    Plus just wanted to add this! Don't look at weight loss as a hundred yard dash, but rather a marathon. Sure it would be nice if we could all snap our fingers & the weight would just magically all melt off; unfortunately, that's not the case. Go into this process trying to lose weight as healthfully as possible (that's not to say you have to eat nothing but 'healthy food'), but you want to instill healthy habits into your daily regime that will last a lifetime.

    My favourite thing to do regarding rice cakes is: 7 popcorn rice cakes + 1 container of FF Philadelphia cream cheese. Awesome !

    Also good with Laughing Cow cheese. I have Gouda right now.

    OP, please heed the advice here and eat more. As long as you eat less calories than your body burns, and you have no health issues, you will lose weight. It’s a learning process. Best of luck!

    I like Laughing Cow too, but I'm just super hooked on cream cheese (and low fat ricotta) !

    How much actual fruit & veggies are you eating? They are high volume, low calorie, and help keep stuff moving along.

    Just because the topics popped back up I’ll share my changes.

    I’ve been eating rice Cakes with peanut butter and also been having them with my fish. Today for my Dinner I had them with my noodle soup which was pretty bodanging.

    @Fire usually fruit and veg are a big part of my diet and something I count on to give me enough energy and nutrients throughout the day.

    My diary’s open to friends to feel free to add me if you want to have a peak.

    Edit: I forgot to add I found this Carmel rice cakes and omg they’re to die for they taste like popcorns Yummmmmmy

    I like to put a little cheese over a rice came and heat it up. Crunchy with warm, melted cheese.

    I love them! Aldi has sour cream and onion flavoured ones that I eat on their own (great replacement for fatty chip cravings!), and the plain ones, I have with avocado or dip. I also love the ones from Aldi that are covered in dark chocolate on one side. I’ve been losing weight while enjoying all of these.

    You should start a recipe thread & recreate his leaning tower of rice cakes :).

    Too easy :)

    Have you seen his leaning tower of rice cakes? Some of them are pretty massive. Could be interesting to see the combos you come up with.

    Didn't even know rice cakes were still a thing :D
    They were hot in the 80's and 90's.

    As a type 2 Diabetic, I can tell you Carbs are just sugar waiting to happen. But Rice cakes aren't terribly loaded with them compared to many grain/bread products.

    I hope you know the GI on rice cakes are extremely high and the body metabolizes into glucose regardless.....in terms of being a diabetic.

    I had to explain rice cakes to my teenager. lol However, in all seriousness, if you like it eat it, if not then don't. If there is something you like more, go for it.

    He doesn't appear to be eating them in isolation (from his description -- I haven't looked at his diary), so I don't think the glycemic index of the rice cakes on their own is all that important.
