    Hard to make any real suggestions until we know what it is about rice that you are wanting to cut from your diet...

    Try LessRice. I hear it is delicious.
    I confirm. LessRice is pretty awesome and taste just like ALotaRice.

    It still doesn't compare to Iscream

    Cauliflower rice!

    Exactly! That's what I do to substitute rice on some days.. and it's delish. It's really a good option for (recovering) binge eaters who usually feel drowsy after consuming rice--like yours truly.

    In my country, rice is like main dish for side dishes/ curries. I want to cut eating rice for 2weeks.
    So, what foods are there instead of "rice" for side dishes/ curries or anything that will be most like rice
    (I know brown rice is one of the answers but it is really hard to find brown rice here) So, please suggest other stuff to replace rice

    Thanks:heart::heart:

    I've told my grandmother that I wasn't eating rice anymore because I was cutting out carbs and trying to do more Atkins. This didn't translate well. She called me stupid and I received a lecture from her about how in China there was crap load of famine when she was growing up and how we're lucky to have plenty of rice. I also got smacked upside my head a few times by my aunts.

    This is the same grandma who told me she fried the cholesterol out of my eggs.

    Anyways, here's a few ideas:
    Quinoa cooks a lot like rice but has a different texture. More protein and better overall for you.
    Tofu
    Shirataki - made with a yam-based fiber that kinda just passes through the system. Only 10 colaries per serving. Also sold under the brand "Miracle Noodles." Beware: Clean thoroughly to get rid of fish smell.
    Eggs - because so many dishes go well over eggs instead of rice.

    Cauliflower = a sad excuse for for rice.

    Thank you for being a gentleman in pointing that out.

    Try being a native of (and living in) Southeast Asia where the staple food is rice (and you've been brought up to have 2+ meals that consist of rice almost everyday - see: nasi lemak). Oh--you can't? :smile:

    Can we talk recipes for this use of cauliflower? I do love cauliflower.
