The Rice Diet vs. Cabbage Soup Plan
(The Rice Diet vs. Mayo Clinic)



Our Review:


First of all, the Rice Diet is actually not a diet based on rice. 

The Rice Diet was created by Duke University and it's designed to help people with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and obesity. 

But it's not a typical diet which people can follow from the comfort of their own homes -- because it's a medically supervised program which is administered by doctors and nutrition experts from a placed called the Rice House in Durham, North Carolina.  In other words, you must travel to the Rice Diet Center to participate in this weight loss program.

Overweight people from around the world do visit the Rice Diet Center to participate in health classes and workshops, and to be supervised by nutrition experts while following the program.   Dieters stay there for an average of 4-8 weeks.

This program consists of 2 phases. 

The first phase consists of grains and fruits, and should only be done under medical supervision.

The second phase adds fish, vegetables, beans and other carbs to the menu.

This program is probably best suited to seriously overweight people who have been struggling with obesity for most of their lives, or other people who need to lose a lot of weight.  It's certainly not for everybody, and many people may find this program way too expensive.


The Cabbage Soup Diet is much different though, and it's not nearly as healthy in our opinion.   This diet is also known as the Mayo Clinic Program, for those who don't know.

So what is the Cabbage Soup (Mayo Clinic) Diet?

It's basically a 7 day plan which allows unlimited cabbage soup each day.

The reason for this is because there is almost no calories in the soup (very few calories in the soup).  Other foods can be eaten too, but the only food which can be eaten every single day in "unlimited quantities" is cabbage soup.

The menu is a bit bizarre though, because on some days it allows unlimited fruit along with unlimited cabbage soup -- while on other days it allows unlimited vegetables along with cabbage soup.

Yet on other days it allows unlimited rice to be eaten, while on other days lots of bananas are encouraged to be eaten. 

Clearly this is an unusual weight loss program, it's basically a quick 7 day diet for people who are willing to lose weight via eating severely lower calories.

We do not recommend using the Cabbage Soup / Mayo Clinic program, and it's our opinion that this type of program is not very healthy.

We think that the Rice Diet seems like a better choice -- but the Rice Diet is not for average people since it's a medically supervised program which is probably best suited to seriously overweight people (or other dieters who have been struggling with obesity for a long time).

So overall it seems that both programs are not a very good choice for most dieters, since there are better choices out there in our opinion.   We therefore do not recommend either of these diets for average dieters.

Careful food choices combined with some exercise is the best natural way to fight back. A diabetes obese naturist treatment plan would include low-sugar and low-carb foods and a moderate exercise regimen. The way of eating that works best as a diabetes obese naturist treatment is a very simple way of eating. Some say that it's more expensive, but if you compare your grocery bills before and after there shouldn't be much of a difference. Of course, this is only true if you're not still buying lots of other processed foods for your family members. The first thing to do in your new eating plan is to cut out most processed foods. Processed foods are any foods that have been processed far from their natural state. A cake, pie or any type of baked good you buy already made is highly processed, for instance. Those types of foods are the worst kind for diabetes because not only are they processed and full of sugar, their ingredients are also processed. Flour is a processed food, made from wheat. You may not be able to eliminate all of it, but eliminating the obvious sources of flour can make a huge difference. Baked goods like cakes, cookies, pies and breads are hard to give up. And you may not have to give up all of them for a diabetes obese naturist treatment. You can still enjoy certain baked goods occasionally that are made with whole grains and nut or soy flours instead of wheat flours. Sugar substitutes can make them palatable. If you can give them up altogether, your recovery rate will be even faster. Other processed foods like canned foods, boxed foods, frozen foods and pre-made meals should be severely restricted or eliminated for the best results. Even in "healthy" pre-packaged foods you'll find flour, hidden sugars and other ingredients that are believed to contribute to weight gain, diabetes and other conditions. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and high-fructose corn syrup are the biggest offenders. MSG is in almost every pre-packaged food, and the corn syrup is used in place of sugar because it's cheaper. Focus on vegetables that you cook yourself. Steam them or cook them in healthy olive oil, and add a small amount of fresh grated parmesan cheese. Add lots of seasonings and soon you won't miss the butter, sour cream and other fattening additions. Another part of a diabetes obese naturist treatment is to drink plenty of water. You shouldn't force yourself to drink 80 oz a day if you're not thirsty, but getting in 64 oz per day isn't that hard if you choose water instead of soda or other caloric drinks. Finally, start exercising, even if it's just a short walk in place three or four times a week. You can build up to the recommended amounts. The important thing in your diabetes obese naturist treatment is to start where you are and keep going.
