Have a bowl of brown rice with your meals rather than biscuits, white bread or rolls.

A bowl or two of naturally 'low calorie dense', either brow or white, with your meal helps you fill up and stay satisfied, leaving less room for belly-busting desserts.

What do you think? Does it work for you?

I love rice and eat with vegetables. Japan style! Works very well for me. I feel full on day :)

    I've been trying to ditch the bread in favour of brown rice and pasta (I'm trying to follow Low GI). It does help to make me feel fuller and I find I am less bloated (which is what the bread can do to me). I also think it gives me more energy when I'm at the gym later in the day.

    I like brown rice also but was kind of in shock when I started adding things up and realized how many calories it uses up! If I have brown rice now it's like a 1/2 cup max (or 1/2 of one of those little pre-packaged cups) and I can't eat it plain - I'll add salsa and black beans, etc to it as it's too boring, ha ha... but a 'bowl or two' no, I don't usually have that many calories to spare, hehe - I find myself going for a baked sweet potato instead a lot of the time... good suggestion though, to do instead of high calorie bread & butter!!

    I tend not to eat grains. They make me, and a lot of people, sick. I do find that protein makes me feel full longest, though. Chicken or yogurt works.

    I don't like too much because of the calories. I sustitute with lentils or quinoa. With curries though, I shred lettuce finall and have a korma dressing.
