rice cakes

Has anyone lost weight eating rice cakes? I posted questions about mexican food and cranberry juice earlier too, and I want to say thanks for responding! I'm working to lose 5-10 pounds by March 6th. Does that sound reasonable by the way?

Thanks :)

Rice cakes don't fill me up at all, so I know that wouldn't work for me.
How about adding more fruits and veggies?
Cutting out all drinks except for water? (and your morning coffee)

I don't use rice cakes in a way to lose weight, I use them as an alternative to bread, ryvita crackers or as a snack.

I guess if you were replacing all bread, cakes, pastry, with rice cakes you would in that situation lose weight.

I would add peanut butter to those rice cakes, that way you are getting protein and nutrients. I don't think they are filled with vitamins and minerals as they are a processed food. To lose weight you still need to eat healthy.

They're low calorie compared to a slice of bread.( About 40 calories less depending on size and brand). I don't think they are a particularly filling food but they might be god if you get the spices to flavor them with when you have the salt munchies perhaps. It is always nice to have some variety, so I think rice cakes would help. Also, try plain popped popcorn.
