You bet!
So are potatoes, pasta, polenta, bread, tortillas, waffles, risotto, pancakes, corn and beans.
These are items we avoid during the quick weight loss phase of Kimkins. Your body processes carbs (starch) before anything else.

Yes rice is starchy but, if you want to use it wash it in a pan, by poring Cold water over the rice just enough to cover, and then,swirl the water around a fiew times,and wou will see the water turn cloudy ( this is the starch ) Pour this away and do it a fiew more times. This reduces the amount of starch intake, but by the very nature of rice it cant be eliminated. Happy Eating.

It's not a type of starch.
It's a source of starch.
By that, I mean, you can get starch from rice in quite high quantities.
In fact, you can get starch from almost any vegetable in varying quantities.
The starch is formed from the sugars in the plant once it's been harvested.
That's why fresh vegetables that have just come straight out of the ground will always taste sweeter and better than veg from the supermarket.

Rice contains starch but isn't all starch.

Below is a link that will tell you the food value in detail. It is starch and a grain. If you eat it with beans it makes almost a complete protein.
