The main problem is not rice but the quantity of rice you are consuming.
Other options can be quinoa, barley, amaranth seeds, foxtail millet
But if you'll eat even these in more quantity it will also cause weight gain. So what you need is a personalized plan with quantity adjustments

Portion control matters more than completely avoiding rice. You can enjoy smaller portions with dal, vegetables, and protein for better satiety and weight management.
A rice substitute with better taste for weight management, you can try:
Quinoa – light, filling and protein-rich
Millets (foxtail, little millet, barnyard millet) – closest in texture to rice and good for weight management
Hand-pounded red rice / semi-polished rice – tastier than brown rice and more nutritious
Next Steps
For a Customised & Personalised Diet Plan, Kindly Book your consultation.
