Is eating less rice will make you slimmer?

[junichi406]

i beg to disagree. eating less rice or eating less carbs will make you slimmer.
kapag wala ng carbs, fats na ang ibuburn ng body natin..
thus, it will make you slim.. tummy area talaga agad target nito.. 

I need to know what foods you eat? can you list down your weekly intake of food?

What do you use as a substitute for rice? nothing? just ulam?
What do you eat after lunch and dinner?
Are you exercising? What do you do?

[junichi406]

me too.. i want..

zero calorie rice is modified rice with possible side effects. Just like Coke Zero, 0 Calories which really isnt true at all

Whoa! slowdown there. demanding?

anyway, to answer your overwhelming queries,
nga pala, this thread says less rice, not no rice at all.. gets?
i eat what i want, everything in moderation..
i don't exercise at all..

[chinkee]

I guess the weightloss depends on the case...

Ive tried replacing rice with bread (2 slices).. and hindi naman talaga ako nabawasan ng weight.. pero hindi din naman nadagdagan hehe...

Ive also tried a no rice diet pero kain pa rin ako ng chips and chocolate.. so wala din effect..

Pero ngayon, i tried to be more disciplined.. very very less rice (around 3tbsp a day or none at all) and more lean meat and veggies instead.. dun ko nakita yung weight loss. I guess eating less carbs "may help" you lose weight.. pero it all boils down to discipline..

And to all those who are finding it hard to eliminate the rice... basta paunti unti niyo bawasan yung rice bawat meal until wala na.. hehe.. it took me about 1-2 months to do that..

gets! Im asking questions which is good, it teaches people to ask and ask and ask and ask...
to get to bottom line. 

im still sticking to the thread....the thread never quantified the amount of rice, less rice could also be almost no rice at all. just for laughs

^ the "less rice" thing kasi varies on each individual depende sa consumption mo yun e. parang kumbaga, if dati nakaka-3cups ka, ngayon 1.5 cups nalang, so it varies kaya wala rin siguro nakakapagsabi ng exaktong sukat gaya ng hinahanap mo

you have a point, less rice could mean almost no rice for some din. pero may ganun bang pinoy? as in kaya talagang alang rice? im just wondering hehe! kasi ako hinahanap na talaga ng katawan ko ang rice hahaha!

[sweetylicious143]

ako since febuary hindi na ko nag rice

[beautywhite]

 Eating less rice is surely ok for those who wanted to lose weight.From day 1,today,I lost 8.8 lbs already.I eat anything,if I eat rice ,4 tablespoon or I eat wheat bread instead. A slice of wheat bread is equivalent to a half rice.

[gab54]

for me, pag nag less rice or no rice ako, ambilis ng weight loss. kaya lang bibigay rin ako after a few weeks so i would gain them back. hay...

True, coke zero is just a hoax.

In General, eating less rice MAY make you slimmer.

The Rule for losing weight is:

When Output Calories (burned) is more than Input Calories (what you eat) you lose weight.

3500 calories = 1lb of fat.

Now you would have to know what kind of effect does white rice have on you. if you notice that you are losing weight when you cut down rice then so be it. cut the intake.

if you're an active person, what you can do is "eat on demand".  meaning eat more carbs or rice before your activity.

(oh man, rice is so good before a very very heavy work out. look at the kargadors sa pier. they eat so much rice but they're lean.)

and eat less after. eat just enough to recover. imho dieting is really trial and error in some aspects. but once kilala mo na sarili mo. set for life ka na.

[akthung]

Kasi companies take advantage of "0.09" or something. Basta may zero yun na yun.

