OK! I'm Asian too! 80% of the popularity on this earth thinks that white rice is a fatty food that will make you gain weight. I'm a Norwegian-born Tamil who eats white rice for dinner almost everyday. and NO! I've never gained weight, unless I eat a MCDONALDS big mac beside the rice. So stop thinking that rice is something that will kill weight loss.0

"Elevated intake of white rice is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in Japanese women. The finding that is suggestive of a positive association of rice intake in physically inactive men deserves further investigation"
Plenty of interesting consumption and other stats in there too. Not a lot of obesity about.0 -
It's because the other foods which the people in those countries consume is mostly healthy.
I don't think any food should be vilified, but Americans are fat because of McDonald's.
Oh, we are?
That's so strange because I NEVER eat McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, Kentucky fried chicken, Taco bell, etc.
I've never eaten a hamburger, or any type of meat since I've been alive.
But thanks for letting me know, clearly you know more about my body than I do.0 -
I much prefer the taste of brown rice, and thats all I cook with in my house. I will eat white rice if we go our for a meal or are at someones house but find it very bland.0

That’s a lot of the problem when people do low carb diets, they get hungry so quickly because carbohydrates serve to expand in the stomach and help fill you up, satisfy you so you don’t keep eating.
Not me. I dont feel hungry at all after a low carb meal. There is a difference between HAVING to eat and WANTING to eat.0 -
One thing to keep in mind is that insulin is a biochemical prison guard that prevents your body from using stored fat as an energy source. So if the food you eat all day long is triggering insulin production, your body is unable to burn stored fat. While trying to reduce your body fat significantly, try to chose foods with a lower glycemic index.
Stop talking about things you don't understand.

Obviously something someone found online holds much more weight.0 -

I think it becomes an easy target, but in the end comes to calories in vs. calories out, metabolism, and genetics.
I agree. Love white rice! Mmmm....Korean sticky rice....0 -
Totally agree!!0 -
Lots of people have credentials, written books, given lectures. And just as many have different views on the same subject. When it comes to my body, I watch for signals and take my cues from it. And, with diabetes, I prefer to be advised by a person who has studied the disease and its effects....like an endocrinologist.0

It's not a mystery. Overconsumption is the issue.

Moved to China and after almost two years of eating white rice two times a day I decided I should switch to the healthy brown type. Well I found out it is not only cheaper, BUT also tastes like crap. WHO KNEW.0
