Dietitian take: white rice is not your enemy.
It is a refined carb, yes. But it is also a cultural staple eaten by billions of people in some of the healthiest populations on the planet. The problem was never the rice.
Add protein. Add vegetables. Add beans or a healthy fat. That combination slows digestion, steadies your blood sugar, and turns a simple bowl of rice into a genuinely balanced meal.
Eat the rice. Just build the plate right.
