    OP, Check out these threads. Both contain a wealth of information on rice alternatives, eating healthy, and weight loss in general.

    Eating whole grains is a great start but that alone will not result in weight loss. Eating whole grains as part of a balanced meal made up of at least 50% vegetables and proteins, will reduce net calorific intake and help you lose weight. In the end weight loss is about creating a calorific deficit. You can do this by changing how much and what you eat, or by burning more calories. A simple tip is to eat a big salad before your regular meal, then eat a smaller portion of your everyday meal. You will feel full and still be able to reduce the total calorie intake.

    Here is some information on the different types of whole grains and their preparation. Most of these can be used as substitutes for rice. IL seems to resize the image for upload. You can view the full size image if you download it first.

    have you tried making sprouts khichadi? basically sprouted moth beans.

    I am making it tonight for dinner. For limiting the white rice, you can make matki gravy with onions, ginger garlic paste, tomatoes and add half of your usual rice in it ( if you eat 1 cup rice, take the only half cup for this recipe). Ideally, brown rice is good. But if you are transitioning from white to brown rice, concealing the strong taste of brown rice in your regular gravy is a good start.
