It is any kind of food item made from rice that has been shaped, condensed or other wise combined into a single object. As we all know, rice is the staple food of over half of the world's population. Our body needs carbohydrates but too much eating of rice plus no exercise causes you to gain weight.


Diet Microwave Meals

People who are on weight loss diets try to make their meals healthy, but if you are busy and do not have time to cook; you might turn to diet microwave meals. Although they are called diet microwave meals, they are not as nutritious as the meals you prepare yourself due to their often high preservatives and sodium content.

Salads

Consuming a salad daily provides many benefits to the body. Not all salads are created equal, some vegetables are low in calories and some dressings can also be high in calories.
