clean" yung foods, hindi maganda ang pag burn..mabagal that is. look at michael phelps, ilang pizza ang kinakain nun.

[mondimonds]

^ korek, depende nga sa metabolism.

@purple_rain0721 mabuhay ang hard-boiled egg! hehe.

[liyapot]

bawas rice din ako.. we have this chinese style cup na may takip don nakalagay ang rice namin.. for breakfast i eat half lang ng laman ng cup...
for lunch dito sa office i don't eat rice.. if i do eat rice for lunch i make sure na 1/2 lang din..
for dinner.. i make it a point na 1/4 lang ang kakainin ko dun sa cup namin.

i've been doing this for almost 2 weeks na... lumiit na yung tyan ko.. at nagkaron na ako uli ng leeg ahahahha!
hopefully ma-continue ko

Hello guys...i just want to share my experience regarding this 'rice' diet... I am currently in a 'no rice' diet for almost 2 years na..as in no rice for the whole day..and i can say na effective siya but mahirap talaga sa umpisa..good thing is that may kasabay ako mag start ng 'no rice' diet but yung kasabay ko hindi na din nakayanan..lucky for me kasi nung nag stop na siya sa 'no rice' eh adjusted na yung system ko na walang rice...i just supplement rice with wheat bread,pasta...kasi based dun sa nabasa kong article rice (which is plain white rice) pag na-metabolize na siya magiging sugar na lang siya because it is simple carbs unlike yung mga wheat bread or maybe the brown rice which is more nutritious than the white one...kaya yung mga hindi talaga kaya na walang rice maybe have the brown one yun nga lang more expensive yun...and of course exercise din and healthy foods talaga and healthy lifestyle as well...

[Evo29]

Napansin ko lang pag kumakain ako ng kanin parang minamanas ako  , tapos sobra-sobra pagpapawis ng kamay at paa ko. Meron ba nakaka-experience ng ganito mga sis? Kaya now tinatry ko na talagang bawasan intake ko ng kanin, more on vegetables and fruits nalang..

[purple_rain0721]

@ mondimonds: haha! korek! 

@  socxymom: 2 years?! wow sis! as in kahit 1 tablespoon? bongga ka sis!

@ xchie: ok yang jog ka while watching a movie.  i'll try that too. 

@ liyapot: hehe! go go sis! ako naman lumiit ang mga kapatahan.  naging baggy pants na nga yung mga jeans ko. 

@ Evo29: hindi naman kaya may kinalaman sa diabetes... wag naman sana.  pa-check up ka sis para sure. 

[redpill]

matestingan nga ang less rice, kasi parang lumalabas na muffintops ko.. usually kasi 1 to 2.5 cups ako per meal eh.. ma-rice ako kesa ulam.. no wonder..

[cosmic girl]

i did this before and i must say effective sya [textspeak!], but dati yun and now happy rice eater ulit ako but sad nman waistline ko...

i need to do this again nga ulit....

[Evo29]

@ purple_rain0721: Naku kinabahan naman ako dun, wag naman sana. Tama ka sis masmakakabuti kung magpapacheck up ako baka kung ano na to.

[qt_ben17]

nagawa ko dati ang no rice diet, for almost 2 months din. kaso masyado akong mabilis magburn ng calories, masyado akong pumayat hindi maganda tingnan. kaya balik to 1/2 cup rice per meal.

[akthung]

wala namang masama mag no rice eh kasi yung mga puti hindi naman sila nagririce. kelan lang yan mga natuto mag rice.

[socxymom]

@  socxymom: 2 years?! wow sis! as in kahit 1 tablespoon? bongga ka sis!

yup sis 2 years na...actually dapat 3 na,hehe..kaya lang when i got pregnant last year siyempre nag rice ulit ako for my baby and nung hindi na ko nagbreastfeed balik na ulit ako sa 'no rice'...funny nga eh kasi nung nag rice ulit ako parang ayaw na tanggapin ng taste buds ko yung rice parang bagong food na siya sakin kasi nga sobrang adjusted na ko sa no rice...discipline lang talaga and determination...hehe...

[peaceinsolitude]

It works. I did this before.

Breakfast: One banana
Snack: Protein shake (Herbalife)
Lunch: Either one serving of Oatmeal with apple or Banana OR One can of tuna in water.
Merienda: Almonds, Kiwi or Apple
Dinner: Protein Shake(Herbalife)

In fairness I lost a great amount of weight. Kasi together with a 15minute run in the morning, I lost at least 1lb a day.

I did it for 20 days. Pagtapos nun One rice a day na uli ako. Grabe yun my muscles became toned and ang ganda ng pagpayat ko. Di halatang mabilis ang pagpayat ko kasi walang sag ang skin. Siguro dahil sa Herbalife and healthy yung mga kinakain ko.

Remember kahit nagdididet tayo mga sis, need pa din ng body natin ang vitamins. If tatangalin natin lahat. Papangit tayo! it would sho. Skin pa lang halata na

[erriane]

Wow..good for you sis.. hehe..
sana ako din..
*cheers to Herbalife..
having Strawberry Vanilla as of this moment.. 

[socxymom]

also, is it true that cold water will help you lose weight?

actually sis it will help but not in a major way.. i remember my nutrition prof told us na yung cold water nga nakakatulong sa pagbawas ng timbang...parang yung concept niya is magpapakulo ka ng tubig..mas madaming gas kang kailangan pag yung iinit mo ay malamig na tubig than sa warm water na...mas malaking energy ng katawan natin ang magagamit to metabolize yung cold water than warm water...ganun lang..hehe...

[jafi19]

^^Sis, baka you need to vary your workout?

[Evo29]

Hi mga sis update ko lang . One week ko nang ni-lessen rice intake ko, kasama narin ang less salt, less sugar, less red meat. Oatmeal (original), vegetables, fruits and hard boiled egg, chicken breast lang mga kinakain ko at so far from the last time na nagweigh in ako, 5 lbs na nabawas sa akin. Nagjogging/walking din ako pero hindi everyday, tsaka inincrease ko din water intake ko.

Gusto kong ituloy tuloy na to hanggang masanay na katawan ko sa healthy lifestyle. Napansin ko rin pala na gumaan na yung pakiramdam ko, wala na yung feeling ng pagmamanas tsaka pagpapawis.
