I was an athletic man for most of my life. By age 58 though, I was a mess. I weighed 290 pounds, had suffered a heart attack and had two stents in my coronary arteries. I had Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol, I suffered from peripheral edema (leg swelling), and I needed a CPAP machine for sleep apnea. Then I started on the Rice Diet.
Nine months later, I had lost 85 pounds, down from 290 to 205. That’s seven pounds less than I weighed at age 20 in the Marine Corps! My waist went from 51 inches down to 34, I’m off my diabetes and blood pressure medications, and I no longer need a CPAP machine to sleep. I enjoy daily exercise, and I play basketball with guys half my age. I’m happier than I have been for years and years–this is the way to live.
I’ve found the Rice Diet easy to follow and easy to do.
By the age of 49, I’d already had a heart attack. I was on a lot of different medications, and I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, GERD, heartburn, sleep apnea, early Type 2 diabetes and swelling of the feet. I was 100 pounds overweight, and I could barely walk up a flight of stairs to my condo without running out of breath.
I started the Rice Diet and lost 12 pounds in the first week. I lost 31 pounds in the first month! My blood sugar went down from 146 to 102, I was able to walk two miles a day, and I no longer had GERD. Soon I was sleeping better and I was able to stop taking several of my medications. After nine months on the Rice Diet, I had gone from 275 pounds down to 173 pounds. My waist went from 48 inches down to 32 inches.
Best of all, I feel ALIVE, with lots of energy and enthusiasm.
I am a 53-year-old nurse who has battled weight for most of my life, since age 14. I am five-feet-five inches tall, and when I reached 214 pounds I knew I had to do something. At the time, I had high cholesterol, arthritis and hypertension; I had also had one knee replaced due to arthritis and was told I would need my other knee replaced as well.
However, now that I have lost over 65 pounds on the Rice Diet, I don’t think I’ll need that second knee replacement! I have more energy than I did 10 years ago, and have stopped the cholesterol medication. My blood pressure is normal without medication and my arthritis is markedly improved. I am doing more exercise then I have ever been able to do.
The Rice Diet is easy to follow and I enjoy the fact that it is a whole food diet that I can follow anywhere in the world. I look better and feel better, and my husband concurs!

I was 61 years old and depressed about being overweight. Most of my weight gain happened after age 40. I developed GERD, heartburn, arthritis and worsening irritable bowel syndrome.
After nine months on the Rice Diet with my husband, I lost almost 50 pounds and seven inches from my waist. My spirits were improved, and my medical problems all improved and resolved for the most part. I was able to get off my heartburn medication completely.
If I keep this up, I will be the healthiest I have been in years, and look and feel better than I have in a long time. My husband is so impressed with the new me! I feel so much younger. The struggle and persistence of sticking with the Rice Diet is absolutely worth it.
I am 63 years old, and I’m five-feet-seven inches tall. I weighed 217 pounds and had hypertension, severe GERD, high cholesterol, arthritis of the hips and fluid in my legs. On the Rice Diet I was able to lose 65 pounds, and now I am at my ideal body weight.
For the first time in 20 years I can wash my feet in the shower and can go up many flights of stairs without being out of breath. I was able to get to normal blood pressure and get off two cholesterol medications, and still have normal blood work.
I have now kept the weight off for more than nine months, and as long as I stick to the maintenance plan, I should be able to stay well for the rest of my life.
This program changed my life!
I was 59 years old and realized that I was significantly overweight. I was 273 pounds and suffered from chronic gastroesophageal reflux since age 25. I had high blood pressure and arthritis and found out that I had a fatty liver and elevated liver enzymes once I was put through some tests at the Rice Diet program. My blood sugar was in the 139 range but within 5 weeks on the diet I was able to get down to the normal range of 95. My diabetes was miraculously cured. Over the next 2 months, fatty changes in my liver resolved and my liver enzymes went back to normal. I was able to drop my waist from 48-1/2 inches to 39. I was able to discontinue Nexium for my chronic heartburn, and 2 blood pressure medications. Now after getting down from 273 to 218 pounds, I’m at my ideal body weight and feel terrific. I do not have high blood pressure, stopped snoring and feel great overall. I have learned to exercise on a regular basis and my eating habits are well ingrained. I am sure I will be able to continue this for the rest of my life.
