Is Rice Healthy for Weight Loss? Nutritional Value & Portion Control

Question
I'm 18 years old and I weigh 127 pounds. I am on a diet and I want to know if rice is healthy and does it have no fat and if a person on a diet should eat it a lot or less?

Answer
Dear Mandeep, Rice can be part of a healthy diet, it is in many cultures. Eat it in moderation as it is a carbohydrate food that is used to provide energy. Eat too much of it and the body will store it as fat. Check the package serving size and stick with eating one serving size per day. Hope that helps, Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
