<p>I've been replacing my usual carb sources with sweet potatoes and chestnuts lately, and thought maybe it'd be good to add some white rice in as well, especially since I'm running. I know it's sort of a safe starch. </p> <p>Anyone can share their experiences with eating moderate amounts of white rice (150g-200g/day) while Paleo?</p> <p>/edit: I'm thinking about having 1/4 cup white rice DRY (~37g) for dinner, but it won't completely replace my other starches like sweet potatoes and chestnuts.</p>

<p>If you aren't looking to lose weight, sure go ahead and have the rice.</p>

<p>I eat 100-200g (dry weight) of white rice PWO once or twice a week, and have been successfully shedding fat while doing so.</p>

<p>yes i eat it now and again.. even tho i'm on a weight loss dealio, i don't feel 'that' bad about eating white rice. it's more about what you eat with it i think, as long as it's not a carrier for unhealthy fats and or sugar then don't feel too bad about it.. marks daily apple did a bit on it.. called 'the asian paradox', that could be helpful for you. :) </p>

<p>If you want rice, cook it in bone broth rather than water. That adds tons of nutrients to an otherwise empty food</p>

<p>I use white rice as "clean" carbs PWO. I've been successfully cutting the last bits of stubborn fat using moderate carbs and intermittent fasting. When I was VLC, I couldn't get the last couple percent of body fat to go away, and my workout gains slowed to a halt. Now I cycle between low and moderate carbs, synchronized with my workout schedule.</p> <p>Long answer, but in looking for good carbs, rice and tubers rose to the top of the list.</p>

<p>I eat 1/2 cup of white rice a day. I have IBS and I find it helps with the consistency of things in that department. Now that I'm back at the gym I might increase it to maybe a cup. I find too much can be constipating but you can play around with the amount to see what works for you. </p> <p>I don't find it's affected my weight - I'm still very slim. </p>

<p>That's a great serving. ~150g of cooked rice ~= 200 calories. Add in ~250g of ground beef ~= 400 cals. Get the rest of your calories from fat, as you see fit.</p>

<p>If you do not mind me asking - why rice? Are you getting tired of sweet potatoes and chestnuts? Have you tried pumpkin and squash as a replacement? Are you looking for cheap but safe alternatives?</p> <p>If you love rice and cannot live without it - sure, why not. But both Okinawans and Kitavans use sweet potatoes and they are happy. </p> <p>Yes, I know - the whole Asia is built on rice, even Okinawans, but you cannot get beriberi from eating too many sweet potatoes. </p> <p>My body, which is SUPERSENSITIVE to foods, refuses rice. But it is okay with sweet potatoes, pumpkins and even parsnips. Not sure why - just sharing my body's reaction.</p>

<p>Roughly half my calories come from white rice. I do not eat to excess and am lean. </p> <p>I cook the rice in stock made solely from pig's feet, add a little oil and salt. Just about my favourite food. </p> <p>Nothing bad to report. I lost weight (midsection) eating more rice and decreasing overall calories. I am not particularly active apart from body-weight resistance exercises 5 times/week.</p> <p>The other half of my diet is nutrient dense.</p>
