What can I eat instead of "rice"?

Can you get hold of quinoa? It's similar to couscous in texture, quite bland so its good to add a bit of spice/flavouring to it and it also has the benefit of being a protein instead of a carb.

i was gonna say quinoa also.... if you can't find it locally you can order it online

Cabbage or spinach

You can put raw cauliflower in a food processor and then use it like rice. For example: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/veggie-korma-mock-cauliflower-pilau

Please don't abuse cauliflowers like this. They have feelings too you know.

OP why are you cutting rice? As long as you eat in a calorie deficit you'll lose weight. There is nothing wrong with rice as part of a balanced diet.

I suggest you could substitute couscous for rice, although I am not clear as to why you want to quit rice for two weeks - ?

I eat rice with curry pretty much every day, usually the dry vegetable type of curry, or dal, or various fish or chicken curries with not too much sauce. I'm losing weight. Why would you like to stop eating rice?

More rice.

Oh my, that looks delicious! I've yet to meet a Jamie Oliver recipe I don't like though, gonna give this a go next week!

I don't eat rice daily anymore as an asian .I do eat sweet potatoes + corn quite frequently though.

I'm not sure why you want to cut out rice. If it's because of the carbs in rice then you can just put less seasoning in the curries and eat them with a spoon. Eating curries over a scrambled egg or with a boiled egg tastes pretty good and the eggs help cut the spiciness.

If it's something unrelated to carbs then try potatoes, lentils or beans.

Rice is awesome. I don't know WHY you would want to cut out rice, but then I'm cutting out bread myself even though bread is also awesome just to try and expand my meal ideas. SO, as others have suggested, quinoa is GREATand you cook it the same way as rice but has more flavour than rice. However it's a lot more expensive if that's a concern for you. i only have it as a "sometimes food" because I like it but I can't justify the price for regular meals. Cauliflowers tend to be more reasonably priced and work as rice as someone above suggested.

Steamed shredded cabbage is good under stir fry . I add a little soy sauce to it.

Bulgur wheat! I used to be totally obsessed with rice. Im talking rice for brekkie, lunch and dinner!Now, all I take instead is bulgur and theres no going back for me x

Eat less rice, then. Halve what you eat. Or is rice poison and Satan incarnate? If so, I'll have it.

^^And this is the correct answer. Regional availability and cultural food preferences do NOT make people fat or skinny or whatever (well, maybe a preference for overeating--but it's NOT necessarily the food type).

Eat a little less rice. Rice is yummy and available and popular. Where I'm from, potatoes are popular and readily available, so I eat them, just less (1/2 of a potato instead of a giant one as big as my head, for example).

Quinoa or Cous Cous.
