6. White Rice
At the end of the day, white rice is not the villain everyone makes it out to be if it's consumed in moderation.
However, if you're wanting to lose belly fat, you may want to try other types of rice that are less processed and still have their nutrients in tact.
"The 'worst' type of rice for belly fat loss is white rice. It's not necessarily bad for you, but white rice is more processed, which means it will lose some of its nutrients in the processing phase. White rice also has the lowest fiber per serving and highest carbs compared to black rice and brown rice. Low fiber won't help you keep full and ultimately will make you hungry a little faster. So, if you're focused on belly fat loss, stick to brown or black rice, as those rices are higher in nutrients," says D'Angelo.
