generally eating a lot of rice would make you gain weightt because its carbohydrates. but the reason why asian people  are all so small and thin is not mainly because of that- its because they eat good food like fresh vegetables, seafoods, lean meats - and hardly any deep fried foods, sweets or prepackaged foods.\nThats really not the case in the U.S. , only in asian countries, every one in every race is and can be fat here- very sad actually

It depends on why you need the extra weight. If you need to gain weight to turn it into muscle eat lots of proteins like meet. Cheese is a good source of fat. Complex carbohydrates like pasta, breads and rice are the way to go. Stay away from simple sugars like candy and my favorite Apple Jacks type of cereals. But definitely a high protein diet is a good weight gainer. Here is the down side. To much protein can cause your kidneys to back up so drink LOTS of water to help flush them.

You can lose weight eating almost anything, so long as you consume fewer calories. Oatmeal may be beneficial because it contains fiber and it has bulk. The fiber and bulk cause you to feel fuller faster, so you eat less. The fiber also might help you expel faster. Finally, your blood glucose levels shoot up slower because the fiber acts as a sort of buffer in your stomach.

Diet pills and diets don't really help you lose pounds. You just lose water weight. One thing that really helped me with losing weight was drinking plenty of water, eating lots of vegetables for digestion and eater frequent smaller meals. That way your body isn't stressed out and holding onto extra weight because it thinks you're in starvation or stressful times.

Just because you boil it does not mean it is any healthier when we are talking about carb intake. Rice (although not high in fat) is loaded with carbs. Once you consume those carbs they turn into sugar. We all know that sugar is bad for any type of diabetes. With everything moderation is the key. If you want to eat rice you can just eat about 1/2 cup. Then you can eat a serving of meat which is not high in carbs and some veggies. Just remember that all veggies are not the same. Corn, carrots, potatoes and peas are on the list for having high amounts of carbs.

not if you realize the fact that you might eat to take the place of smoking and only eat healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables or drink a lot of water or chew gum or get one of those plastic cigarettes from cvs that helps you put something in your mouth besides smoking a real cigarette it has a little nicotine to help ween you. but once you quit you will have more energy for excercising so take advantage of it and that wil help you not gain weight also.

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

Brown rice is simply white rice that has not had the bran covering the rice grains removed. Removing the bran is done so that the rice is fluffier and cooks faster. Since brown rice still has the bran intact, it is a much better source of fiber. In fact a cup of brown rice has 3.5 grams of fiber while white rice has less than one gram of fiber.\nAnother benefit from eating brown rice is caused by the fiber slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates. This will help tame the blood-sugar roller coaster that can happen from a high sugar-low fiber meal. Fiber also has a healthy effect on our cholesterol levels and may help to reduce this risk of cardiovascular disease.\nBesides the fiber found in the brown rice, the bran contains nutrients like magnesium, manganese, and zinc. White rice has reduced levels of these nutrients, but is often fortified with iron, and some B vitamins. \n\nalthough i imagine that these individuals eat rice frequently and workout to lose the weight they would have to tke vitamins since they cant get all the nutrients that their body needs from the rice. ricehas alot of vitamins but the reason we have to eat different foods is to have a balanced diet. i would imagine that it would be hard to keep this diet up 1 due to it beig a boring diet and how long can you keep it up? after you stopped i bet the lbs would come back. if you want to try this i would suggest that you eat the rice 3 times a day and eat some form of protein , meat or peanut butter, etc., twice a day. the water idea is always good and workout. muscle burns fat. good luck and i hope this helped

Instead of white rice, you should be eating brown rice.  It's better for you and keeps you satisfied longer.

Certainly, as long as you are eating healthy cereal with lots of vitamins, minerals and don't forget about your protein. Adding whole fruits like berries, melons, apples or bananas would be helpful as well. Ceareals are a great low fat alternative and great for weight loss. However, in the long term it would be best to add a least one regular meal a day to your diet.

No.  If you want to lose fat, you have to consume less calories than you expend.  That's a combination of eating and activity.  If you move your body more, then you can increase the rate of loss, but eating regularly and exercising regularly is the best way to go.\n\nAnyone who tells you that you can eat whatever/however much you want to eat and lose weight by (a) eating certain things, (b) taking certain supplements or (c) reading a book, etc. etc. is just selling something.

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.

Whenever i need to trim down for a vacation or a swimsuit outting i eat rice. dry rice with peas and other nice veggies. the rice will help keep you fuller a little longer, its good for you, there not a huge amount of calories in it either. \n\nalso i eat a smaller breakfast that usual. more fruits, maybe a little cereal, or maybe some toast and jam. nothing to make me feel full, just satisfied.\n\nI take a multi vitamin too, i just naturally am not a person who is hungry often, so incase i forget to eat something my body needs i try to make up for it in another way.\n\nand jogging. jogging is my secret. its just the best way there is to slim down. keeping your body in motion, and eating the calories you need to keep from starving, but not so many that you cant use them all. jogging is great for that. and i walk everywhere. constantly in motion. if i can do the laundy in one trip down the stairs, i make it a point to do it in two instead. that sort of thing. \n\ndepending on how heavy you are to begin with i usually can tell that iam slimming down in a couple weeks. but thats just my body.
