Is eating less rice will make you slimmer?

[blackgreen]

I started last November yun less rice, once a day lang yun rice. Tapos this March I started the no rice diet. Hopefully I can lose the 20lbs by September.

Eating less really can trim you down. What I am currently doing is substitute white rice with corn rice. Kailangan ko kasi ng fiber for my constipation/digestive problem. Aside from digestion which is better now, they say I am losing some weight daw kahit na hindi ko naman masyado napapansin. P70 per kilo ang corn rice (RiCo brand, can be bought sa SM supermarket) and what's good about this is that it's made up of 100% corn. Psychologically, I feel I'm still eating white rice. Mas madali and mas mabilis pang iluto. 

Btw, when I ate white rice kasi naubusan ako ng corn rice sa bahay, I just consumed half cup na lang. Mabilis na ako mabusog.

I've been wanting to try the no-rice diet but it's really difficult especially when the food that our maid cooks tastes bad enough.

I just started dieting today. I'm planning to eat oatmeal or Nestle Fitness cereal + fruit in the morning and at night, and rice meals at lunch. Moreover, I'm thinking to switching to brown rice to lessen the pounds. Weekends are my cheat days but definitely no more to second helpings. I hope this works.

kaya ang no rice diet mga sisses, I've been doing it for 6years and super sanay na ako hindi mo na talaga hahanapin ang rice.

Yes, eating rice will make you lose weight provided that you won't indulge in sweets in lieu of rice. A friend of mine avoids rice all throughout the day but eats a lot of sweets so hindi pa rin sya pumapayat...

as per my experience, yes. when i cut down on carbo, I lost a little weight. When I tried the no-rice diet, medyo mabilis naman ako nag-lose ng weight but I think it's not healthy for me coz that was the time I really exercise almost every day so I need carbo. Best combo for me exercise and cut down on carbo, sweet and salt and more water.

ako nung nag no-rice diet ako, nag lose naman ako ng 5 lbs pero it took 3 months.

Hi everyone! I am about to start na yung no rice diet pero 1 cup per day muna. I am about 185 pounds right now and I need to achieve or lose about 60 ppound for a year or a year and a half. Can the no rice diet help me na mawala yung tyan ko na sobrang laki niya and yung binti at hita ko with the help of walking or jogging? Hope you could help me!!

No rice diet doesnt work. It only works if you go low carb- or go low calorie. Giving up rice isnt enough. You'll have to give up bread, pasta, potato, and sweets.  Either that, or count your calories. =(  When I was in Europe before for vacation almost 1 month no rice, but I gained weight pa because of all the bread and cheese and cold cuts I ate!! Hehe

[belle_v2g]

Yes for me.. it works but you need to eliminate too much sugar on your diet.. chocolates,  breads, cookies, soft drinks. We've decided too to buy brown rice or basmati rice instead of white rice because it has low glycemic index.

Sis, first of all I am a guy..

I weighed 102 kilos before and started dieting on March. Now, I weighed 90 kilos, lost almost 20 pounds for just half a month.

What I did?

For the first 20 days, I took Duromine. My appetite decreased and I started to lose weight. Then I decided to stop it, as I don't like what Duromine is doing to my body (para akong bangag).

Then, what I did was low carb - high protein diet.

I eat no rice and avoid sugars like a plague. I used to drink softdrinks all the time, but I stopped it. If I am tempted, I drink Diet coke.

Puro ako ulam.. Kung kakain ako ng rice, mga dalawang kutsara lang. I also count calories.

Then, I walk for work. As of now, dami nakakapansin na laki ng pinayat ko. Go for it.

Low carb - high protein diet seems to work very well.

[Chili1113]

peeyaj: how are you able to buy duromine? do you have a prescription? Ive tried  Duromine long time ago and I got so skinny. However when I tried it again years ago it didnt work so much. Also the rebound made me gain so much more after I stopped

[Cheesecak3]

Yes, eating less rice helps me lose weight.

Ang bilis talagang magpataba ng rice. Just eat a lot of veggies and drink a lot of water. Aliwin ang sarili para di palagi food naiisip. :-)

Hi! Im on my 46th day of “no rice diet”. I started November 16, 2015. Ang replacement ko rin ay bread, veggies and fruits tapos more water intake. Ang dami ko rin kasi dati kumain ng rice (hanggang 3 cups) Pero nung nag DECIDE ako na mag-“no rice diet” inisip ko yung GOAL ko na maging “vegetarian” in the future .At ang naging benefits sa akin nang hindi na pagkain ng rice ay magaan sa katawan yung feeling na hindi rin madaling napapagod at hindi rin mabilis antukin (nakakaya ko magising ng 18-24hours). And I stopped drinking softdrinks or sodas for 14 months and counting . Next naman ang GOAL ko ay “not eating instant noodles” Im on my 4th month na and counting Wala pa pala akong exercise but this 2016 I will start to play badminton and parkour.

No rice! Fighting!

[lovehatemanila]

NO!     Take it from someone who eats rice once in a blue moon(no joke! not cause of diet, i personally don't enjoy eating rice) BUT can't live without nachos, pasta and cakes.

[TysLolakins]

not but itself, no.  you have to avoid all other forms of carbs like bread and pasta, that includes cakes, pastries, cookies, pizza, chips 


some nationalities (like americans) don't eat as much rice as we do but some of them are still obese.


and then at the other end of the spectrum, other asian countries eat as much or more white rice than we do yet majority of them are not fat.


it boils down to the overall lifestyle, not just white rice, as some have indicated here.  to lose weight, in addition to avoiding/limiting white rice,  they've avoided all junk and upped their exercise regimen.


some will say that they've lost weight from no rice diet, yeah they've lost the water weight initially but that will come back with a vengeance.

[althea_ge]

very well said SIS!

no to less carbs is the only way to loose weight. If you are not eating rice but having pasta, bread, and other carbs in your meal, it would have the same effect as eating rice and having food loaded with carbs makes you gain weight.

yes for me super effective ang no rice kahit ilang days pa lang napapansin ko na my tummy is flatter and waist is slimmer.

@TysLolakins i agree with you but i think yung mga asian countries that eats a lot of rice mahaba rin nilalakad nila. they don't have jeeps and tricycles like we do kaya they take long walks or cycle in their city unlike us.
