Weight Loss 2017: No Rice Diet Challenge

February 3, 2017 49 Comments

This is it! I am going to face myself with “No rice diet challenge.” I need to do this! It’s a must! Since 2016, I have not make a strict diet plan. A time has come. My belly speaks for it, saying “Hey! I am getting bigger, mama.” She’s right. I am feeling the load in my belly fats. It’s growing and I need a weight loss target to get rid of it.

 

No Rice Diet Challenge

No Rice Diet Challenge

My “No Rice Diet Challenge” starts now.

Because my stomach is getting bigger and my maong pants can’t breathe anymore, I have to do something. It’s an eye opener for me to be serious with weight loss plans. It is easy to say that I’m on a diet, but honestly hard to keep the spirit. Ganon! May spirit pala ang diet. Hehehe! I enjoyed so much with sumptuous foods. On every occasion, there is a special food preparation. Now that I am truly on a hardworking diet (naks!), it doesn’t mean that there will be no special food preparation. Still, there is, but I will be changing the foods to prepare to healthier choices.. Hmmm… It reminds me of the post I did “Healthier Choices at Robinsons Supermarket Wellness“. I might be visiting Robinsons supermarket often.

 

To get started, I prepared my no rice diet menu plan. Sorry kanin but I really have to do this.. For the meantime, goodbye white rice and see you soon brown rice. Why do I have to stop eating rice for my weight loss target? We know that rice is rich in carbohydrates. When we eat rice, these carbohydrates turn into glucose, which our body burns immediately or converted to glycogen to be stored in the muscles and liver for between meals. If we eat too many calories from rice, carbs or other food sources than our body can use, the cells store the excess as fat. In assessing diets of healthy groups and individuals, we should follow the Recommended Energy Nutrient Intake (RENI). It was posted by the Philippines Dietary reference intakes at the Philippine Food and Nutrition Research Institute.

Recommended Energy Nutrient Intake (RENI)

Recommended Energy Nutrient Intake (RENI),  credit source: http://www.fnri.dost.gov.ph 

My initial no rice diet menu plan:

  • Breakfast: 1 slice of wheat raisin bread and hard-boiled egg
  • Morning Snack: Healthy Smoothie neutral juice, Nilagang saging na saba
  • Lunch: 1 cup of green leafy vegetable, 2 pcs of grilled/roasted chicken(thumb-size)
  • Afternoon snack: Sweet Potato (nilagang kamote)
  • Dinner: 1/2 cup vegetable, half slice of wheat bread, Healthy neutral drink

Looking at the RENI table, an adult age 30-49, calorie intake should be 1,870 for female and 2,420 for male. It only means that we should be aware of the calorie contents of the foods we eat.  Same with the beverage we drink. Of course, we should be watchful as well with its health contents. You can actually view more of RENI by clicking the credit source on the caption.

As far as I know, effects of no rice diet is great. As a matter of fact, I did it before.  A year after I gave birth to my first born. I maintained my just right figure – no bulging belly. I am not aiming to be as sexy as the celebrities seen on TV but who knows.. Just kidding! I just wanted to be healthy, feel good and look good for my family. This way, I can be at my best in doing my worthy purpose here on earth.

 

Let the No rice diet challenge begin!

      I’ve done my no rice diet before so I think I can do it again. I am now on my 12th day and I lose 1 kilo already. Some of my friends can’t do it as well.. Thankfully, I have high endurance. I make sure to it that I eat healthy snacks(Fruits, veggies, low calorie biscuits) when I am hungry in between meals.

      Hi Gracie,

      I think you don’t need to try this no rice diet because as far as I know, if you are breastfeeding, you’ll get to lose those fats easily.

    My tummy is also getting bigger but it’s because it has a growing baby girl in it! However, I need to eat less rice as I don’t want my baby to grow so big. I am aiming to deliver her through NSD just like his kuya. Anyway, as I’ve read your initial no rice meal plan, I found myself craving for nilagang saging na saba. I love that as merienda/snack, too! I might ask the husband to buy me saba tomorrow! Haha! Good luck sis on your no rice diet challenge. It will be challenging yet the benefits for your health will be worth it. 🙂

    Hindi ko pa ata kaya ang no rice pero binabawasan ko ang pagkain ng rice. Kung before 3 times a day, ngayon twice a day na lang, unless may free food sa office. Hehe. Push for a healthier you, mommy! Sabi ko sa asawa ko kapag 30 na ako ayaw ko na mag kanin. hehe.

    If we only follow pala the dietary plans and checking the nutrients in them then konti lang pala dapat talaga ang kailangan intake. 🙂 lately I’ve been checking calorie counts and these are really helpful tips. 🙂

    I cannot do this! I’m like my family’s #1 buffet contender. Lol. Since I started breastfeeding 19 months ago, my appetite grew. I used to be very picky, but now I’ve been eating different kinds of things (still with the exception of beef). Thankfully, breastfeeding is helping me lose the pounds too. Good luck on this challenge mummy! 🙂

    The no rice diet was effective for my husband. Sadly though, he relapsed to his old habit as I am pregnant and did not prepare his food. Grrr. Now, it’s so hard to get him back on track.

    I’ve tried the no rice diet before but was not able to keep up with it. Ironically, I lost weight after giving birth last year. Not only did I lose the baby weight, I also lost a lot of the excess weight I had prior to giving birth. Weird! Now it’s breastfeeding that helps me get keep my weight down. Good luck in your weight loss journey!

    Ang taas pala ng required calorie intake for my age. Pero I need to get rid of rice talaga and I need to exercise longer. My 10-min HIIT workouts just didn’t cut it. So I’m now onthe 45min/day Zumba program.

    This is perfect since my tummy is also getting bigger! Lols. But the problem is, I can’t start a diet since I’m still breastfeeding my little one. Maybe when he starts weaning then I can start the no rice diet challenge. Bookmarking this post for my reference. Thanks for sharing!

    We’re most eating brown rice and corn grits in the house. Weight loss has been tough for me after two pregnancies and three kids (twins kasi ang una). I hope to get around a diet and exercise plan within the year. But until then… rice muna? Hehehe.

      Weight loss was tougher for me after I gave birth to my 2nd child. I was on a bed rest on the 7th month (confined for a week due to the early contractions in my 7th month pregnancy, they injected medicine to calm the contractions and steroids as well, so that my baby’s lungs will be developed just in case I give birth early – the side effects – I became bigger – my fats and muscles especially my thighs).

    I tried this kind of diet last year and I lasted only for 1 month. It’s just that every month, our house is celebrating an occasion. It’s just can’t. It can’t happen.

    Why? It’s either someone celebrating a birthday or we’re celebrating a festive holiday. The worst enemy you’ll face when losing weight is being tempted by a family member eating grandiose foods while you can’t.

      So true. You’ll be tempted to eat rice or more when your family members love feast and eat more.

    Good luck! It is really hard to stick to a diet plan. Like you my belly is bulging- big time in a span of one month. Just one month, I noticed that my tummy is growing in all directions and my pants/shorts are having a hard time coping up. I loss track of controlling my rice in take this Jan. to Feb. and the result is alarming. Ang bilis! I started to take conscious effort on my rice intake last June having to eat only one cup of rice for my one full meal a day and it worked amazingly I lost the bulge gain definition and with exercise I toned my muscles. But I stop the exercise regimen since it affected my period. Just stick with your diet program and enjoy the benefits afterwards. You just reminded me to get back on track, so like you I will. Thanks for the motivation.
