Is eating less rice will make you slimmer?

[wannabepreggy]

Dati no rice din ako pero ngayon di ko kinakaya kaya less rice na lang, sana matagalan ko para mag lose na ko weight .

[jtansanco]

I eat a cup of rice just once a week. I use vegetables as substitute and so far, I'm maintaining my weight. Exercise is also needed.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^really? ano pa other carb/glucose source mo? kasi glucose is the only energy that the brain utilizes eh.

[jtansanco]

^ Glucose can be found in other foods. I also eat 1 pandesal a day, apples, and milk.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^pwede na siguro yun. or if nagstarbucks ka naman lagi bawing-bawi yung no rice mo. 

[jtansanco]

^ Actually, bawi talaga because I love eating SWEETS! Big weakness ko yun so kayod nalang sa gym and basketball! Haha

[iwannabeasupermodel]

hehe. well yun na lang. ako i have no time to go to gym and not really athletic. so i've been on 1 rice for the whole day. which is during lunch. pero this week i'll try mag no rice talaga.

ako nga i love milk tea and coffee pero i avoid now kasi nakataba sila. puro water na lang muna ako. 
panira nga sa diet ko yung mga chocolates na binigay sa akin eh. haaay.

[airish_2]

oo, proven this past month puro ako 1 cup of rice mahirap sa umpisa pero nakayanan rin.

[jtansanco]

^^ Kaya mo ba if milk tea ka lang? My friend's kid was doing a "milk tea diet" (lunch - milk tea LANG) and she lost weight daw. I want to try but wala kasing nutrients ang milk tea and since I need energy for exercise, wag nalang. Haha

[loveann]

sis, i loosed 1 lbs for a week is it okay and normal? 
great achievement since i'm not  eating rice for past 2 weeks and weekly exercise.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^^actually milk tea has lots of sugar di ba? so maybe that's enough? ako i always feel full after drinking milktea. sometimes nga kahit yun na lang for one meal.
i dont think it's right lang though. kasi san ka naman kukuha ng proteins (pero milk is protein din di ba?)? important ang proteins. tsaka fats. hmmm. di ba nga we have fat soluble vitamins, fat is needed to digest them.

[guilleanne]

lahat ng sobra nakakasama talaga. bakit nga ang baka puro gulay/damo lang kinakain, no rice no meat eh lumalaki. hehe. sabi yan ng friend ko na sexy.

kaya ofcourse if you lessen your intake mag lessen din weight. my sexy friend naman only eats rice in the morning, breakfast para daw ma burn nya buong araw.

[crazy_krizsa]

i don't eat rice for dinner and also avoid any carbs during night. for me effective sya. so rice lang ako pag lunch minsan hinde rin. di ko rin kaya na totally wala. ang sarap kaya ng kare-kare at sinigang sa kanin. hehe

[iwannabeasupermodel]

Pero mga sisses ha, if di kayo nagrice pero kain naman kayo ng isang pack of skyflakes then it's all just the same.

Btw ang pasta has less carbs than rice ba?

[freelancer_babe]

^ i agree with you sis with regards to eating other substitutes than rice.

sa akin naman sis yung pasta nakakataba sa akin. it's the sauce that coats the pasta that's fattening, not the pasta itself.

i still eat rice by the way, pero yung rice namin sa bahay may halong red rice for vitamin B. it's healthier for all of us sa bahay.

[mslcgrey]

in my case, ever since lumipat kami sa house namin ni hubby, we started eating brown rice mixed with white rice instead of pure white rice lang. 2 is to 1 ang ratio namin, for every 2 kilos of brown we mix 1 kilo of white. maybe after ilang months pa, we can go pure brown or gusto ko rin mag-try minsan ng red.
what i noticed is i was able to maintain my weight kahit nag-lessen yung time ko for exercise. unfortunately, when we went for a vacation for a week sa bacolod ayun puro white rice so medyo nag-gain. now, trying to lose them and paunti-unti meron naman.

[rinapie]

sa gabi hindi ako nagra-rice pero naka oatmeal na. minsan oatmeal ako from breakfast to dinner. i'll see kung maging effective naman..

question lang sa nagmi-mix ng brown/red sa white rice...gaano katagal niluluto? ang tagal tagal kasi lutuin nang red/brown rice e kaya hindi nawili yung parentals ko pero ipasusubok ko ulit sana.

[gorgeouschef]

try black rice. di hamak na mas masarap compare to brown. :-)

[Hanna1]

mga sisses.. pwede daw isubstitute ang rice o
whole wheat bread sa kamote.
100+ calories, nakakabusog pa and full of nutrients.
kung may fat siya, eh good fat yun.
na kailangan ng body..
haven't tried it yet... I would if my parents allow me.

^aaah ganun pala sis. so pasta is okay naman pala. kasi pansin ko if i eat pasta i feel fuller longer eh compared sa rice. so i though ngayon mas nakakataba siya. 

i think i mentioned this before, nagbrown rice ako and i guess i missed rice a lot i eat a lot of brown rice thus a lot of ulam then boom taba ko na naman! oats na lang talaga ako ngayon except for lunch kasi ayoko magutom sa hapon.
