Rice...Still HUNGRY

The curse of Chinese take away! lol I have experienced this, but only with easy/quick cook rice. I THINK it is because it will have had much of the starch and protein (yes, rice has protein in it) removed to make it cook quicker. These are what fill you up and keep away hunger pangs and sugar cravings.

I don't find this a problem when I take the time to make brown rice - but white rice, some how I do feel hungry again quickly. not my husband though - if he eats a rice meal he gets so full he can barely eat his serving, and it sticks with him for some time.

Hi. I don't eat much rice but when I do, it is quite filling but even I am hungry a few minutes later after it settles. There are alot of foods that work that way on me. I eat and get full, and a few minutes later, I am hungry again. I hate it too because I would like to lose some weight.

rice is a carb and it will fill you up fast butis easy for your body to break down and your metabolism doesn't get much of a boost by eat foods that are easy to digest. Protein is the best thing to eat for that. You will feel full and your body has to work harder to break it down. You will lose more weight that way.

Yes.....just like when I eat oatmeal. I tend to be hungry within just a few hours. It's like there is no substance to rice and unless you have something with it that has some body you are not really filled up!

i rarely eat rice for that very reason...i am also on a low carb diet, so it is way too much for me to eat without any satisfaction!

Rice is carbohydrate and we use the energy quickly, therefore we feel hungry again very quickly blessed be

I never get like this though I do like to add a few fresh Vegies to the pot. It is a nice luch on a cold day!!

I love eating rice, . I eat rice at least once a day... Now it's sad coz i have to loose weight. I gained a lot last year and don't like the way i look now. So have to cut/lessen my carbo intake. I into fruits and veggies right now but would definitely eat half a cup of rice in a day.

One of my friends experienced that too. I wonder what's wrong in them. It's not quite normal.

No, actually it's the other way around if I don't eat rice I will feel very hungry until I get rice inside my stomach.

Ya I get this feeling lot of time.Even if I eat thrice the ammount I get hungry in 20 min.

we are rice eaters here and we feel full when we finish our meal. We cook the rice fully here not three fourths like chinese do. Our way of eating rice with curry, vegetable side dish and curds maybe the difference. I don't know. If we eat in the afternoon lunch we do not feel hungry till the evening snacks time that is about 4-5 hours later. I have made Vegetable Pulao and Paneer masala today and waiting for my husband to come. Have you tried any of the Indian recipes?

Hmm... maybe try to eat really slowly. And I eat rice with stewed vegetables, like carrot, cabage and potates, and it gives some nice solty taste to rice. And it is really fulling me) Try it
