I bought this book new over 15 years ago.The title
intrigued me.I am normally quite fit,work out 3-4 days a
week and eat right.However, back then, I returned
to college part-time,had a stressful job and a
difficult personal relationship.I gained 30 lbs in less than seven years.
This diet was easy to follow,had realistic results,and
gave me back my energy.I didn't lose all 30 lbs just from
the diet,but it helped to kick start me back into my earlier,healthy lifestyle.
Oh,and I got the degree,found a more rewarding
and less stressul job,and left the difficult man.<smile>.
My paperback is quite yellowed,but cherished.I return to it regularly.
I'm currently back on the diet to lose 10 lbs
I gained this summer from traveling and getting
off my normal fitness/meal routine.
I know I'll get back on track!
2 The Kempner Miracle
I had a patient with chronic hypertension. I thought he might benefit from the rice diet but I had no information on it. Then at a used book sale, I ran into this book for a quarter. I bought, brought it home and read it. Judy's story and writing was so engaging, I decided to try it. I was overweight and that made it all the more an attractive idea. Within a few days, I was blown away by the diet. The first time I cheated
on the diet, I was repaid with an extremely severe reaction.
I learned more from this book and the advice in it than I ever learned in school. I am not knocking school. If I hadn't gone to school, I might not have heard of the diet. The diet is a discipline unto itself. What Judy provides is the motivational spirit to stick with the program. Her energy pours off every page. I went from weighing 230 down to 165 on the diet. Since that time, I have gained some back as expected. What I know now is that I can keep my weight under control and still eat what I want once in awhile without any concern. I feel I owe a debt to both Walter Kempner and Judy Moscowitz for guiding me toward a truly healthy relationship to food.
3 The Rice Diet Report Called Me to Durham and Started My Jour
The Rice Diet Report came just in time. I was sitting on a lounge chair when it collapsed under my immense weight. Two weeks later I was in Durham on the Rice Diet. I had bought Judy's book months before, but it took that ephipany of falling through that chair to get me to Durham. In Durham, I lose a hundred pounds and found a culture. I also found a career documenting diet culture. Thanks Judy, always thanks.

4 Truly Works!!
I tried the Rice diet after trying everything else. I tried breathing exercises, aerobics, tae-bo, soup diets, every fad diet listed on the web, the hollywood diet, grapefruit diet, mayo clinic, great american and the list goes on. I never received the results promised. I discovered this book and thought I'd give it a try as well. I bought a 2.50 box of rice, and about $10 worth of canned and fresh fruit for the week. I started at 168 lbs on Wed and was down to 163 by Sat. After that I have just been eating "normal" foods (according to the book) and have maintained for two weeks. With other diets, I gained the weight back within a couple of days of returning to regular foods. I plan to start again today to remove 10-15 more pds. I was tired of the bland rice after four days but I did not have to stop, I could have moved to phase II and continued. However, I wanted to see if I could maintain once lost and YES I CAN!!!!! I know that I can lose this weight on the rice diet and if it starts to come back I now know how to get it off for good. With God's help, I'm determined to go all the way.
5 A GREAT TOOL FOR PEOPLE SERIOUS ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT
I PURCHASED THIS BOOK THREE YEARS AGO, AND ALTHOUGH I WASN'T SERIOUSLY OVERWEIGHT I DO HAVE A TERRIBLE TIME EATING RIGHT AT TIMES AND THIS BOOKS GETS MY APPETITE IN CHECK. BY EATING ONLY AT SPECIFIC TIMES OF DAY AND NOT SNACKING IN BETWEEN I CAN GET A HANDLE ON THINGS BEFORE ANY SERIOUS WEIGHT GAIN. THE WAY THE BOOK IS WRITTEN REALLY DRAWS YOU IN AND MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE IT IS THE DIARY OF A FRIEND WHO WANTS TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT. GREAT BOOK.
6 Informative, Easy to read, Effective
I bought this book right after my son was born in 1986 (I went from 130 to 200 lbs). Not only does the diet work fast, but cravings disappear within days. The only side effect that I had from the diet was from the elimation of salt from my diet... I would get the "spins" when I would stand up... This is perfectly natural and stops within a couple of weeks. I highly recommend this book if you are serious about changing your eating habits and becoming healthier and more energetic.
7 Excellent -- helps keeps you motivated.
BLWolery@aol.com from Amagansett, NY , July 19, 1998 The bestdiet book I've ever read Really well-written and thought-provoking--agood snippet of information on every page.
8 I have been using this book and plan for 12 years.
I first bought this book in 1986 when it was first published. I related to so much of what Judy Moscovitz had to say and what she felt that I couldn't put the book down. I highlighted areas that I found to be inspiring for me and to this day I refer back to the book when I find myself getting out of control and need help and inspiration to get back on track. The plan is very disciplined and difficult in the very beginning but the results are so rewarding that you can't help but continue. I have used the plan three times: the first time to lose 37 pounds, and twice after the births of my daughters. I am on it again as I write this review. I read and re-read sections of this book daily. I would love to know how Judy Moscovitz is doing now.
