Yeah me neither. If you like rice, eat rice. If you don't like rice, don't eat rice. If you think it's to many calories, eat a smaller side of rice. If you don't want to eat rice don't try to turn something else into rice? Just get a different side that tastes a whole lot better then cauliflower lol.If you "have to" watch your carbs then just don't eat rice. I don't understand.0 -
I loled...I feel bad for the cauliflower. No one likes it as is, so they try to make it into other things.0 -
I use cauliflower for just about EVERYTHING. Its the best substitute for just about anything you can think of.
If you are going to the trouble to prepare rice, why not just step it up a bit and go for a cauliflower pizza, or cake . really that's were the magic happens!
Have you forgotten that there is a cauliflower group here? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/14234-omg-cauliflower-om-nom-nom-nom-nom0 -

So I'm thinking of trying cauliflower as a substitute for rice. Has anyone tried it? If so, what are your thoughts? Have you tried any other substitutions for rice?
Thanks
Cauliflower is good but so is rice! Why substitute when you can eat both?0 -
Wow, what a weight lost! congrats. maybe you are right, we are all different:)0

Is there anything cauliflower can't do???0

I have to watch my carbs that's why I'm asking for substitutions. I'm not really a fan of brown rice either....
That's right. I forgot. Cauliflower is a protein . . .0 -

apparently it is not good by itself because everyone wants to make it to some magical vegetable that can be converted into something else that you don't want to eat....
the worst I have seen is cauliflower alfredo...really?0 -

Will cross referencing cauliflower threads cause a tear in the space-time continuum?0 -
Use should try black rice which is highly recommended bc of the antioxidants,vitamins, and fiber so it's like a superfood rice lol - I have totally replaced my white rice (which I LOVE) with it and I've been able to switch over with no intentions of eating white rice... Of course it does have carbs but you just have to keep it in moderation and pack on a little protein and a lot of veggies... http://vegetarianspotlight.com/2012/benefits-of-black-rice/ - that should give you the info you need about it... I discovered it just strolling down the lanes at costco and thought it looked interesting after I read the package I knew I stumbled on to something great - good luck ; )0

I didn't know "black rice" was a kind of rice. I saw your avatar, then read "try black rice" and immediately thought it was some kind of ethnic dish or something. Then I realized black rice was, like, a thing. It did make me laugh though.0 -
Why do people get so upset when some other people get creative with their food choices? Rice is a trigger food for me, so I stay away from it. However, if there is a rice dish that someone has figured out how to make with a substitute, why do so many people freak out when they talk about it?
I'm sure the rice doesn't get its feelings hurt, so you don't have to feel sorry for it.
I am a huge fan of cauliflower pizza. I make it often and has friends who request it regularly.
I also like cauliflower just steamed, or mashed with Turnips and parsnips for some good fake potatoes. Throw some cheese on top and its even better.
Yes, cauliflower is a carb as well, but it is considerably lower in calories and higher in fiber than white rice or white flour.0 -

because everyone gets all worked about "evil carbs" like they are the former soviet union or something...As long as you stay in your calorie/macro carb goal for day you will be fine...carbs at night, or carbs in general, or whatever are not going to make you fat...
Also, I do not understand how the cauliflower carb is somehow superior to the brown rice carb...???0 -
They eat a lot of rice in Mexico as well, and they just passed us as number one in obesity rate!0

I usually try a smaller bowl of rice to replace the larger bowl of rice. Don't give it up. Just eat less of it.0

When you are insulin resistant, or diabetic, you have to watch your total carbs. You also have to choose higher fiber carbs to help prevent spikes in insulin. Cauliflower has less starch than rice, even brown rice, which I personally don't like.
I can have a lot more cauliflower per carb/calorie than I can have rice. 1/2 cup cooked rice just isn't very much.
If you don't have problems with insulin, then you can eat whatever you want as long as you stay in your calorie goal.
For those of us who can't do that, it is very helpful to find alternatives.
And a bit tiresome to hear all the naysayers whenever the subject comes up.0 -
