Hi. I have 2 questions. First, I know brown rice is better than white rice but is white rice really bad for you or is it just not as good for you as brown rice? and second, I was in cvs and I saw this drink called "enviga, the calorie burner" it's some kind of green tea or something, my question on this is is it any good or no? Thanx alot guys.

White rice isnt bad compared to many other options, but it is a long shot from brown/basmati rice in terms of nutritional content and carb quality.Originally Posted by KTC1369
Green tea will help increase thermogenesis, aka. extra body heat, but its not going to be huge. Drinking a few cups a day might help you burn an extra 50 or 60 calories a day...
I would still recommend drinking it, because it has great health benefits..

The difference is more minimal than people think. Brown is better, but not by a landslide. White rice IS brown rice...stripped of the husk and stripped of a lot of nutrients.Originally Posted by KTC1369

ok.
ok, so white rice isn't bad for you? like it won't make you fat if your trying to lose fat?
P.S. I know any and every food can make you fat if you eat a crap load of it but when I ask if it won't make you fat I mean if you eat a normal amount of it, like maybe a cup or two per day. Thanx again

Well, hold up a second. No, white rice isn't "bad" for you, but it's not an optimal food to eat 1-2 cups per day of if you;re trying to lose weight. If you're trying to lose, go out of your way to eat brown...and keep the brown to under 2 cups per day (depending on your stats..blah, blah, blah).Originally Posted by KTC1369
You have to be careful how you ask a question in this forum. Nobody has time to answer with every possibility or variable in mind."If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."
