Amaka: Chidinma, I’ve finally done it. I’ve removed rice from my life completely.
Chidinma: Removed rice? For what reason?
Amaka: Because I want to lose weight. Rice is the problem. Too much sugar, too many carbs. I’m serious about my fitness now.
Chidinma: Interesting. So what did you eat yesterday?
Amaka: Bread and egg in the morning… small shawarma in the afternoon… then noodles at night.
Chidinma: And you think rice is your problem?
Amaka: …when you say it like that ehn.
Chidinma: See, let me explain something properly.
No single food is the problem.
The issue is how you use the food.
Rice did not suddenly become dangerous.
What matters is:
– How much you are eating
– What you are eating it with
– When you are eating it
– And how often
Amaka: But people say rice makes you add weight fast.
Chidinma: People also say a lot of things without context.
Rice is just a source of carbohydrates.
Your body needs carbohydrates for energy.
The real problem is when:
– Your portions are too large
– Your plate is mostly carbs with little protein or fiber
– You are eating late at night with no activity after
– You are stacking multiple high-calorie foods in one day
Amaka: So it’s not just about removing rice?
Chidinma: Exactly.
If you remove rice but still:
– Snack constantly
– Drink sugary beverages
– Eat refined foods all day
You won’t see real results.
But if you:
– Control your portions
– Balance your plate (protein, fiber, healthy fats)
– Eat at the right times
– Stay consistent
Even rice can fit into your plan.
Amaka: So rice is not the enemy?
Chidinma: Rice is not your enemy.
Lack of structure is your enemy.
Mindless eating is your enemy.
Inconsistency is your enemy.
Food is just food. It’s your habits that determine the outcome.
Amaka: Hmm… I think I’ve been fighting the wrong battle.
Chidinma: Exactly. You don’t need to fear food.
You need to understand it.
Once you understand how to build your meals properly, you stop guessing, and your results become predictable.
