One of the hardest things I ever did was give up white rice... and then more recently, I decided to give up brown rice. (In both cases, I did it to lower my intake of carbs.)
It sucks because I grew up eating rice 3x a day... and now, I can never eat it. Booo!!!
Man I miss rice.
Do you eat rice? Do you love it so so so much?

I eat rice probably 1-2x per month. So not that often, but I love it!

DH will refuse to eat if there is not rice. Seriously, it could be the most delicious meal in the world, but if there is no rice he would rather just not eat. What. The. Heck.
I like it ok, and eat it more than I probably should simply because it is always around and I don't want to make something else. DH refuses to eat brown rice, too, which makes me feel yucky sometimes.

I like rice but I can't eat too much these days because of my gestational diabetes. 2/3 a cup a dinner!

We used to eat nice every single night growing up, no matter what we had for dinner. Now we eat rice a few times a month. I love rice; especially if I feel sick, a little white rice with butter always makes me feel better.

@chopsuey119: You're like a little red cartoon devil whispering in my ear... "Go ahead, eat the rice. You deserve it!"

@mrbee: jk I so terrible. Great job sticking to you no rice diet!!

I grew up eating rice everyday. Although I could never give up rice completely, I don't need to eat it everyday.

DH's family avoids rice like the carb plague, meanwhile after meeting me he's learned to feel like he hasn't eaten if he hasn't had rice! Needless to say, there is always rice in our rice cooker (but it never sits there very long).

I loved rice during my first pregnancy, so much, until I had morning sickness. Now I can't eat it. Unless it's in sushi, then it's okay.

I'll eat it at a restaurant, but at home I usually substitute quinoa or bulgur in.

Sticky white rice is pretty much one of my favorite foods on the planet. I'm a carb monster and I don't even feel bad.

Like @yoursilverlining, we had rice for dinner every night growing up (e.g Steak and rice). We replaced potatoes with rice I suppose? I wasn't a fan of rice growing up, I prefered protein so my brother and I would swap "goods" when our parents' backs were turned in order to finish our meals so we could leave the dinner table.
Hubby has to have rice with certain entrees, otherwise he refuses to eat it. We eat rice pretty often, but I try to protion control.

I couldn't live without rice. I have at least 4 kinds in my kitchen right now! I don't plan on cutting out out completely, just try to keep portion size correct in relation to protien and vege.
Mmmm.. Rice.....

I love rice and can't live without it. I would give up pasta, bread, chocolate, and candy before I gave up rice!

We eat it very rarely--usually only when we go out to a Mexican restaurant. I love Spanish/Mexican rice.

I can't live without white rice, we have it at least 5x a week!
@mrbee: it sounds like you guys do eat Asian food at home... how do you eat Asian food without rice?? That just feels... incomplete! Do you have some other carb substitute?
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@sweetchic: I just eat it without rice. I agree that it's incomplete! But I've lost 30 pounds or so off my peak weight... so it's a tradeoff. I sure miss it though!

@mrbee: Do you eat other grains, like quinoa? Because I once made some pretty good sushi with mixed grains, no rice. Not bad.

Heck yeah, there is no point in living if I can't ever eat rice again. Seriously.

@mrbee: wow, that's dedication. I don't have the willpower to give up something as essential to my daily diet as rice!!

@sweetchic: I agree! Rice without Asian just doesn't seem right!! but, we really need to start cutting back, too...
