How do you make yourself stop eating rice?

oooowah I didn't think rice was fattening, or is it what you eat it with, I must do a rethink on this myself, i thought rice was ok to eat...grrrrrrr not fair everything nice puts on weight.

Hey...I am the same like you. WHen I fast from rice my weight goes down. And if I consume alot of rice...weight ust goes up cos it is starchy and contains carbs. Well, I am not going to make myself stop eating rice...how can I...I love rice...rice is my staple food. I will just cut down on the amount of rice.Which, my husband and I started doing last week. And my weight has already decrease...how I found out - pants loosen!!! LOL hehehhe

HI quenniemae........I agree with you. I am like you, rice lover. I love the Indian basmati rice which is delicious, but have decided to reduce the quantity by 75% as I am also trying to loose weight. When I cook rice I drain out the water after the rice is boiled and almost soft. Does that make any difference, is it less fattening that way....if you know then let me know too........I have really decided now to change my life style, thanks to Internet which gives us so much information about right choice of food to remain healthy. Have a nice day.

I didn't know rice was fattening either. Do you et white rice? Brown is supposed to be healthier. I eat very little rice now but I was going to gear uo to eat more because rice is one of the few grains I can eat with my ms. i eat rice cakes and rice r=crispies. just bought a bunch of brown rice for $1/lb @Longs Drugs. Heard rice is gettibg costly and Costco is rationing rice!!!

you can try brown rice which has lesser calories and what the celebrities are eating so that they will not gain weight

Stop eating rice is not a good idea, if somebody is gaining weight,then that person should take it in small amount.
I love eating rice, it is also regarded as a staple food in our country.

I never stop. Either my friends or my parents have to stop. I can't control myself.

yeah I know, it’s the same problem with me. rice is our staple diet and everybody in the family has this psychological block that if you don’t take rice, somehow you don’t feel full after the meal. Its quite irritating but I have not options either. As a family, we take rice only once i.e for dinner. Since both hubby and me are working, we take something light for breakfast and lunch and dinner-time is our main time for elaborate meals. And since hubby loves rice so much and its convenient to make too (just put it to boil and do your own work) and I also give in easily. But I am a light eater, I take only about one small bowl of rice for dinner. This way I hope I can keep my weight in check.

i cant resist rice
i love to eat them in any form
they are cooked in many form at our place and all are good

and who says Rice add fat, if u look at Apsara reply, the way she cook the rice are recommended by doctors as it take away all startch from rice( which actually make ur fat)

So keep on eating them, though they are getting very expensive now

Take care

Wow 35 lbs. That is really incredible and really cool. I haven't stopped eating rice but I've decreased the amount of rice that I am eating because it does pack on the pounds. But I have no idea how to stop eating rice because I love rice as much as you and your lover do. Good luck with trying to stop eating rice.
