Is eating less rice will make you slimmer?

[urfabgirl]

tama yan sis.

i lessen rice intake as well and just eat wheat bread most of the time together with salads and veggies, i am able to maintain my weight at 95 lbs even with just simple stretching in the morning and before going to bed

carbohydrates will make your body retain water. its possible to lose 15 lb and water lang yun and not fat. so its possible na by restricting carbs, maaaring nabawasan lang yung water ng katawan and not fat.

[linacheng]

yes it will make you slimmer, pero also include exercises and no junk foods and sodas

[petlovah]

i feel so big now because of increase in rice/soda/junkfood intake and this makes me feel bad. now, i dont know what my remedy will be because i have no time due to busy work. 

[pinay_superstar]

yes, definitely. worked for me before when i was still working in Makati. payat, model payat. literally no rice. namamapak lang ako ng ulam. sa una mahirap pero pag nasanay ka na, even though wala kang kinakain na rice parang feeling mo full meals pa rin ang intake mo.

kaya lang now after having two sons and staying sa province. i cant seem to do it anymore,yung less rice intake. sarap kasi ng rice dito sa province. di ko mapigilang kainin. sobra!

i love rice. usually 1-2 cups ako. but for the last week and a half, i cut down to half a cup.  minsan (mga 2 days so far) 1 - 1 1/2 cup.  i just take 2 full meals, but when i get hungry, especially around midnight, i just eat a slice (or two) of wheat bread with my fave strawberry jam.  i haven't done any cardio or other exercise, but i've lost 4-5 pounds.

i started not eating rice last Jan 1, that's my new years resolution until I reach my weight goal. puro ulam, bread or pasta lang kinakain ko, nasanay na ko na walang rice. hopefully magtuloy tuloy na kasi gusto ko na talagang pumayat.

[showermist]

if you binge on pasta or bread too, it'sjust the same as taking in rice.

[jack_3476]

i think its effective, although mahirap gawin. needs a lot of discipline talaga.

[aceofhearts]

i used to do this before, sky flakes/wheat bread substitute ko for rice. More on salads ako, ulam and fruits. Pinandigan ko siya for months and Im happy sa result.  determination, patience and focus on your goal lang mga sis! kayang kaya yan!

I am so happy cause this coming Jan 26, it has been two years na since I stopped eating rice and drinking softdrinks. I started last 2008. Then January of 2009, I decided not to eat Junkfoods na rin and drink coffee.

Dapat this 2011, I am supposed to start to be a vegetarian kaso nagagalit na si hubby. So hindi ko na tinuloy.

Goodluck to all of us!

hi mga sis, pajoin here. i also want to lessen my rice intake although i admit na mahirap for me [textspeak!] rice lover talaga ko parang inde complete un araw ko pag walang rice intake. Medyo hirap din ako humanap ng better alternatives kasi hinde ako mahilig sa bread and cereal or oatmeal. Mas ok ba kung pasta na lang?

[super bratinella]

^Brown rice sis, is the better alternative. Kasi pasta mataas din ang carbo content same lang ng rice.

[socxymom]

i agree with super bratinella..brown rice is good alternative...ako din almost 3 years ng walang rice...2 years straight and then got pregnant kaya back to rice then 1 year ulit ngayon after giving birth...but i really can't give up coffee...addicted to it...hehe...
sis odyssey,basta wag mo muna biglain yung sarili mo,bawasan mo muna yung rice mo hanggang makapag adjust na yung system mo then if you think kaya na then tsaka mo na alisin...discipline and strong motivation talaga ang kailangan sis...goodluck sis...

[annn]

yep sis rice is culprit, actually white rice isnt even good for diabetics..
any white stuff is bad for dieting/weight loss

[super bratinella]

That is right walang biglaan kasi it is hard to maintain kung hindi ready ang sarili. In my case what I did for two weeks before not eating rice, I ate all that I want to eat, lahat ng bawal sa diet, at sobrang dami ng servings. I even finished 1L of coke before the day of my No Rice diet, at lahat ng favorite ko kinain ko talaga, no limit!

[iloveshoes88]

I did this before super laki ng pinayat ko nag shrink ako from L to M. May times pa na small sizes can fit me. I was studying back then, I really don't eat rice, I remember and daily meal ko is like

AM: Half of tinapay na putok
Lunch: Nesvita sometimes 2 3pcs pack of Creams or Cream O crackers
PM: Nesvita minsan wala.

Ayun ang payat ko, eh gimikera pa ko nun almost every friday/saturday dance until madaling araw. Pero now, I still don't eat rice na pero wala na ngyayari I'm large again, XL na nga eh. Hirap gawin ng ginawa ko dati. I tried doing it again last December pero when I went running, nahilo ako after, di ko na ata kaya ang crackers/nesvita diet. hehe.

[brattinella]

yes definitely! after the holidays, i ate less rice na... and yes, no in between meals (10am & 3pm breaktime)

Congratulations sis! How much na yung nabawas na weight mo if you don' t mind me asking? Sana magawa ko din yan.
Ako naman since i' ve started my diet ( Oct 2010) of eating less rice, salt, sugar, and cut off junk foods and processed narin up to end of last year 10 lbs na nabawas sakin. Now kumakain na ulit ako ng normal food pero less rice padin with an hour of walking for at least 3x a week so far namemaintain ko naman. Pasok na ako sa normal body weight range ko, and next target ko is to lose the last remaining 10 lbs to reach my healthy weight, hope magsucceed ako!

[odyssey_gal]
