Is"rice" good for you when you want to lose weight?

Tricky question: There are many approaches to losing weight. The best are those which bring the body's natural systems into alignment to burn fat and build muscle. Rice can work either way, to gain or to lose. In an intermittent fasting plan, fasting through the day and then eating whole grain white rice or yams for the evening meal is said to modulate the hormone leptin, helping the person feel less hungry.
