: Hi all,

: As I'm currently residing in
: southeast Asia, and I'm also
: gluten-intolerant, I'm utilizing
: rice a lot. The thing is, I
: avoided rice all the time because
: I preferred other things like
: donuts, cakes, cookies,
: etc...anyhow, I have found that
: since rice is so easy to obtain
: here, I often have rice porridges,
: or rice with vegetables and beans
: or tofu in the evening.

: I even wonder if I could have rice
: with veggies as a breakfast. I
: know that sounds strange...but
: it's better than having pop-tarts
: or another sweet breakfast item
: only to want more sugar throughout
: the day!

: What are your thoughts on this...I
: don't need to give up the rice for
: now? I need to focus on breakfast,
: just breakfast...right?

: Just eating within the hour of waking
: up, and keeping this goal up for a
: consistent amount of time until it
: feels regular? I know it sounds so
: silly but I think it really will
: take me SO long to do this. To
: actually eat early in the day and
: do it for a long amount of time...

:

Rice is just fine for where you are now. And I think using a local staple
is an excellent idea.

Do you think you can look for a protein that you might have with it for breakfast.
Veggies are a great thing for breakfast, but look for a protein too.

I think you are doing great.

warmly,

kathleen
