Question

pls tell me if ur sure

Answer 1

well koreans and the people whos culture eat a lot of rice seem to be pretty plender, but it depends on what you puit on the rice!

Answer 2

Coming from an asian person yes. It realy depends on how much you eat of it and what kind. I would reconmend brown,red or long grain rice. They have are lower in the GI. Like other foods it must be eaten in moderation. You can't just consume it and think you will not get fat. Becuase if you don't use it then it will turn into stored energy(FAT) If you look at the portion that asians eat you will see that it is usally much less then people in America or maybe other countries, because of their bowl size. I didn't know this either until a while ago.

Answer 3

As with any food, if you eat rice in excess it can cause weight gain. Please disregard the comments about carbs posted by other responders. Carbs have far fewer calories than fats do. In fact longitudinal studies have shown that people who consume carbs as a larger proportion of their diet actually weigh less than those who attempt to "cut carbs".

The thing you have to find out is what your calorie requirements per day are (based on your weight/age/ body comp.) and try not consume more food energy than you need.
