Product Description

The New York Times bestseller. Before Atkins, before the low-carb craze, before counting calories, there was the Rice Diet Program.

Founded by a pioneering Duke University physician in 1939, the Rice Diet Program has been helping dieters lose weight quickly, successfully, and permanently. Now, this world-renowned, medicallyapproved weight-loss method can help everyone across the world--and not just those who travel to Durham, North Carolina.

The Program offers a high-complex-carb, low-fat, and low-sodium diet that sheds excess body fat at an astounding rate. On average, men lost 28 to 30 pounds per month, and women lost 19 to 20 pounds per month. The diet also cleanses the body of water bloat and toxins, and has been seen to help with such chronic health problems as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Included are hundreds of delicious, easy-to-fix recipes.

Rice Diet
This diet really works for me. I love pasta and rice. I lost 20 pounds in one and a half months and I didn't feel deprived. I have since slipped a few times but it is very easy to get back on the right track.

A good book and a good program but......
This really is a very worthwhile book to read, and I feel it is a very healty way to shed some pounds. I could only give it three starts because the serving portion examples were SO limited. You really have to read the author's previous book "Heal Your Heart" to get the full spectrum of food choices for this program. The Q&A section was lacking, and only a few questions were raised and answered. I didn't get a sense of what it's really like to follow a program that is so different from the mainstream diets. Protein is extremely limited, for example. All that aside, I still would recommend buying this book if you are really serious about losing weight and gaining health.

IT REALLY WORKS
I started the Rice Diet Solution on 2/16/2007. Today 9/20/2007 and I have lost 93 pounds and am still going strong. I highly recommend this diet to anyone who has tried every diet and failed!!
