hi,
Thank you for you query, i understand your concern .
Your sudden increase in weight has nothing to do with consumption of rice (1 or 2 cup rice is required carbohydrate for body) . Your friends might not be putting on weight because of their increased metabolic rate, or because of their good physical activity.
If the weight gain is been on the rise all of a sudden then i suggest you to get a thyroid profile done , also get your other hormone levels checked (FSH, LH, DHEA).
follow up with me once you get the results, meanwhile involve yourself in some kind of physical activity and stay on a balanced diet.
hope this helps.
wish you good health.
