This is my post update for the Effective No Rice Diet. It has been more than a month since I posted and started my ” No Rice Diet Challenge“. From that post, I’ve mentioned how eager I am to lose weight. The main purpose is to be healthy and to be living at my best for my family, myself, and be worthy productive. You know when you are a mom, your family get strength from you. So, how’s my diet?
My initial No rice diet Menu Plan consists of hard-boiled egg, boiled sweet potato and banana, raisin wheat bread, leafy vegetables, and small serving of lean meat. I religiously followed my no rice diet for three weeks, then decided to eat small portions of rice once a day.
I eat rice for about 1/4 – 1/2 cup daily for my not so routine Rice Diet Plan for Weight Loss. Usually eating small portions of rice in the morning or lunch. At first, I find it hard to be consistent with my diet plan. But, thankfully I can now resist to the temptation of eating junk foods and fatty foods. There are cheat moments. Some say cheat day when you eat foods that are not in your diet. My cheat moment is when we eat at a new restaurant. I can’t say no to trying the new foods. I remember from a program segment in the Asian Food Channel, the chef revealed to what’s the secret in a delicious food, he said “Fat is the flavor!”.
How much weight in kilograms did I lose in a month? I started last February 3, 2017 and as of March 15, 2017, I have already lost 3 kilos.
February 3, 2017 – my weight is 71 kilos
March 15, 2017 – my weight is 68 Kilos
I actually reached 66.5 kilos last few days ago, but because of my cheat moments during the weekend, I gain a kilo.
No rice diet is so far the most Effective Weight Loss diet I did. Of course, it should be followed by exercise and healthy food choices.

Hi Bee,
So far with my no rice diet that I religiously followed for a month, I lose 3 kilos. But, then when I am started doing Zumba exercises, I really have to eat a small serving of rice. So from that point, I maintained my weight. But, still I will be setting a routine for my no-rice diet 3 times a week maybe.

Hello, Ms. Jem!
I want to try NRD, however, I don’t know which foods should I take. I’m a serial rice eater. Can you recommend other foods or recipes? 🙂

Hi Hazel,
From my experience, as a substitute to my rice, I prepare hard-boiled egg, saging na saba or sweet potato with a combination of a 1/2 cup of green leafy vegetable. It could be steam Kangkong or sauteed garlic Kangkong or any leafy vegetable from a soup based meal.
