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.
