Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Rice is normal constituent of almost all diet across India.

Please understand that anything excess when taken can lead to gain in weight.

Weight gain occurs when the number of calories you consume exceeds the amount used.

Any food, including rice, can contribute to weight gain if eaten in quantities that cause you to exceed your maintenance level of calorie intake.

To lost weight you need to plan your diet and take everything in balance amount.

Diet and exercise forms to important pillar any of any weight loss programme.

In nutshell only stopping rice may not produce desirable weight loss if other aspects are not taken care of.

Dr.Pragnesh
