Is rice cake is good to loose weights?

Rice Cakes: If eaten plain, rice cakes transiently fill you up with very few calories consumed. It is a carb and may trigger hunger once eaten and an unwanted insulin surge so that anything you eat on will be quickly stored as fat.

Probably not: Rice cakes, though somewhat low in calories (35-50), have quite a high glycemic index. This means that it can bring your blood sugar up more than other foods. This is not good for weight loss.

More protein: Rice is a carbohydrate and stimulates insulin production. In the presence of excess carbohydrate, the body stores the excess carbohydrate calories as fat. Try to eat 1 gram of protein for every 3 grams of carbohydrate each time that you eat.
