Rice Diet
The rice diet is a low fat, low salt diet, which despite its name is not centered on rice. It was developed in the 1930s at Duke University, and is sometimes known as the Duke University Rice Diet. The major components of the diet are healthy eating (fruits, grains, beans, vegetables, olive oil, non fat dairy and lean meat), walking, and taking time for yourself.
The rice diet plan is a very involved on which requires repition. Day one of every week is the “cleansing day” – your menu is two starches and two friuts for all three meals. The rice diet is one that can be done at home as the requirements are very simple and not very time consuming.
The remainder of the rice diet menu shifts between starch, dairy, fruit, and vegetable with fairly liberal servings. As in all diets, the real noticeable times to see any results are once you’ve gotten into a groove of sorts.
The rice diet program is a very easy one to follow; you can probably even just post it in a visible spot in your kitchen and you’ll know what to do. Download sample menus from the online resources which are available; you’ll be fine.
It’s always a helpful way to track the success or failure of yourself and of your diet by taking pictures of yourself before and after the diets conclusion and comparing the weight loss effects from both before and where you are at the diets conclusion.
While the endgame of this diet may seem a little tedious, there is something to be said for the regimented normalcy of the same food types and having a set thing to eat every day. I used to cringe at those commercials for diet shake drinks where they would say “Just have one shake for breakfast, one for lunch, then a sensible dinner; even pasta!” Because I’d think that’s such a load of hooey! No one can do only that. But now, as a grown up, I understand that for a lot of people, it isn’t even a choice; it’s a necessity.
