Rice is a high-carbohydrate food; consuming excessive amounts can lead to excessive caloric intake, thereby hindering weight loss and promoting weight gain. In daily life, consider replacing part of your staple foods with more vegetables and incorporating appropriate physical activity, both of which support healthy weight management. Foods high in sugar or fat are also calorie-dense—limit or avoid them altogether. Drink plenty of warm water and avoid staying up late, as sleep deprivation can disrupt endocrine function and contribute to weight gain.
