Weather of Arabia - "Rice Cake" or rice cake is included in many diets as an alternative to bread, potato chips or biscuits, being somewhat low in calories and low in sodium, but if you follow a healthy diet and are looking for meals to consume during breakfast, we advise you By staying away from “rice cake”, and we will explain in the following lines why it is better to stop consuming rice cake during the morning meal.

Each grain of rice cake contains about 7 grams of carbs (without much fiber), which means that if you don't add a source of protein or fat to slow down digestion, it can cause your blood sugar to spike quickly.

Eating carbohydrate-rich ingredients during the morning meal helps to suddenly raise blood sugar and thus insulin rise, which leads to a feeling of hunger immediately after breakfast is finished and thus eating more food.

Looking at the glycemic index or glycemic index (GI), which is a measure of how quickly blood sugar increases in response to food, rice cakes are considered high by 82 out of 100. This is also before any sugar or sweetening ingredients are added to the cake. While dates, for example, despite their sweet taste, have a low glycemic index, which makes them suitable for breakfast.

Choose brown rice cakes better than white

If you would like to eat rice cake during breakfast, replace the rice cake made from regular rice with the rice cake made from brown rice, as it contains a higher amount of protein and nutrients, which makes it better than the rice cake made from white rice in terms of feeling full for a longer period. Rice made from white rice lacks fiber, and some research has shown that white rice is linked to constipation.
