Wheat and carbs are so fucking evil

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

I thought eliminating wheat would be good enough.

I've been making meals with rice the past month (I'd say 60% white, 40% brown).

I literally look like I've ballooned :(

I still have a jawline but my face looks fatter so now it looks like my face is having a hard time deciding between looking toned and looking fat :(


I exercise and do cardio every day unless I'm feeling sick :(

Any advice on how to love food that tastes like garbage and doesn't fill you up?



And yes, I know, calories in calories out. Idk how I slipped so bad these past couple of months but like UGH no wheat and no carbs is just hard and I don't like meat very much (or dairy)

Im kind of getting the feeling that OP is one of those people that always see themselves as fat despite being in better shape than everyone they know....

You (allegedly) got fat on rice, but you're blaming wheat? 🤔

 

[Wyman Manderly]

I am so damn happy I can handle wheat/gluten because I love bread and pasta way too much.

There was a time where I would say I'm overweight but then someone took a video of me and I said "omg who's that stick..." and it was me

But that was like a year and a half ago

But ya pretty sure I have body dysmorphia whats ur point

 

[Conkersbadfurday]

I switched to cauliflower and just close my eyes and pretend.

I don't work out at all though, so it's not doing enough :X

Honestly I used to make keto bread quite often. I find baking to be far easier now so I should get back on it

 

[Tbm24]

I doubt it's the rice making you feel that way. Personally I consume very little carbs. I always hated the bloated feeling and I'm more green/meat/dairy/fish than anything else and feel fantastic.

OP, you might benefit from incorporating fasting into your daily schedule. Even if it's not explicitly to lose weight, you'll physically and mentally feel better.

Don't eat any carbs and instead eat a delicious/filling high fat/protein diet?

Maybe the answer isn't about dieting, but seeking therapy.

Also consider embracing body positively! Can't be paranoid about dysmorphia if you love yourself regardless.

edit: this isn't about becoming fat. And you won't become fat if you tackle your underlying body issues.

Strap on a fit bit and count those calories.

Set your budget to 500-1000 calorie deficit per day.

Boost your metabolism by drinking water and getting enough sleep.

If you're going to eat anything that's high in calories, try to make sure it also has fibre.

And eat a lot of protein (plant or animal, it doesn't matter as long as it's significant)

 

[antispin]

Processed carbs are shit. Look for foods with low glycemic load. White, polished rice is not good in general. Go for more brown, non-polished, if you can.

I just tell people to load up on quinoa. Go crazy with them beautiful seeds.

 

[cheesekao]

How much rice exactly do you have per meal? A small bowl's worth (roughly the size of your palm) should be sufficient.

Yeah I very recently came to terms with my chunkitude, and have lost 25 pounds exercising and watching what I eat.

My goal isn't to be twink or skinny, that is just not in the cards for me.

But I will be a beefy piece of manmeat, my tiny hank hill ass already double since june, by this time next year it will block the sun with my thiccness.

 

[SapientWolf]

Sounds like water retention to me. You could try drinking more water.

Buy a food scale. Download MyFitnessPal. Track everything you eat for at least a month. You are almost assuredly eating too many calories.

 

[Deleted member 41520]

You could also be intolerant to rice, so literally be bloating after eating it.

Also, strength training. Do that as well as cardio. Make bigger muscles and they spend more energy.

Carbs are carbs. It doesn't matter whether they're processed or any other nonsense. You can eat them just fine as long as other things are in line. Hell, I lost weight eating a package of funny bones every day.

Simply put, your macros are out of whack. 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat, or thereabouts. Do this within the calorie range you need to lose, maintain, or gain. Losing, you'll bias towards keeping muscle, and gaining, you'll bias towards building it.

 

[imbarkus]

Get more sleep.

 

[tadaima]

What kind of diet are you trying to do?

If you're going to cut wheat you may as well cut all carbs (except vegetables).

I lost 8kg over 2 - 3 months (now stable at 57kg but slowly transforming fat into muscle) by swapping carbs for more protein.

 

[msdstc]

You say in your very post CICO. just calculate what you are eating. Honestly rice is super filling for the calorie count, I recently incorporated it into my diet. Rice bowls with some chicken (fake or real depending on vegetarian) strips and broccoli with soy sauce. The whole thing comes in under 500 calories has a damn good protein ratio and is loaded with flavor.

I just can't turn the corner and get into quinoa. Not my jam.

Rather have no rice than seed rice.

A lot of people tell me that too. I feel like it comes down to the way it's cooked, honestly. (And seasoned of course.) Right when the little white tail comes out, it's done. For me anyway.

For real. I eat generous portions of rice everyday to boost my calorie consumption (along with at least 150g of protein everyday) which helps me keep my muscle mass. Still ripped at 37.

Carbs are not evil. Ultra processed shit is what you need to avoid.

 

[Slick Butter]

Carbs are evil. I am doing a very low calorie diet and dropping major pounds. Last time I tried my limit was 400 calories higher than this time, but I figured then that I'd eat carbs since I was limiting calories either way. Big mistake, made it impossibly hard because they don't fill you up and then make you more hungry later!

Now it's been pretty easy at an even stricter limit, eating few carbs.

 

[BLEEN]

Exactly. It's like an infinite∞loop. Hardest part about cutting them is that they are an ingrained (lol) staple to nearly every meal and they're fucking everywhere. Other than that, after two days to a week with no/minimal carbage, it's smoooooth sailin'.

Controlled for calorie count and with resistance exercise carb heavy diets make you fatter than protein heavy ones.

Protein/Fat heavy and carb diets will make you feel fuller and better and lose weight

OP, you chose to eat the carbs. The carbs didn't choose you.

Uh this is a serious issue, regardless of your diet or weight. Please seek out help for this as the ramifications are serious (disordered eating is one of the deadliest mental illnesses and you can do significant, long term damage to your health).

You could try not overeating.

Brown rice is the only healthy rice, as far as I know.

Got a source there?

 

[Advance.Wars.Sgt.]

Carbs are not the devil. Carbs from sources like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, sweet potatoes (you get the idea) won't wreck your internal homeostasis because they come in conjunction with plenty of minerals and fiber.

The carbs that are the devil are the highly processed ones and/or the ones high on the Glycemic index. So, not only the stuff like sugar and HFCS, but even things like apples, bananas, grapes, rice, nonfat dairy, and most wheat-derived products. And the answer is really simply:

1). During the production process these goods are stripped of nutrients/fiber to slow the digestion of the carbohydrate
2.) Sugar/chemicals are added only furthering the advancement of de novo lipogenesis.

Then you have to factor in, because we tend to eat some of these products heated, the creation of gylcated end products (sticky proteins) which weaken and clog up our arteries, and the fact soybean/canola oils, which are chemically derived unstable fats we eat constantly, create the same problems in our bodies.

So, in short: if you're gonna eat a carbohydrate, always consider:
A) it's glycemic index and B) whether it was highly processed.

I forgot to mention this, but also don't be swayed by the organically derived lable either - particularly with sugar. Because whether you're getting it from a fruit, all natural honey, or HFCS, biochemically they are all broken down the same and lead to the same problems (weight gain; Type-2 Diabetes).
