Rice?

[busybeebug 415]

When did you all try to do Rice? Or is that a no-no until you hit goal weight (or forever)? I love Brown rice but I can't find it in my literature from my Surgeon or Nutritionist. (I will ask them when I see them next week)

It is a no no for me during weightloss phase.

On my plan, it says to avoid it. Like Pasta, it will expand and make you miserable without offering much in the way of nutrition.

That being said, there are a lot of different plans and opinions. Personally, I have to stay away from carbs, so it you are really carb sensitive, I'd take a pass on it.

Its a no for me im only allowed 50 grams of carbs a day

I eat brown rice and other "healthy carbs" like legumes and fruit. I have not had a problem (with excessive appetite). I think this can vary from person to person though.

It's to limit on my plan. That means to me, you can have it on a special occassion or nice dinner but not everyday. Or every week.

@@busybeebug It's a forever no on my plan. Same as @@blizair09 - anything that expands (bread, rice, pasta).

It's a waste of space in your stomach during the weight loss phase as far as I'm concerned. In the early weeks out - it's actually dangerous (could easily get caught in your staple line and cause a leak).

Thank you. I'm sticking with no. I am going to try cauliflower Rice when i get farther along

Cauliflower rice? Is that making cauliflower into a rice type dish, or can you buy it ?

You take the florets and pulse them in a blender until they get to a Rice look/ consistency. Then you can dress it up with spices. Pintrest is my cooking bible lol.

I've heard of the cauliflower mashed potatoes but I'll have to look in to this rice thing

Trader Joe's sells frozen cauliflower rice for the lazy cooks amongst us (including me, so no judgment).

costco has it too, if you like to buy in bulk. It is the fresh variety with the veggies in the walk in refrigerator.
