is rice cake is good to loose weights?

Question

Arsenic in rice - should I be concerned while breastfeeding? What about rice cakes, rice crackers, etc.?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

This is NG: Eat foods that are nutrient dense (like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, low starch vegatables and water) avoid foods that are not nutrient dense (like starches and sugars, including fruit) nutrient dense foods will increase your basal metabolic rate. On the other hand, starches and sugars impair thyroid metabolism via affects on your liver (which helps activate thyroid hormone).

Answer 5

Depends: With 21 years old, depends on your frame , you should be between 120- 130 lbs with your height.

Answer 6

First and foremost: Please believe me, there are no shortcuts. Consult with your doctor, have an examination and make sure you are healthy enough to exercise. Concentrate on one goal at a time. First- breakfast every day, no excuses. Next, a bit of walking every day, even if it's just 5-10 mins. Increase every week or two by 5-10 mins. Then, cut down on the bedtime goodies, especially sweets and carbs. On your way!

Answer 7

It should not: Opinates/narcotics in general don't have weight-gain as a side effect. They actually can suppress appetite a bit and people may lose wt while on these meds. For some, taking Methadone may allow the person to return to normal functioning (ie the person was doing drugs) which may including working, socializing/eating more and thus wt gain. Consult doc as u may have thyroid problem now. Good luck.

Answer 8

Methadone: Use of methadone does not cause weight gain in everyone. Females tend to have more issues with increase in body mass index than males when on maintenance Methadone (https://www.journalofsubstanceabusetreatment.com/article/S0740-5472(14)00218-9/pdf). Weight gain may be related to water retention & some people on methadone begin to eat more healthy foods as their over-all health improves.

Answer 9

Calorie economics: Soy milk does not cause weight gain anymore than other food (including regular milk). Weight gain occurs when the total calorie intake exceeds the calories consumed by the body in activities, leading to storing away of the calories. In general, calories from all food sources not used are turned to fat and stored for later use. Portion control is important. Avoid drinking too much soy milk.
