Rice Diet Solution Review
 The Rice Diet History: The Rice Diet Solution gained popularity when Duke University's Medical Center opened the Rice Diet Center in 1939. The Rice Diet was created by Dr. Walter Kempner as a way to treat patients with malignant hypertension with kidney failure. Dr. Kempner felt that the kidney's role was excretory and metabolic. He theorized that lowering protein and electrolyte levels to a minimum would allow the kidney to do a better job metabolizing. His treatment was a diet of white rice, fruit, fruit juices and vitamins and iron. Initially, the diet was only used on patients with chronic conditions and for short periods of time and under supervision. The results that the patients experienced exceeded expectations. Dr. Kempner made a major breakthrough with the diet when a patient with chronic kidney disease (chronic glomerulonephritis) and chronic eye diseases (papilledema) misunderstood his German accent. the patient went on the diet and instead of returning in two weeks, she accidentally returned in two months. Her heart had made a noticeable decrease in size, her blood pressure has dropped from 190/120 to 124/84, her eye damage was resolved, and her overall health was robust. This occurrence led to longer use of the diet and over time the diet was used for numerous other illnesses including diabetes type 2, high blood pressure, cholesterol, common heart disease, narrowing of the arteries, chest pains, EKG abnormalities, stopping retinal hemorrhaging, kidney failure, and massive obesity. Advertisement: Over time the Rice Diet Center became a two to four week boot camp for weight loss and curing illnesses. It became so popular that movie stars and other celebrities visited the center. After 70 years, in 2002, Duke University ended its relationship with the Rice Diet Center. Dr. Robert Rosati, MD, took the center over until it closed in 2013. Kitty Rosati and her husband, Robert, put the diet on paper and published The Rice Diet Solution. (see Resources below for a free copy). they have published several best sellers about the Rice Diet.. How does it work? The diet claims that women should lose about 20 pounds during the first month and that men should lose about 30. The plan also claims that you will cleanse and detox your body and not be hungry. The diet is a low calorie, low sodium, low protein, low fat program. The diet consists of a 30 day meal plan at 1000 calories give or take 100 calories. The Diet is a plan for life. Dr. Kempner chose white rice because he felt it put very little stress on the kidneys. Brown rice seems to be preferred over white, but most experts seem to agree that you can eat either. The plan also recommends that you keep a comprehensive journal, exercise, and meditate. According to the book, this is "a physical, emotional, and spiritual program that will change the way you live."

Yes. The diet is a low calorie diet .Any diet that lowers calories and introduces exercise should help you to lose weight. FYI: The diet is considered to be lacking in calcium and vitamin D, so a supplement is recommended. The amount of protein is low and less than what is recommended. The diet is relatively bland, but there are many recipes to make it tastier. This diet should qualify for those who seek a low salt diet or a low fat diet.
