Aug 28th, 2008 by Raymond Lam
Overweight has always been a problem faced by many people across the world. It invariably leads to health issues such as hypertension, cardiac troubles, sleep apnea and diabetes. The only way out of this mess is to shed those extra pounds around your waist by embracing some weight loss diet plans and follow it religiously. Of which, the most popular and successful technique is the Rice diet program, formulated by Walter Kempner of Duke University. Hence it is also known as Duke University Rice Diet. The highlighting point is about Rice diet is that, unlike other popular diets, the Rice Diet is medically supervised.
Unlike the name, Rice diet program has little relation with rice. To say simply, Rice diet program is a low-fat, low-salt diet reducing obesity and maintaining good health. It is a primarily vegetarian diet which works wonders if followed punctually for two to four weeks of dieting. It is served as 3 meals a day.
Phase 1 - In this phase, the diet mainly comprises of fruits and grains. It is highly recommended that you undergo this phase under medical supervision. It is also recommended to continue at least for half the time you plan to do the dieting.
Phase 2 - This phase incorporates a lot more vegetables and other carbohydrate rich foods along with fruits and grains. Also you could consume fish once a week.
The second phase of the diet allows dieters to add fish, beans, vegetables, and other types of carbs to their own menu. The Rice Diet program is best suited for those who are extremely overweight and have been struggling with obesity since childhood or for a few years. It is also for people who need to lose a lot of weight, not just a few pounds. The diet is not for everyone as it is also very costly.
