Eating rice leads to lazy feeling for sedentary lifestyle folks, but same RICE is a boon to moderate to heavy duty jobs as it provide instant energy, RICE is actually good for active people and less good for sedentary lifestyle like desk jobs.
Re: Do eating rice lead to weight gain ?

Sir, in my experience weight gain has nothing to do with eating rice. I am from north-east India and the only "overweight" community that I see around me is the one that does not eat rice (they mainly eat wheat, jowar, bajra etc.).

Please respect freedom of speech and refrain from blocking responses from rice eaters. (Only exception: Mr. Sawants's mail)
AUM Are you over weight? Cut out on Carbo, increse protein but eat lean meal - that is the advice given by dietitians and medics. Are they right? Opinions may differ but statistics do not. I wonder if a person from North India would appreciate that the rice eaters are overwhelmingly large in number all over the world. The wheat eaters are in appreciable numbers but reach no where near the rice eaters. Yet the advice coming from all quarters says cut out on rice. If rice eating was that bad, half of the known world would remain sick all their lives. In India that is Bharat, but for some areas in the North and the West, just about whole of the country comprises rice eaters. In the Indian Army, where I spent more than three decades of my military career, the wheat or Atta eaters form a majority and it is so because troops hail from atta eating regions of the country. It is easy to count their numbers because in the Quarter Master's muster roll there is a column that declares whether the soldiers are Atta eaters or Rice eaters. The former win hands down numberwise. It is for the first time that I have come across an authentic study result that declares Rice-eating a healthy habit. It has gladdened my heart. Despite the fact that we sow and harvest mostly wheat, children and adolescents mostly prefer to eat rice. They are happier thereafter. As a matter of compromise, parents advise children to eat a happy mix of wheat and rice. Indeed the sweet dish is a different cup of tea.
