I am trying to lose weight and I'm wondering if brown rice is healthier than white rice?

Question

I am trying to reduce calorie intake and need all the help I can get.Is brown rice better than white rice?

Answer 1

brown rice has more fiber, which is important because it helps your digestive tract move things along.

Answer 2

OH YES! It has more than half the calories of white rice! And has better protein! If you get the Uncle Ben's rice it comes in a package, and microwave it for 90 seconds! Only 100 calories for half a cup!

Answer 3

it depends on the rice you get. some brown and white rice are exactly the same, except white rice is bleached and brown rice has dye. check which brand you get.

organic brown rice is only slightly healthier than white rice. it all depends on what you put on it (i.e. salt, butter, soy sauce)

Answer 4

Rather than look at the difference between brown and white rice why not try a diet regime that is totally new and different. I'm referring to the magnetic diet which evolves around a regimen of diet, exercise, yoga and chanting.

Answer 5

white rice tends to be polished rice and has less nutrients, but honestly, in america, it makes no difference, most americans are well fed and have the vitamins they need. and if you're trying to get all your nutrients from any form of rice you should also be taking a supplemental vitamin! eat the rice that tastes best to you!
