Sri Lankans who got lean and built muscle: What do you actually eat?

I’ve reduced my rice intake to just one meal a day, and I still can’t seem to get rid of this belly fat. I work out 4 times a week, eat plenty of protein, and I’m in a slight calorie deficit as well, but I’m not seeing much progress.

The problem is that from time to time I just can’t resist the craving for rice and curry. I guess it’s in our blood. 😬

I was wondering, what do you Sri Lankan people eat to stay lean, have a flat stomach, and build muscle?
