I am on the rice diet. It's very strick but it gets results. Back in the late 80's I lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks. I started at 135 (so I wasn't very much over weight) but got back into a size 5 at 119 pounds. (I'm only 5'0"). But I was thinking, yeah well, I'm over 40 now, wonder if it will work. So far I'm a little hungry - but I just spread out my fruit and last night I had extra rice - so I got more than the regular 3/4 cup - but I still managed to lose. Today was easier and I feel so much lighter (water weight). It's for people who have heart disease or have salt issues. You can find it online but it's really easy cuz you don't get to EAT!
2 fruits 2 starches that's it. water, tea, coffee, diet rite (low sodium) (I'm not drinking pop) so it's easy. You can drink juice instead of fruit - but I don't beause I want the "filler".
You can have brown rice, white rice, shredded wheat, (not the sugary stuff) cream of rice (my favorite for lunch).
Now granted this isn't a long term solution, but no matter what I did before I wasn't getting past my weight. The fact that I saw results the very next day is what will keep me going for at least a week. I know people who fast for two days - so I should be able to do this for a week for pete's sake.
I feel so much better already. Anyway, you can find the book and complete diet online.
I'm eating fresh raspberries now. I couldn't finish my 2 fruits at lunch...stomach is shrinking!
Ok, good luck~!
