    LeanAndMean, i don't mean to sound stupid. but how are your friends CONSTANTLY force feeding you? Don't you have control over what you eat? my friends, and family for that matter, have NO control over what i eat. if i don't want it, then i am not eating it. they can beg and plead, but if i don't want it, it ain't going in my body

    Hey.. I usually eat out. Even though i exercise maximum control, they would find ways and means to get around it. For example, when we are eating together, They would all proceed to buy their food leaving me to reserve the table (In Singapore, places which you get to eat is usually extremely crowded (Foodcourt or Hawker Centers.etc)). But after they ordered, i would always find my portion with their order even though i told them not to get anything for me in the first place. Their reasons being that i have lost wayyyy too much weight and i look very pale and malnourished (Kindof true).

    FYI, i came from a not-so-rich family last time and there was a period which i needed to survive on white bread alone for the month. Hence, i really detest wasting any food. Instead, i will just begrudgingly eat those food they brought.

    You think white rice is bad?

    Brown rice is even worse.

    Combined you get tannins. Worse then a tanning bed.

    By cooking your rice with a little bit of coconut oil and then refrigerating it you can reduce the calories.

    Dramatically, huh?

    And where do you suppose these calories disappear to?

    You still don't have to eat it if you aren't hungry. Is taking it home not an option? Practice saying "no", and if you're tired of saying "no", just ignore them until they change the subject. It probably makes you uncomfortable going against what your friends want, but it's your life - don't be such a pushover. And you don't have to let the negative things in your past dictate your life in the present. Okay, so you had to survive on only white bread for a month. What now? You made it past that and are clearly doing much better...especially with all these friends shoving food at you.

    If you tell them to not get you food, and they do, and you eat it, you are training them to not take you seriously.

    But, are you underweight now?

    My mother-in-law told me about cooking white rice a certain way and cooling it to reduce the calories by as much as 60%. I found her reference here:

    If Dr. Oz says it, it can safely be disregarded as fiction. He's one of the biggest woo peddlers out there.

    Hi, I'm a person that simply don't waste food (all Asians don't?). To them, I'm appearing to be like a picky anorexic eater. FYI, I'm 178cm tall and weight will be 65.2KGs.

    Yes.

    Eat the rice. And a chicken. And some more rice. And some steak. Meanwhile, lift weights. Run. Repeat.

    Brown rice is better because it contains the bran too. But white rice is not the evil you think it is..

    There are no 2 billion obese Chinese people in the east right?? Rice is their main source of calories.

    Follow Scientific facts: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dAesmS2jCVU

    Are you sure brown rice is necessarily better? Really sure??

    What? Cooking a food with another food and then making it cold does not reduce that calories? How would that be possible?

    @AnvilHead I wonder why you consider it as spam, let alone garbage! Open your mind, Do the research, educate yourself, them open your mouth.

    Else you will make a joke of yourself. I am trying to help here. I have been through lots of dietary mistakes in my life and I learnt the hard way.

    If Scientific proof doesn't make you change your mind and get convinced, what does?? Broscience?

    Why not answer my question instead of accusing me of spamming. What is the obesity rate in rural china compared to the USA and the UK? what is the main calorie source in china compared to the western world?

    DO the research mate.

    People are fat from too many calories , mate. One individual food is not to blame.

    It's basic nutrition

    Brown rice = rice with the bran around every grain hence the colour is brown.

    The bran is rich in minerals and fibres. It slows the absorption thus makes you feeling full for longer, and the fibre allows for a smooth and easy defecation with no constipation. which means you don't get literally "full of crap" due to long intervals of going to the toilet ( like once every 3 or more days)

    Sounds like 99% woo woo
