    Make it fit into your calorie goal and enjoy.

    Whilst carbs, sugar and fat do have the monopoly on the 'evil food of the week' title I am strongly campaigning that celery get a turn :happy:

    In short, unless you have actual medical problems no food is evil as such and can be enjoyed in moderation. If you like you can google the Twinkie diet for more info. That said eating nothing but processed food all day might make it hard for you to manage within your calories or hit all you macros and can leave you malnourished (the body only stores fat not nutrients, so if you don't take calcium in, you don't have any).

    I personally always eat white basmati and it is not slowing down my weight loss.

    I personally prefer brown rice but as long as you count it into your calories it should be ok. But as others have said, the unprocessed brown rice will have more nutrients.

    Yup. To fit it in you might have to eat less than you would brown rice, but that's all in how you plan your day if necessary.

    Enjoy your rice!

    I eat white rice all the time. The calorie count on my bags of brown rice, jasmine rice and japanese rice are all the same calorie count per serving size.

    When I was losing weight, I ate rice. Now that I'm bulking, I still eat rice. White or brown. Doesn't have much to do with gaining or losing weight.

    I will answer your question with a question:

    Why would white rice, or any food in particular, prevent you from losing weight?

    Again, you can eat whatever you want within your calorie budget. Get some ear plugs and quit listening to your co worker about weight loss. There are no demon foods.

    Ate it almost everyday and lost 45lbs. I did recently switch to Brown rice, but you can lose weight on white rice

    Hi, I have just started my weight loss journey, 4.7kg down and have had basmati rice a few times and I have sushi all the time with white short grain rice. FYI I have also had baked potatoes with butter and cheese, duck fat roast potatoes, candy, chocolate, full sugar rasberry soday, wheat beer, beer, vodka, and I tend not to trim the fat off meat I really like.
    There are a lot of people on MFP who are at goal and have maintained a long time, who eat whatever foods they like, as long as they monitor their calories according to their goals. So if you love your white rice, you're pretty safe!
