Slowly give it up, mine still yoyo about it, unfortunately I can't stop eating rice, but i try me best to avoid it if i can, but sometimes you just want to drink something a bit sweet here and there, you can try replace it with actually good sweetener that doesn't spike your insulin level, but slowly give that up as well, its hard work, but worth it if we don't use any sugar or sweetener in our food and drinks.

Carbohydrates range from complex to simple. Fiber to sugar. Something like white rice is closer to the simple side, and breaks down into sugars upon digestion. Other more complex carbohydrates break down much more slowly, or in the case of fiber not at all, which eliminates the sugar load on your system.

So, the giving up of some rice could be the next step to giving up sugar, though even simple white rice will be much healthier than pure sugar.

For further information, you might look up "glycemic index" and "glycemic load".
