avoid white rice 

Singhmandeep. Avoid stupid comments. You don't know what kind of diet this person is doing. Don't judge her/his food if you don't know his/her story.  

Looks like the goal is to gain weight, and carbs like white rice can help. 

many body builder will eat like this due to the fact that rice can offer large amount of carb 

This is a judge free zone! Unless someone ASKS for your advise, please respect they're freedom to find their own path! One diet doesn't work for everyone. 

Why avoid white rice? Why would it make you gain weight? Carbs are mot likely to be stored as fat, it's a path not often traveled in the body. 

To answer your first question, Larm, no reason to avoid white rice if you're healthy, not fat, don't have heart disease or diabetes, and aren't insulin resistant. The second question and first sentence just illustrate a lack of research and understanding of how and why people get fat, heart disease and diabetes, and become insulin resistant.  

I never do well eating rice, has the exact same affect on me like pasta. I lean towards the potato, yams and squashes that have the same texture. 

wait...i didn't know that i get the comments here lol

White rice has no nutritional value, might as well drink an ice cold coke or some beer. On occasion white rice is ok, as a pre or post work out to carb up or replace the glycogen in your muscles. Cauliflower crumbles or a sweet potato or even a russet potato is much healthier. But if you gotta have it limit yourself. 

THIS PERSON IS TRYING TO GAIN WEIGHTTTTTT  

then the rice is super! LOL! sorry first thing i saw when logging on! Just had to laugh! No disrespect intended! 

I have lost 25lbs this far and have eaten white rice while watching my diet y'all are so judgmental this app is to help and encourage and if you had something negative to say keep it to yourself 

you go girl. I see you are trying to bulk. Keep up the hard work! <3 

rice isn't bad for you I ate it every day for lunch while in South Korea and still managed to lose 20lbs! 

Yeah guys, keep it positive. :)  

White rice is the main staple of millions of people in parts of the world.  

For diabetics, brown rice is better.
