You might think that the colour of your rice doesn’t matter. If you’re eating white rice, you’re missing out on a host of extra health benefits. Packed with fibre, brown rice will help keep you feeling full for longer while also greatly improving your digestive health.
It’s also a great source of magnesium, which will keep your energy levels up and vitamin B6. This will boosts your metabolism so you’ll burn more calories in the gym.
Here’s also a great quick tip. If you wash the rice in cold water before cooking, it removes any excess starch making it even healthier!

I’ve heard about washing the rice too but it’s just something I forget to do!
Feel full for longer, I like the sound of that! Especially when I’m dieting for my holidays.
