Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I'm glad this discussion group was featured in the homepage. I've always believed that it's the vegetables that make food taste great and not the meat. Anyway, after many years and at 273.5 lbs (at 5.3 feet in height), I've just started doing something about my health. I still can't say I'm a vegetarian, but I've eaten less meat for so many years because I am more fond of vegetables. I'm obese because I haven't been exercising. I've just started playing badminton last Wednesday. I hope I can supplement it with a good diet on fruits and vegetables. By the way, I'm 31 years old, male and living in the Philippines. I have a 15 month old daughter and I would like to be around and healthy when she goes to college some day. Question: Does rice (boiled not fried) make us fat?

I think that brown rice is a very healthy food, and everything in moderation is a good policy. Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 > Question: Does rice (boiled not fried) make us fat? No. The only that makes you fat is eating more calories than you expend with exercise and existing. You can check out room42 http://www.room42.com/nutrition/basal.shtml - it will give a general idea of how many calories you need just to exist, and some additional info. On the other hand, if the primary components of your diet are white, refined, and/or otherwise processed... you may not get fat but you're likely to be unhealthy.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Plain boiled rice should not make us fat. It is good to eat because it helps transport a lot of rubbish from the bloodstream - this rubbish being mobilised by the vegetables that we eat. If we do not eat items (rice being one of them) that transport them from the body we can end up with arthritis - which happens fairly frequently after people do an unbalanced detox.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I believe everything in moderation. If you eat to much rice, sure it will make you fat....that is true of all foods. Good luck with your weight loss! Bonnie - Daniel Truce Veg-Recipes Thursday, May 06, 2004 11:56 PM Hello, I'm new. I've been wanting to go full vegetarian.

Carbs are equally as bad as fat. At least fat has some nutrition and carries some vitamins; many carbs like sugar (the biggest culprit in American diets), white flour and white rice have little nutritional value, and we eat way too much of them.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi, I don't know if that is true for everyone with arthiritis, However my dad has rhumitoid arthritis and he needs to stay away from the night shade. Although I think that he is ok with cooked tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
