Rice Diet
Rice versus Wheat Dieting
The Rice Diet
Which is better when it comes to these two juggernauts? I’ll explain both and we’ll come to a determination.
Wheat dieting is an interesting experience. When I first read the term I immediately thought of a diet solely consisting of wheat, but for most diets it’s just the opposite. Many focus on ridding wheat from the diet completely in order to lose weight or be healthy.
This is an interesting concept that I was expecting, but certainly can work with. The diet itself is best for people who have intolerance to wheat, but can be done by anyone looking to rid the stuff from their diet.
Basically, a diet free from wheat would consist of three meals per day and a snack. Many things can be eaten but what are not allowed are pretzels, wheat bread, wheat pasta, and wheat cereal. Pretty much anything that must have wheat in it.
This wheat diet plan is similar to other plans that cut out certain foods in order lose weight. Many plans will remove potatoes and other starches, and if looked at in that way, this diet seems plausible.
The rice diet on the other had is a little bit more severe. Dieters are asked to eat from a variety of about 30 foods, but mostly rice. The goal is to limit sugars, starches, fats, and processed food in order to lose weight.
The most basic plan boils down to a three phase regimen. Each phase is one week and each phase limits certain foods. The phases are supposed to help the dieter change the way they eat and view eating, so that in the third phase (the maintenance phase) they can keep off any weight they lost.
So, which diet regimen would be the better choice? That might be tough call depending on how much you like rice versus wheat.
But, overall I’d have to go with the rice diet. The reason is that the wheat diet seems to be mostly beneficial towards individuals intolerant to wheat products. While that’s a fine reason, it should take a backseat when compared to the ultimate goal of losing weight and being healthy. The fact that it doesn’t makes me skeptical.
The rice diet on the other hand seems to be a more traditional approach. Meals are selective and phases make it simple to follow. If you’re an avid eater of rice, then the few other principles you have to follow for this diet should come naturally.
In the galactic battle of rice versus wheat dieting, rice wins.
Brown Rice Diet to Remove Toxins and Balance Ph
The brown rice diet is a very inexpensive and easy diet for detoxification. Many health problems arise from the average diet in the industrialized world. It is high in refined foods, meat, fat, sugar, caffeine, chemicals, dyes, and alcohol. This results in a very acidic body pH.
It is critical to attain a pH balance near 7.0 to achieve the biochemical state necessary to heal most diseases. Heavy metal detoxification accelerates as blood chemistry is improved. The brown rice diet can reduce or eliminate many symptoms like arthritis, allergies, sinus problems, obesity, skin problems, headaches, chronic pain, digestive issues, and liver problems. Many brain disorders are made worse with bad diets. This diet is beneficial in determining with significance of your diet’s affect on your brain disorder. It is not a cure all and should be avoided by diabetics. Check with your healthcare practitioner prior to starting this diet if you have an extremely serious health problem. If your symptoms drastically improve, you may assume that either you are allergic to some food you consume on a frequent basis or there is a chemical or metal exposure which may require further medical attention.
It is very important to detoxify on an annual basis and lower your body’s chemical and heavy metal load. The best way reduce your toxin load is to include other detox therapies when you do a diet cleanse. These can include hot yoga, foot ionizing detoxification, far infrared sauna and exercise. Anything which makes you sweat will help remove chemicals and heavy metals. The brown rice diet is preferable to water fasting or the Master Cleanse for toxin removal for most people.
This diet can be well tolerated for one to two weeks. Eat brown rice cooked in pure water for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eat five small meals of brown rice in order to stabilize glucose levels stable. For those who like the flavor of the herb Cilantro, add it to the cooking water of the rice. This will accelerate heavy metal removal. Drink a minimum of 6 to 10 glasses of purified mineral or spring water, fresh vegetable juice, and herbal non-caffeine tea. It is fine to add barley or wheat grass in liquid or tablet form. This will increase heavy metal removal.
Other diets which are good for detoxification include a raw fruit and vegetable diet. Do not use the Master Cleanse for a prolonged period if your goal is heavy metal detoxification. The toxin overload can occur due to heavy metals being excreted from your body. This can make you feel sick. Read more
