The Rice Diet Plan
Last week, Wednesday, I started on a new way of eating. It's called "The Rice Diet Solution", but it isn't really a diet so much as it is a much healthier way of eating for the rest of my life I hope! I guess it is actually sort of an Eastern diet, but it really follows the "Word of Wisdom."
So we are modifying it a bit for her. She needs to have more calories than it suggests for overweight adults, and just adopt the new healthier way of eating. However at my age 48, I have plenty of calories just around my hips alone thank you very much!! So I am sticking to it strictly.
I will post a weight loss tracker at the bottom of my blog so you can watch me lose as I eat healthier, less, and do more exercise. With this diet you eat very little salt, or sugar (1 tsp honey or maple syrup a day) you do many whole grains, oatmeal, brown rice, legumes, nuts, nut butters without added sodium, starches, lots of fruits and veggies (I am talking 2-3 servings for each meal!) meat is only once a week after the first week and even then, it's fish or poultry. The first week is a cleansing week. And you drink water, or herb teas, a little juice now and then. You can make slushies of the fruits and veggies.
It's a new way of thinking 'food', really and moving more, and eating considerably less that I was before, at least less in the way of how I was heaping my plate full of meaningless calories! I have come to really appreciate every bite of food I take, in this world where so few ever have anough to fill their bellies. I used to think I was mindful of that, but now I know I am. I eat carefully, every bite is a treasure to me... that sounds odd I am sure, but I have become very grateful to my Heavenly Father for always providing me with enough to eat.

Here is how I am keeping track of weight loss and health gained! Isn't it cute!? The little pink fish is the one to watch as I lose lbs. I will likely update once a week perhaps. You are supposed to lose a lot of water and junk at first, and then it slows to a couple lbs a week. I can handle that.
