Sugar is bad, but grains and carbs are the real enemies. Do the opposite of what the food pyramid tells you to do.
And rice is what again? Interestingly, looks like all the lowest obesity countries have rice as a staple in their diet.
Like it says back at the start of this chain, don't underrate the genetic component. Just because a rice-heavy diet works for East Asians doesn't mean it'll work for you. And they do have a fair amount of quality meat and veggies with that rice, they aren't just gorging on carbs all the time.
I've never lost weight so fast when all I was eating was white rice thanks to a severe gastrointestinal issue. It's magic stuff, I swear. Probably related to the shichi fukujin that live in it.
