Rice... Reviewer: Mike       04-01-2004 I spent three and a half months at the Rice House and lost over a hundred pounds.

Great Experience Reviewer: Dave       04-01-2004 This fantastic diet plan is a unique experience that anyone overweight should go thru. I recommend it. Its more than just losing your extra weight. Its 'eating right' and taking time for yourself.

If you are interested ... Reviewer: Bob       04-01-2004 If you are interested and want more info on this Rice Diet...the book to buy is: The Rice Diet Report by Judy Moscovitz. I read it awhile back, its interesting. Its worth reading if you are interested.

I was on Rice Diet years ago Reviewer: Paula       04-01-2004 I was on the rice diet many years ago (22 to be exact). I wanted to lose the 10 to 15 extra pounds I had gained with my second child. It was one of the many "fasting" diets in a little Dell pocketbook (the kind you find at the checkout lanes in grocery stores). I don't know if they still make that particular book anymore. All I can remember is that I loved rice and thought what a perfect diet. I can fill up on something I love (you could eat all the rice you wanted). However, after the third or fourth day, the thrill was completely gone. I don't remember if you could eat anything else on this diet but I don't think you could. There was a warning that with all "fasting" diets, that the diet should only be followed for a certain number of days. I don't know if this is the same diet or if a newer form has mutated from it. But I do know that in orginal form, it was impossible to stick with.

If anyone is interested ... Reviewer: Nicole       04-01-2004 I think you are supposed to eat 1 fruit for breakfast, 2 fruits for lunch with a cup of rice, and then 2 fruits for dinner with a cup of rice. You can substitute puffed rice for regular, but no milk or anything. Your'e supposed to do that for as long as humanly possible, then start adding other things like a cup of tomato soup after a few weeks. I've heard of people who've lost up to 12 pounds in a week doing this.

Not a real diet! Reviewer: Gordon       03-24-2004 The rice diet I'm familiar with was a quack diet that didn't have sufficient variety to be nutritious. I'd stay away from that sort of thing. Rice is fine to have on your diet, but it shouldn't be your only food.

Be careful before starting a diet like this. Reviewer: Carolyn       03-18-2004 Be careful. Be very, very careful. You need balence in your diet. Fruits, veggies, protien(not nescessarily meat). Round out your diet. Your body will thank you for it.

I plan starting this diet soon Reviewer: Moe       03-16-2004 the rice diet claims that something like 68% of it's participants at the center maintain their weight loss after a year out, which is pretty significant. Based on that fact alone is making me want to sign up.

6 years ago i tried this diet Reviewer: Jim       03-14-2004 I "dropped" 50 lbs in about 10 weeks. I've since gone on to lose another 70 lbs. The rice diet was a good starting point for me since I had so much to lose.Having said all of that, I don't recommend the diet. What has worked for me (just me and my $0.02) has been learning about, proper nutrition, emotional eating and also commiting to an exercise program. Did the Rice Diet give me that? No! The Rice Diet was a quick fix for me (that worked).

The type of rice for this diet makes a big difference Reviewer: Mona       03-01-2004 It makes a big difference what sort of rice.... most long grain and "quick" white rices have glycemic indexes between 80 and 100, whereas basmati rice is only 58 - that means it doesn't raise blood glucose as much or as quickly for the same amount of carb.

If you want to 'snack' don't try this diet Reviewer: Sheila       02-26-2004 With the Rice Diet, you can ONLY have SEVEN portions of food a day. You can only eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. No snacks.
