Rice
Diet
The name makes it sound like
just another gimmick but this diet plan is anything but. The
Rice Diet is a weight loss program that is run from Duke
University in Durham, North Carolina. Participants in the plan
have experienced great success.
The Rice Diet is a medically
supervised plan. The diet can be followed for as little as two
weeks depending on the needs of the participant. The program
requires that the participants live in the facility for the
duration of the program.
The diet was developed
almost eighty years ago. The doctor that developed the diet
wanted to see if certain diseases could be affected by what we
eat. He was hoping to find that by changing the diet, the
progression of conditions like diabetes could be
reversed.
The diet emphasizes rice as
the main staple of the plan. It was observed that people, who
ate a diet of foods where rice was consumed on a regular
basis, enjoyed a life with few instances of hypertension,
stroke, or diabetes. This can be seen in Asian countries where
rice is eaten at almost every meal.
The participants eat plenty
of fruit, vegetables, fish and of course, rice. The food
choices are quite specific which accounts for the quick loss
of weight. Portion size is regulated so that patients learn
how to eat and what is normal for serving sizes. Portion sizes
have gotten so out of control in this country that everyone
needs to be retrained to understand how much they should
actually be eating.
Fat and salt consumption are
kept low. Salt is not recommended in particular for patients
with high blood pressure. This can be a problem for
"salt-a-holics". But, using a lot of salt to season food leads
to fluid retention and bloating. Patients are shown how to
season food with spices other than salt. Fat is kept low so
that the body will use it's own stores as fuel.
Patients have access to
classes that teach all about food and how to eat properly for
optimal health. Support is available for those who need help
during their stay and how to manage after the program is over.
Since the program is supervised, the health of the patient is
watched for any major problems.
The program is costly.
Staying in a program of this sort for any length of time will
require big bucks. You may need to take out a personal loan if
the program is what is needed in order to lose
weight.
Participants do have access
to support resources once they finish the program. This
support ensures they continue to enjoy weight loss or weight
maintenance at home. The program is also available online for
people to check out what the plan offers and see if it is
right for them
you will know we have the BIGGEST opportunity
on the planet to help people with health
challenges!
