Is eating less rice will make you slimmer?

[sacred cow]

a) skip breakfast
b) eat mixed pork/beef/chicken and vegetables for lunch
c) eat your normal meal for dinner, kahit mag 2 rice ka pa

[bluish_mommy]

^skip breakfast? i thought it's the most important meal of the day? I can't do this, mas nakakaya ko hindi magdinner kesa hindi magbreakfast, but I don't eat rice as well, I eat fruits or bread for breakfast.

[vainmode]

nakaka 1 month nako na no rice, but I still eat pasta and bread. Medyo lumuwang na nga yung ibang clothes ko. Iba talaga yung effect pag no rice. And tama yung isang sis natin dito, nawala yung bloated na feeling. Sana tuloy tuloy na

[lilstar]

Nakaka 3 months na ako., from 71kgs i'm down to 67kgs. Napansin ko din na madali ko na lang isuot mga masisikip kong damit dati, and so far, dumami na ulit damit ko kasi nasusuot ko na sila ulit. Ang saya.,

Ako kasi di ko sya tinanggal totally, i have cheat day / week or depende kung gusto ko tumikim ng kanin, pero ang sure lang dun e di na ako araw araw nag ra-rice. Kaya natin to sis. Tyaga lang at samahan ng exercise like squats and yoga.

Very effective for me. After giving birth, I gained a lot of weight kasi lumakas ako kumain ng kanin. My OB suggested that I eat little to no rice kasi concerned din sya sa weight ko. Bumalik kasi yung weight ko nung preggy ako para akong may baby pa rin.

I only ate a small amount of rice every meal nung una para naman hindi ako mahilo then gradually binawasan ko hanggang inalis ko na. Kinaya ko naman kasi lumakas ako sa ulam hehe pero OK naman ang result.

I lost the weight I gained and am now back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Now, I still eat rice sometimes pero hindi na ganun kadami. So far na-maintain ko na rin pre-pregnancy weight ko.

[chubbycheeks]

Yes! This has always worked for me in losing weight. I just can't maintain it.

[CaraLuisa]

2 days ng di ako nagrice sa unchbreak sa work eh napansin na nila agad na pumayat ako.  Now nasa 1 week na or more ako na ganito, di ko pa nachecheck yung weight ko pero for sure na pumayat ako kasi dami na kasya ulit sakin na damit. pero di naman ako strict sa diet ko, minsan nag ririce pa rin pero pansin ko na kumonti appetite ko, busog na ko agad. sana magtuloy tuloy na. kasi ilang beses na ko nag ganito, tas nagwowork naman kaso bumabalik sa rice at softdrinks kaya nataba ulit haha

For those looking for a rice alternative try quinoa. high in fiber and protein. It's a great substitute for rice!

I'm 15 years old and I'm overweight, no scratch that, obese. 87kg ako. And I tried the No rice diet dati before my prom, pero nakayanan ko lang until 5 days but sa five days na yun i lost 2lbs, with moderate excercise (like 20-30 mins only everyday? sobrang tamad talaga kasi ako)

I'm doing the No rice diet again starting today! Wish me luck! Magcocollege na ako at sana pumayat ako atleast 60kg! Kahit overweight basta hindi obese hahaha super rice eater pa naman ako. Like, i can eat 2 pieces of pork and then 1 cup na kaagad. Hahaha. Sana makasanayan ko na! I heard somewhere na if you can do it in 2 weeks, di mo na siya icrcrave. Hahaha. Well, goodluck sakin!

[chubbycheeks]

^ kaya mo yan, sis! my sis was also overweight up until 2 yrs ago. Nag- no rice diet sya in preparation for our bro's wedding. Na-maintain nya yun for 1 year.  Nung nag-rice na uli sya, fortunately for her, di naman bumalik yun weight nya. I guess her body just needed that push.

[super bratinella]

No RICE going to 6years!! no cheating..

