Rice Diet Program

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.

The Rice Diet Program in Durham, North Carolina, was one of the first medical facilities in America to use diet as the primary way to treat diseases like obesity, diabetics and hypertension. Rice diet is primarily a vegetarian eating plan which features high-complex carbohydrates, low fat and low-sodium. People who follow rice diet program lose weight faster, safely, and effectively than any other people who follow other diet programs.

The phase 1 program includes grains and fruits. Medical supervision is mandatory and hence it is recommended to do the same at medical centers rather than at home. The rice diet food list for phase 1 includes lean cut beef, cheese, eggs, lamb, pork, seafood, vegetables, oil, veal, tofu, nuts, and dairy.

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.
