People often feel so good after being on this program that they are motivated to maintain the lifestyle changes they have made. Q: Okay, so now you have sold me on The Rice Diet, but how do I know I will keep the weight off for the rest of my life?Ī: Along with everything else in life, it takes a strong desire and commitment to make sustainable changes. As you lose weight and fat cells shrink, proteins are recycled from materials no longer needed. We also have multi vitamin and mineral supplements available each morning for nutritional “insurance,” Furthermore, our bodies are very efficient at recycling. Grains and beans, as well as fish, offer complete protein in fact, all food groups contain protein except for fat and fruits. There is no need to worry about nutritional deficiencies on the Rice Diet.
Rapid weight loss is only a concern when it is created by using non-food means and imbalanced or extreme restrictions (such as liquid, fad or very low carbohydrate diets).
Q: Is it is dangerous to lose so much weight so quickly? I am afraid if I don't eat enough calories and protein, I won't have healthy skin, hair, nails, etc.Ī: The Rice Diet is naturally nutrient-rich from the plentiful amount and variety of organic, local whole foods. Triglycerides will come down as you continue to follow a low fat, sugar and alcohol diet, which will also inspire improved weight, cholesterol and blood sugars. Salt is also an appetite stimulant, a hyper-palatable food that inspires overeating.Ī: Triglycerides and cholesterol may go up for a short time while losing weight, but this only occurs in about 15% of patients. Salt consumption is associated with increased blood pressure (thus increased risk of heart attacks and strokes), decreased kidney function, increased pressure in joints (thus worsening inflammation in arthritic joints), as well as other diseases and conditions. Part of the reason Rice Diet participants usually feel better in a matter of days is that they are able to rid their bodies of the excess salt and water they are carrying. A very small amount, less than 500 mg.a day, is necessary for normal body function.
Most Americans eat between 3,400 and 7,000 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day. Q: Why is salt restricted on the Rice Diet?Ī: When you consume much added salt or sodium your body can retain excessive and unhealthy amounts of water. Variety is assured as the menu changes every day. Then in Phase II participants choose from an expanded selection of over 30 items, including fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, fish and legumes (beans). The Basic Rice Diet, also known as Phase I, is a cleansing, detox stage that includes a large variety of grains and fruits. We serve primarily organic, local whole foods, including several types of rice. One active Ricer lost over a pound a day, for a total of 217 pounds in less than seven months! In addition to inspiring the fastest, safest, medically supervised, whole foods weight loss approach, the Rice Diet also produces the best long-term success we’ve seen published: 43 percent of our participants maintained their weight loss, or lost even more, after six years back home!Ī: Patients are seen daily by our medical staff, enjoy 3 meals a day at our dining facility commonly called "The Rice House," and attend daily activities for stress management, yoga, tai chi, or pilates, group therapy, and nutrition classes.Ī: Despite our name, food choices include far more than rice. It is very common for Ricers to lose several pounds per week. You will lose even more by gradually increasing your exercise. Over a period on months, a weight loss of 2½ to 3 ½ pounds per week (or 1/3 to ½ pound per day) is very doable. Q: How much weight loss can I expect to have when I come to your program?Ī: Though the rapidity of your weight loss depends on your age, sex, incoming weight, and ability to exercise, men lose an average of 30 pounds and women an average of 19 pounds in the first month they are here. While many come for the fastest, safest and most effective treatment for reversing these diseases, others come simply to optimize their health in a supportive environment, to be cared for by outstanding medical doctors, dietitians, psychotherapists and stress management practitioners, and to be served a delicious, no salt added, local, organic diet. Since 1939 patients from all over the world have come here for the treatment of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, congestive health failure, hypertension and renal disease.
Q: What is the Rice Diet Program & Heart Disease Reversal Clinic?Ī: We are an outpatient, full-immersion treatment center in Durham, NC.