[bluish_mommy]

^wow! bilib ako! ako minsan yung tirang kanin (siguro mga 1-3 subong kutsara) ng anak ko kinakain ko, nakakapanghinayang kasing itapon... kaya pag sinasandukan ko sya ng pagkain sa plato, konti lang muna hehe

[super bratinella]

^sis, hindi naman ako sobrang payat at sexy. Tama lang siguro with 3 kids (14yrs old ang eldest) at kapapanganak ko lang last year ang current weight ko, struggle ko lang ang tummy, since lahi naman namin ang pusunin at medyo malaman so for me effective ang pinagagawa ko kasi kasya sa 14yrs old ko mga damit ko at kasya rin sa 7years old kung anak..haha

We've been eating brown rice at home for months now, ok naman but I think I would have to go back to no rice or minimal rice intake, especially because in my new work, we're given free lunch eh white rice plus medyo maalat ang viands (low sodium din kasi kami sa bahay, lost 5kgs after about 2 wks of low sodium!) so for sure either mag-plateau ang weight ko or worse, baka tumaas pa!

I've been thinking of substituting oatmeal for breakfast and dinner. Dati kasi in high school and college, I easily lose weight on this diet. Sana mag-work pa din for me. *fingers crossed*

Also, has anyone used kamote (as in yung boiled lang) as rice substitute? Ok ba siya? Kasi I think it's high fiber and relatively low glycemic index naman ata.

[kewlchix]

i started NRD last saturday, today is my 3rd day...grabe parang wala akong energy...pero sabi nila sa umpisa lang, masasanay rin [textspeak!] body eventually...hope this works! (cross fingers)

[lilstar]

Culprit talaga ang rice kaya minimize your intake or better if you can get rid it from your diet na kahit straight 5 days tapos cheat day para di mo agad mamiss., Ako kasi nagawa ko na ito after I gave birth, after 8 months, mas pumayat pa ako sa pre-pregnancy weight ko. Nung natikman ko ulit ang rice, I lost control kaya nag rebound sakin over the years. Sa ngayon kaya ko na sya pero dapat may cheat day or atleast susubo ako ng konti para di ko mamis.. hehe., It's almost 4 months na din from 70+kgs I'm down to 66.4kgs. Medyo madami na naman ako nakain last week, bawi na lang ako ulit. I'm really glad that I'm back to NRD, thanks din kay sis @super bratinella for inspiring and motivating me. hehe

Based on the question if eating less rice or totally abolishing rice intake makes a person slimmer, I'd have to say yes. Well, the experience I had was that there was about 2 years in my life that I didn't take in rice. Like Zero Rice intake for 2 years straight - no cheating and no treats. The weight loss though will eventually stop. The only consolation I had was that, when I reached a point where the weight loss stopped... I could eat practically anything and everything else, just so there's no rice and I maintained by weight for that entire 2 years. I did that in 2005 to 2007. Been a while. Now, I am trying to see if I can get back to that since I totally need to lose a lot of weight!

[camillet]

I guess it does. With my SureSlim diet, rice, pasta, and bread were all eliminated from my plate for the first 3 months. Now I got off some 12lbs in just 3mos. Pero you have to make sure you are eating something complete.

[Jaguar.Paw]

No. depende sa metabolism ng tao yan. yung kaibigan ko nakaka 12 extra rice sa hainanese delights e pero medyo toned pa din ang katawan. hindi sya nag eexercise. kaya lagi kami kumakain ng mga friends ko sa unli rice para sulit na sulit!

[gentai_chan]

share ko lang ito yung pinaka-effective diet for me. I gave birth to my second baby kast June 10 . My pregnancy weight ended ng 61 kgs si baby ko maliit lang he only weighed 2.7 kgs. Repeat CS ako so again hindi advisable to do crunches kase nga hindi pa totally magaling yung tahi ko. So again I tried yung half rice diet meal ko same with what I did sa first pregnancy ko. Half rice lang talaga kahit gaano ko kalakas sa ulam. So ngaun 2 montha na si baby from 61kgs it went down to 49kgs. Kaka weigh in ko lang kanina and I must say effective talaga siya for me. But i still have to reach my pre pregnancy weight which was 45kgs. I know kayang kaya natin to hehe good luck to us! By the way white rice siya and I don't do exercises yet.
