Is eating less rice will make you slimmer?

[pinkishme]

This is so true.. I did the HCG PROTOCOL which only allows me to eat 500 calories a day... it made me lose more than 25 lbs in as little as 20 days...

sis san ka bumili ng hcg drops? thanks

Parang may mali sa title ng thread:

"Is eating less rice will make you slimmer?"

[petlovah]

Beware lang kasi I've watched somewhere, sabi ng doctor/nutritionist/dietician (i forgot pero in the medical field).. when substituting rice with bread. 2 slices of white bread daw is equivalent to 1 cup of rice... and the 1 cup of rice sa measuring cup, hindi pala daw iyon ang 1 cup na sinasabi. Parang 1/2 cup ng measuring cup ang equivalent nun "1 cup of rice"..

[muahmuahmuah]

@sandalwood nalaman ko na rin what the bread is it's pumpernickel...kasi naman sa box of crayola ko lang naman naalala ang pumpernickel..well sabi its has low glycemic load, low carb bread sya.

anyhow ^ true that you need to watch out for rice substitutes misinformation can lead to useless weight loss practices.

[stebsy]

yes it does.. 

[betsyness]

i've been in a no-rice diet for two weeks now. though i give myself window for cheat days during weekends when i can sneak for a spoon or two of white rice. it certainly makes me feel lighter and i slowly lose weight.

i believe that losing weight must be healthy for it to really be effective and adaptable to be a lifestyle. so i gradually removed rice from my plate from 2cups a day to one cup to no rice. i would only grab a piece of meat and fruits/veggies. no breads and pasta (only on special occasions). so i don't feel deprived. a healthy diet is a happy diet. as the saying goes, slowly but surely.

next thing i must inject in my lifestyle is exercise.

In my point YES. Kaso,ang hirap pigilan. Siguro nakasanayan na kasi. There was a time na nag-try ako ng half cup of rice. Nag lose talaga ako ng weight after a month. Kaso minsan hindi ko din naman napipigilan and napapakain parin ako ng madami. Especially that I work in a call center and nasa night shift ako. hehe.

Maybe for first timers, Yes. What I mean by first timers are those who eat rice naman talaga and just suddenly stop or consume less. Of course it would since cut-off na carb intake.

But in the long run well NOT REALLY   take it from someone who stopped (I mean banned) eating rice 13 years ago. That's me

[Staying_me]

i think yes
di ba sa south beach diet, bawal ang carb, rice is carb so bawal ang rice

ganto daw kasi explanation nyan, kung tama pagkakaintindi ko.

di ba may fat tayo sa katawan.
may carb din.
pag nag eexercise tayo, carb ang unang nabuburn, mabuburn lang ang fat pag ubos na ang carb. so pag tinanggal mo ang pagkain ng carb, pag nag exercise ka, mabuburn ang carb, unti unti at tuloy tuloy nang mabuburn ang carb kasi di na sya nadadagdagan kasi nga d ka na kumakain ng carb. ngayon pag ubos na ang carb, fats naman ang mabuburn. pagkumain ka naman ng carb. carb ulit ang mas mauunang maburn kesa sa mga nauna nang naka stock na fats.

yan yung pagkakaintindi ko ha  sana tama

[miss parker]

yah nakakapayat pag hindi ka nag rrice pero pag masarap ulam..

diet? ano yun? LOLs

[kcjane]

masasabi ko lang it should be a lifestyle change... ako i gradually erase the rice in may diet...from kain walang bukas to 1/4 cup of rice... ang laki talaga ng pinayat ko as in 26 pounds in 4 months naman un ha... sinamahan ko din ng jogging and jump rope.. tapos no sodas at all... now im enjoying my 100lbs weight... and syempre tuloy tuloy pa din ang mga nasimulan ko..

[sandalwood]

^wow!!! thats great sis! ask ko lang, what about bread and biscuits? or chocolates? how often do you have those in that 4-month duration?

[trishpassing]

I believe this is true. My professor used to be fat, as in fat. But then after some months, I saw him again and he's so payat! Like he losts 30lbs or more. I then asked his secret and he told me he erased rice in his daily food intake.

Ako, I am having a hard time doing this. But I tried not eating an entire week and I was able to wear my bikini the following weekend. Discipline pa din.

[aceofhearts]

Just started this method again. Just one rice for the whole day which is lunch. Sandwich (wheat) and fruits in the morning and papak nalang ng ulam at night.  Hope i'll feel light again. 

[chiz_06]

yes eating less rice will make you slimmer...ginawa ko to dati nung uber taba ako...kaso yung sakin as in no rice at all for 8 mos...wheat bread lang then mga granola bars for snack no coke, no juice din water lang...from 160 pounds to 115 pounds...as in lahat ng nakakita sakin nagulat talaga..no exercise pa yan...yun nga lang pangit sa may tummy area ko...even my sister mataba siya nag no rice diet siya slim na siya ngayon....tyagaan at tiis lang talaga....=)

[super bratinella]

Absolutely no rice for 2 years and 6months exactly today, as in no rice, mahal lang talaga ang ganitong diet kasi high maintenance in my case I learned to eat ulam alone as in kahit gulay, para iwas temptation. I would probably eat brown rice again once I got pregnant as my hubby insist.

[pinkk]

I indulge on one meal cup rice 3-4 x a week only. If i consume it daily ,mabilis akong tumaba in a weeks time.

[foxygirlash]

i have friends who tried this and it works for them sumasakit ulo ko pag walang rice, pramis!

[anjfree]

[BAISANAN]