No such thing as zero calorie rice. Unless nakikisinghot ka lang ng amoy ng rice lol

[pomegranate]

I asked the dietician, since we are counting my calorie intake per day eons ago, zero cal daw talaga Coke Zero. Ang problema siguro is its aspartame content that happens to be carcinogenic. Sana nga maging parehas na dito yung sa Japan which uses stevia in their Diet Coke.
Anyway, totoo yun yung sa rice namention ko na yata dito. Half cup lang dapat ang sa akin (provided na 5 meals a day) but I understand that for those of us who are busy and working who cannot eat every now and then, ang hirap ng walang rice. It works best if humanap kayo ng substitute that will work for you. Sa akin roti and pita bread, and Greek and Indian cuisine works for me since sobrang flavorful. Yesterday a cup of lentil soup lang solve na ako kahit walang effort na magpigil on my part. In one week, obvious na pumayat agad ako kahit na walang exercise (which I don't advise). Iwas muna ako sa Pinoy food kasi may tendency akong mag hoard ng rice lalo na pag karekare at sisig st dinuguan.
Also, congruent to one of the theories in eating, I observed that there is some truth in saying that eating is honed by habit. If nasanay ka na half-cup lang, then you will tend to stick to it.

[snooky]

@akthung ah that's true, pag 1 calorie or less you can state it as 0 calories. Pero di naman "Hoax" tulad ng sinabi ng ibang posters.

@pomegranate japan uses stevia? That's awesome!
Years of study have been made and there has been no solid proof of aspartame being linked to cancer. But hey, everything around us can cause cancer to some degree.

Diet sodas are true and not a hoax. They contain 1 calorie or less.

[babyjapnurse01]

0 cal naman talaga ang coke, ang inaavoid lang ng consumers why they dont want those kind of sodas with artificial sweeteners is the ASPARTAME content, an artificial sweetener na carcinogenic daw.

So yea, its not right to say naman na its a hoax. Bago naman irelease sa market yan tested naman na ng bfad and fda yan so hindi sila pwede magclaim na 0cal yun kung hindi naman talaga. Hindi naman tayo nasa olden ages na walang agency na nagtetest ng mga products before it gets released sa market.

come on people wag na tayo magbatuhan ng harsh comments here, diet lang pinaguusapan dito.

I totally agree with akthung, wala naman kasi sa intake LANG ang pagpapapayat, weight gain per se is secondary to the calories you consume from food na hindi nabburn, so nasstore sa katawan.

[junichi406]

I think its a good debate, I want to say many things.

Re: HOAX, we people may have a different interpretation for this. Some people may think its too personal to say this but this is a forum under (health&wellness,diet&nutrition), so I think its okay.
Soda's are in a different category rin, what the bfad and fda approves are products good for consumption of the society. And good for consumption would not mean healthy foods kasi kung healthy foods yan almost every food we eat siguro bawal na. Tapos in terms of categorizing healthy foods. Ibang usapan na yan. How do we categorize these foods? Very long topic indeed that involves politics and money.

Good topic 

Im in favor kasi of eating what your body needs(nutrition) not the wants. Mahabang usapin ito. I must admit the filipinos have poor eating habits thats why we die early.

[shatygabrielle]

 It is very effective to me after i gave birth konti lang rice sa meal ko thats why i lose weight agad.

[Gabrielle Andre]

depende rin...lets say you cut down on your rice intake pero binawi mo rin ang calories sa ibang bagay and u still have the same lifestyle..hindi ka rin maglolose ng weight

but if you cut down your rice intake, paired with a healthy, balanced diet, exercise and a more active lifestyle, guaranteed you will lose weight.

I did that, and from May 16 to June 4, Ive lost a total of 6Kilos

[sweet.trish]

wow Gabrielle Andre, kakainspire ka naman.

naku nakalimutan ko na naman magtimbang kanina sa clinic! diet na rin ako sa rice eh. pero antakaw ko sa chocolates! waaaah!

[babyphat]

yes for me. pero hindi na kasi ako kumakain ng rice for 2weeks na. pero tingin ko naglose naman ako ng weight. malakas kasi magpataba ang carb. so ako, iniiwasan ko talaga carb.
