How to eat rice without gaining belly fat?

Choose brown rice: This whole grain is high in fiber, which helps keep you full longer and aids digestion. Its lower glycemic index allows for a slower, more steady rise in blood sugar, reducing the risk of insulin spikes and subsequent fat storage.

Practice portion control: Watch your portion sizes. A typical serving of rice should be 2–4 ounces (62.5–125 grams) of cooked rice. Avoid overeating, as overconsumption can lead to excess calories and weight gain.

Pair with vegetables and protein: Pair brown rice with a variety of vegetables and a good source of protein, such as lentils, chickpeas or chicken. This helps balance your meal, providing sustained energy and preventing overeating.

Steaming and cooking rice properly: The way you cook rice can also affect your weight. You should steam or cook rice in the usual way and avoid frying rice with too much oil or ghee as this can increase the calorie content.

When to eat rice: Consider eating rice earlier in the day, such as at lunch. Carbohydrates consumed earlier are more likely to be used for energy rather than stored as fat.
