    You need carbs for energy. You should focus on eating most carbs from veggies and some fruits. The white rice, white bread, white flour, etc...can give your body insulin spike so try to avoid them and eat brown rice, brown bread, whole wheat pasta, etc...instead.

    To lose weight you need to be eating a calorie deficit. A 500 calories deficit from your maintenance level will give you a weight loss of 1 pound per week.
