Rice Diet Report

This was the best diet I had ever tried! My sister and I went on this diet back in the mid 80's. She chickened out after a week or so, but I stuck with it and I actually lost 13lbs in the first week. I was so shocked and thrilled that I stuck with it - even though it was TOUGH!! But in the end I lost 65lbs within a year and kept it off until I had my first child in 1992. Five years later I had another child and still haven't lost the weight from the first pregnancy. But that's okay. I loaned the book out and have never gotten it back. I'm doing an out-of-print search for it now and when I find it, I will back on the road again. If you are optimistic about diets, try this one first. You will change your mind quickly and happy weight lost!!!

A fantastic book. I've lost over 40lbs already the past 6 weeks and have another 35lbs to go. Everyone I know really wants a copy of this book but unfortunately it is out of print. So I'm making a website that will have the summary of the book so that others may benefit from it's great diet.

i must say that i was so tired of being overweight and the first 4 days were tough but in one month i lost 32 pounds! thanks judy for your report and thanks duke university and dr. kempner for your work, i continue to be on this diet until i can lose the remaining 45 pounds i have to go...

I first bought this book in 1986 when it was first published. I related to so much of what Judy Moscovitz had to say and what she felt that I couldn't put the book down. I highlighted areas that I found to be inspiring for me and to this day I refer back to the book when I find myself getting out of control and need help and inspiration to get back on track. The plan is very disciplined and difficult in the very beginning but the results are so rewarding that you can't help but continue. I have used the plan three times: the first time to lose 37 pounds, and twice after the births of my daughters. I am on it again as I write this review. I read and re-read sections of this book daily. I would love to know how Judy Moscovitz is doing now.

The Rice Diet book helped me to drop 65 pounds eight years ago and keep it off for four years (until I got pregnant again and gained 40 extra pounds!). Now that my baby's weaned, I can't wait to go back on this diet! It's safe, and unlike other diets which try to make food more delicious, this bland diet helps you distance yourself from the love of food (as the author says, we already love food too much or we'd all be thin!). Really well-written and thought-provoking--a good snippet of information on every page.
