I am Chinese and I eat white rice almost everyday.\n\nI am 5 foot 10 inches and weight 135 pounds, so I don't have a big stomach.\n\nU be the judge.

Sounds like you are doing really good, but what kind of bread and cereal do you eat? make sure its whole grain, because the white kind isnt good for you.

Start off slow with just some broth, then progressing to what is called a bland diet... no spices... no meat.... eggs, toast, rice, tea, jello, bananas gradually increasing what you are eating into your normal diet. adding meat and milk products toward the end. They tend to upset the stomach more as they take longer to digest. Make your meals small and eat often. It should only take a few days to get back to normal...

yes, because it increases your metabolism, which burns fat more efficiently. Fruit or whole grain cereal dont add much calories and jumpstart your system.

Why do you consider rice a staple food?  I almost never eat rice.  It's just not part of my diet, and I work out almost every day.\nYour "tummy will get bigger" if you overeat, no matter what the food is.

nothing is going to get the tummy flat but diet and exercise.  Don't believe crunches alone will do it.  Crunches will strengthen the abdominal muscles but will not get rid of the fat.  It is fat on top of the muscles that makes the tummy protrude.  I would suggest removing crabs from your diet and increase the proteins.  Breads would include, pasta, breads, rice, and potatoes. you will get enough carb intakes from fruits...but stay away from bananas.

As for now, I don't think that you will have to worry about dieting, as you already said, you are still growing and your body needs time for adjustments, growth wise and hormonal as well. That stuff takes some time.\n\nIn the meantime, just make sure that you get plenty of daily exercise, and that you don't take too many of these empty calories in, like chips, milk shakes, soda, fries, chocolate and that kinda stuff...\n\nAnd...it also depends on your genetics...if you are broad build and have 'heavy' relatives.\n\nOh, and one more thing, in case nobody has told you yet...the week before you menstruate you can even get bloating, which will increase your stomach circumference. So don't worry about that, ok?

CARBBLOCK, made from some sort of rice mixture. It actually worked for me, but it can't be overused. It'll give you the runs nd a not-so-great feeling if you abuse them. I would use it maximum of once every day or two before a normal-for-you sized meal.Don't make the mistake of overeating, as it may not work as much as you'd like.\nThey have a nice orange flavor, but a little chaulky

yes, if the rest of your food is healthy (fruit and veggies, whole grains)

Whole wheat flour and products of whole grains.  As far as giving up sugar (just white sugar?) you can sweeten things with rice syrup nicely!

Despite popular belief, exercising certain muscles will not target fat in those regions.  You can do crunches all day but that will have no more effect on your stomach than any other calorie burn.  I would not recommend excess stomach exercises because they may actually make your stomach larger by increasing those muscles size.  Every ones body stores excess fat differently.  Women tend to have it in the hips and thighs, men in the stomach.  You need to reduce your overall body fat percentage.  There are many diet fads out there but one simple thing remains true.  To lose fat you must burn more calories than you are consuming.  Stick to cardio and eat smaller portion meals more frequently.  Substitute grilled for fried and fresh for frozen.  Also, eliminate any processed foods or foods with lots of chemicals and preservatives.  Also increase your protein intake.  These things improve your body's overall efficiency and health.

If it's white ( flour, sugar, rice, potatoes etc) stay away from it. Start to read the labels on your cereal boxes, you want sugar to be at least the third or fourth ingredient. Drink LOTS of water. Even if you've never been a "water drinker"  you'll be surprised that the more you drink it, the more you'll get used to it! ALWAYS eat breakfast, it gets your metabolism going for the day, and exercise! Ride your bike, skate, play soccer or jump rope with your friends. Above all DO NOT STARVE yourself, your body has a "starvation mode trigger" if it's not getting nourished , you won't lose the weight!

How old are you? if you're still young which I am assuming you are, try not to focus on it too much because it's not as important as you think. Other than that beans, legumes mushrooms rice and pasta will all help you put on weight. dont eat refined foods though like white rice or white bread.

Be careful about suddenly increasing your daily fiber intake. If you suddenly add large amounts of fiber to your diet, you may experience bloating, diarrhea, and severe stomach cramping. It is best to add fiber to your diet gradually, eating small amounts of fiber rich foods. Additional fiber can be added slowly until you are consuming a healthy amount.\n\nTips for Eating Fiber\n\n    * Eat a variety of foods\n    * Do not completely rely on fiber supplements\n    * Limit your intake of processed foods\n    * Increase your fiber intake gradually\n    * Try to consume 25 to 35 grams of fiber every day \n\nTypes of Fiber\n\nThere are two main types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibers dissolve in water. Soluble fibers include: pectin, guar, carrageenan, gums, mucilage, and oat bran. Insoluble fibers do not dissolve in water. Insoluble fibers include cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.
