You need rice with some kind of protein.

While rice makes up a large portion of their diet they do not live on it alone. Often it has fish or other sea food along with local vegtables. While you could "live" on it you would not be healthy. Lack of protien, vitamin c and other things would have you looking like Amy Winehouse after a few weeks.

No. You need essential amino acids which rice doesn't have. Most bean crops have these amino acids.
Remember, you don't need any protein in you diet, just all essential amino acids. And essential fatty acids. With enough carbohydrates so you can synthesize all other amino and fatty acids. It is amino world without chemists. |

Rice alone no.
Rice and beans is a complete protein though, and is a staple for the majority of the world. |

I don't know about rice, but you can survive on ramen noodles alone for a long time.

here's a simple poor peasants meal
hot bowl of rice with a raw egg on top for some protein, the egg cooks instantly over the hot rice |

Beans may not have enough fatty acid. |

I read you don't need carbs but if you don't get fat and protein you will surely die.

Ever see those pics of "fat" kids in Africa? Gigantic distended belly, but otherwise skinny as a rail?
That is what happens when you overdose on rice without enough protein. Kharn |

No. Not long term. You still need protein and other essential amino acids and vitamins.

Quoted: No. Not long term. You still need protein and other essential amino acids and vitamins. You don't need a gram of protein. All proteins you consume are reduced to the constituent amino acids in digestion, you cannot absorb proteins. Rice lacks a few essential amino acids. Combining beans can offset, making for all essential amino acids. Then your body can manufacture all other non-essential amino acids. Likewise with essential fatty acids, only beans and rice lack some. So you need nuts. Better yet, just have 2 eggs a day. Bam, all essential amino and fatty acids. |

The eggs also give additional B Vitamins. Although a better source of B12 is dairy products. A true vegan who doesn't take some kind of B12 supplement will become profoundly deficient. The small amounts of fish or meat in most Third World diets is usually enough to supply B12. ETA: To answer the OP's question: NO! |

We both agree that rice alone cannot sustain human life over the long term. Proteins would have to be added and varied enough to get the necessary nutrition to live. I wonder also about exactly how many different vitamin deficiencies there are and whicch ones can kill. Any info on that? |

If you eat a bunch of rice, you will suffer from elevated blood sugar levels.
I worked as a Missionary for a year, ate probably 50% of my calories from rice, you definitely feel the difference - sluggish and tire more easily. |
