Alright so my mom made quite the point earlier today that i just couldnt argue against. She said this " why dont you eat rice, you wont gain weight from it, why do you see no fat asians"
Kind of stumped me because its true, the only fat asians you see are the ones in north america because their lives are ruined by fast food restaurants.
So whats the deal, is rice good or bad to eat?
The fuck?

Um… have you been to Asia?
rice is not a bad carb source, also i like it because it isnt as filling as pasta so i’m able to eat more of it.
RICE
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Rice, it could save your life! What? No fat Asians…all this time I thought that sumo wrestling came from Asia…Japan?
Rice is better than flour products IMO if that helps. Hypoallergenic vs allergenic. Food can’t make you fat. Eating too much food makes you fat combined with lack of exercise, and you have the power to control each. If you’ve been eating it your whole life and nobody in your family is fat, then I would say that genetically you have good carb tolerance, so you can probably continue eating rice as part of a good diet.
Apparently the carb source doesn’t matter… its only macros and calories that count.
Discuss. 
and here we thought the 09’ers were fucking stupid
I live in Taiwan and there are two odd things.
You try getting fat eating with chopsticks.
Rice will get you swole!!!

Yes, there are quite a few fat ones. Not as many fat people as ‘back home’ (I’m from Canada)
It’s funny how little rice people seem to eat here. They fill up on veggies and meat and tofu and have a small bowl next to the main meal. Sometimes I have to ask where the rice is when I go out as many people here see it as cheap filler food. They seem to eat more noodles.[/quote]
I live in Asia too, and I’m asian. There are fat asian people.
Yeah, I think Taiwan’s kinda different, the food even within China varies as well (ie from North to South, etc). In my family we eat rice nearly every day, I’ll be interested to see replies on this thread.
I was thinking more along the lines of how good it is for bulking, not losing fat.

I eat rice almost every day, but I guess if I ever wanted to get very lean I’d have to cut it out. It would pain me, but it would likely be necessary.

So I guess Sumo wrestlers aren’t of asian descent? Heh…coulda fooled me!
btw, have you seen China’s portion sizes compare to “american portion sizes”?
Stop taking dietary advice from your mom…unless you mom is Jamie Eason…and if she is…we should hang out sometime.
