It's not working

Sweetie, forget the diet. Why do you want to loose weight anyway? Well, try to walk more oftrn. Even when you are in the office. After you had lunch or snacking, just walk around. Go for walks after work if you can. You need to fire up the old metabolism or get a bicyle.

Hi ddaguno Do you mean that nt eating rice will help someone lose weight I doubt! And yes, I dont thing a year later the metabolism slows down either unless you are ill or anything. I think it is okay to gain a kilo or two in one year

i have a friend here who stops taking rice for quite some times now. but she runs regularly. which i think helps her a lot to reduce weight.

Like most Indians i too used to eat rice regularly but unlike you i did not have any weight problems.However 3 years back i completely stopped eating rice and only had "chapattis", that is wheat cakes made from wheat flour.I do not miss eating rice though. Your problem could also be due to having sugar.do you eat lots of sweet things? I have totally stopped having sugar but have replaced it with Sugar Free Natura which is made from sugar but has very little sugar in it and it tastes exactly like sugar.It come as small pills or in powder.It also has a very low calorie content and is specially good for diabetics and also for those who want to lose weight or keep it under control.then maybe you can start having rice but take only a small quantity and only once in a day.

hello!! I also need a serious diet!!! I tried the 3-days of eating nothing but 'apples' and water but still it did not work! I just crave for the things I need. In your case, I think you are right, your metabolism slowed down like me (I'm also getting older.. hehe).. or maybe, you are not eating rice but you eat lots of carbo (from breads). Try to take 10 minutes of jogging a day, I just started this routine last Tuesday. You need to release some sweat in order to increase metabolism, 10 mins is not bad, right? Well, I still eat rice, but now, with minimum amount (nakakagutom talaga agad pag wala, haha). Stop using the weighing scale, it may add depression to you and it's not really good. I also suggest that you complete an 8-hour sleep.. :D Well, these stuffs are just collected after reading many forums in the net. s possible. After a month let's see if this one work... I hope it will work (crossed fingers.. :D )

Hi! I'm a Filipino like you and I have lost 60 pounds a year ago. I did not eat rice for six month and it has worked efficiently for me. However, not eating rice is basically not enough to lose weight. I would recommend you to drink more than 8 glasses of water per day to flush away the fats. Do some cardio exercises and take the stairs instead of the elevators. :-)You have to change some of your bad habits and live a healthy lifestyle.

Dieting is a big contribution to losing weight, but its just one part of the picture. You must incorporate routine exercise even at least 3x a day... eat healthier. Prefer veggies and fruits over chips and sweets And dont get impatient... contrary to gaining weight, losing weight requires quite a lot of time, effort and sacrifices...

Hello ddaguno, No, the best thing to do now is to lessen the eat of rice at least one cup a day and drink more water. not to mention you can try c-lium fiber as well for a better bowel movement. maybe you're body is not use to it anymore. another thing is not to eat after six in the evening. that works for me as well. rice is an important meal to us, nver sacrificed it, my brother did the same thing but it didn't work too. have a nice day

Hi ddaguno, before I continue, i just want to tell you that I weigh 115lbs, stands 5ft 2in and I'm a diet freak. I am still eating rice for I know rice is also fiber which is needed to for good digestion. But I only have half cup always for lunch and dinner.Don't keep on weighing yourself for you will only get frustrated if you don't get a favorable reading.It's not going to be overnight success.Crash diets are not good for your kidney and liver. Try to eat always when it's time to, but in small proportions. You diet, but indulge once a week.Go ahead,eat hamburger,ice cream,toblerone.Do this all in one day only.The rest of the week ,you diet. By this you will enjoy what you are doing and not feel like its a never-ending struggle.

A colleague in the office has done the same thing. He skipped the rice, he would only eat chicken and fruit. In three weeks time, he was able to lose about 6 pounds. Of course he coupled this with jogging about 3 kilometers every other day, twice a week when he's really busy in the office. I'm not sure if I could do a diet like that. I'm not hell bent on getting a hot figure because there's no way I'd turn down rice. Not when everyone in this household functions on rice. Maybe you think it's not effective because you're thinking about it too much. Try not watching your weight for a while. Replace some meals with fruit instead so that it's not as hard avoiding rice. AFter all, fruit can really make you feel full, and also you don't normally have rice with fruit so it won't be as hard.

Its not the rice , chappathi or other foods counts. Its the calories you intake measures the diet. You may be skipping rice and intaking other sugar or starch foods more so that your intaking calories increase. Without exercise you cannot burn these calories. So even without eating rice your weight seems to be the same.

Being Puerto Rican, rice is also a daily part of our lives. Though these days I do not eat it as much as I have in many years as it is only my boyfriend and I at home. Yes rice is very heavy and lessening it should help you to loose weight. Although it is true that you will need to add a little exercise to increase the metabolism. Which is what I have done and my metabolism now is way too high where I am not able to retain weight, as I am way too thin. I think that since you are not exercising that a little walking plus drinking some water will definitely help your metabolism. Don't give up and it will be okay to add smaller portions then you are use to of the rice.

You know, I also have a diet program without rice. I only ate bread in a month. I lost about 2kg. However, I never try this program one more time. I think that meal without rice is not enough to lose weight. You should check your meal. You maybe eat much another things more than you eat rice everyday.

Everyone's bodies changes over time, so something that worked for you before might not work a while later. Why can't things stay the same? haha. I, personally, have been told that cutting rice from a diet should do you good. Many people recommend eating brown rice instead; it's healthier for you. I suggest just maybe exercising a little more here and there? Just don't give up! Losing weight isn't something that happens in a set time.

Well you can't expect to lose alot of weight just by not eating rice.You really have to change how you eat.You have to eat healthier and exercise.

taking good diet, doing exercise daily reduces fat,keeps you energetic whole day, friend take carbohydrates limitedly, take protien and natural food daily,then observe the change, really you will enjoy.
