Hye, Really thank you for this query. This is the most common misconception and query people have today. Carbs are bad, or rice has starch or its fattening, etc are nothing but fads of people trying to follow a culture that goes against our traditional wisdom of food. There are a few things that you must first know about rice. Rice contains negligible fat. It eases bowel movement and rids you of distention. Rice has starch but understand that starch is a source of energy for our body, so we need it. Rice, when eaten with proteins and healthy fats like dal/sabzi/meat/dahi, etc reduces the sugar increasing property of the meal and hence won't raise your blood sugar. It has amino acids which when consumed with dal or dahi, for example, completes the amino acid profile of the meal. Thus, for a vegetarian even rice with dal or kadhi or curd can become a complete protein food. Rice is carbohydrates so most people are told to avoid it in dinner.� No food should be viewed in isolation considering a single nutrient from it. Rice has essential nutrients. Carbohydrates are also essential for our body is much more easy on the gut, therefore great as a dinner option. Rice has in fact fat burning properties. Eat the rice that is, hand pounded or single polished rice which is pale whitish. So, no need to opt for brown rice or rotisserie just to lose weight. Let go off your fear or guilt of eating rice or for that matter any food that you have grown up eating. It is not rice but many other factors that are responsible for weight gain. So, eat rice and feel happy. Is that not what eating food should be, happiness.
