Learn More »The Promise Despite its name, this diet is not just about rice. It's been around since 1939, and got a new wave of popularity when The Rice Diet Solutionwas published. You'll lose weight by slashing calories, sodium, fat, sugar, and protein, according to the plan, which also says it will "cleanse and detox your body," without making you feel hungry. How much weight? Everyone is different, but during the first month, women lose 20 pounds and men lose 30 pounds, on average, according to the book. But there's more to it than your weight. The plan also recommends exercise, keeping a food journal, and meditation to help achieve balance and manage stress. As the book says, "it's a physical, emotional, and spiritual program that will change the way you live." What You Can Eat and What You Can't The plan is quite restrictive. It includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-salt beans, and other lean protein. Every day, you get servings of starch, nonfat dairy, fruits, and vegetables. The diet has three phases, and the first phase allows only 800 calories per day. Calories gradually rise to 1,200 per day. Alcohol is off-limits. Level of Effort: High You're going to cut way down on calories, salt, fat, and sugar -- all at once. The Rice Diet got its start as an inpatient way for clinics to help treat diabetes and hypertension. If you're on a very low-calorie diet of 1,200 calories or less, you should be monitored by a health professional. Limitations: All the food groups are fair game, but portion sizes count. High-fiber foods -- like fruits, vegetables, beans, and grains -- should help you fill up. The food on the plan doesn't give you enough calcium and vitamin D, so you will need supplements. Also, the plan provides much less protein than what's recommended for healthy people. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor before starting this diet. Cooking and shopping: The recommended foods aren't costly and are available at any grocery store. But the recipes included in The Rice Diet Solution do take time to cook and prep. Packaged foods or meals: No. In-person meetings: No. Exercise: Recommended. Does It Allow for Dietary Restrictions or Preferences? Vegetarians and vegans: The Rice Diet could work for you, since beans and eggs are acceptable sources of lean protein. If you're vegan, you can substitute soy-based products for dairy. Gluten-free: Rice doesn't have gluten in it, so you're fine there. But gluten is in many products that you might not know it's in, so if you're going gluten-free, you'll need to read food labels. Low-salt diet: Good choice, since the plan limits sodium. Low-fat diet: This plan is low-fat, since all the dairy is low- or no-fat, and all the protein is super-lean. What Else You Should Know The Rice Diet got its start as a way to help treat heart disease and hypertension. The limits on sodium can help lower blood pressure, and it's a low-fat diet, which could help you lower high cholesterol. Costs: None apart from the food you buy. Support: This is a diet you can do on your own.

Unlike the high calorie white Basmati, a new variety of rice in the UK, made of Asian root konjac can help you feel full while barely registering on your waistline, nutritionists claim. Slim Rice, a new British product has merely 7.7 calories in a 100g serving, compared to 350 calories in the same weight of white basmati rice, the Daily Mail reported. Regular boiled rice contains 64 per cent water. Slim Rice, which comes already cooked, is made up of 97 per cent water and the Asian root konjac. Some nutritionists claim that vegetable extract konjac — also known as Moyu — can stabilise blood-sugar levels and prevent hunger pangs and over-eating. One portion can create the sensation of being full for up to four hours. However, Tam Fry from the National Obesity Forum, said “There are nasty side effects to konjac. It will make you feel fuller but doesn’t do much for you. Konjac is an appetite suppressant and people will eat it thinking they will get slim but might not be aware they could be starving themselves of nutrients.”
