Rice Diet: Week 1, day 5-7
I tried a bunch of snacks at work yesterday so I went from 155.5 to 155.8, but I’m assuming most of that was from the sodium increase, because in terms of calories I didn’t really eat that much.
But my husband had us go out to Texas Roadhouse today, because he loves eating out, and I got the bowl of chili at 460 calories, because it’s the closest to my calorie goal without being just a salad (which he would have been upset about. But honestly he thought the chili was too small too so…)
But he said that since I started the diet, my face looks prettier. My skin looks better, he said. So even though he’s critical of how I’m going about it, he still likes the results lol
On day 6, I gained a little and went up to 156, and today on day 7 I weighed in at 155.
🍚total loss in first week: 5.3lbs! (160.3 to 155)
🍚next week: I’m adding in 1c of broccoli and 1c of cauliflower to lunch, and adding 1c of carrots to dinner!
The rice diet can be an effective way to lose weight and boost overall health by focusing on whole foods. It's crucial to ensure balanced nutrition while following this diet. Incorporating vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, as mentioned in the first week's plan, can enhance nutrient intake including vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity can complement dietary efforts, further promoting weight loss and improving wellbeing. Consider tracking your meals and weight to stay motivated throughout your journey. Many find success by joining online communities where experiences and tips can be shared, fostering support and accountability. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time; consistency is key. Enjoy the process as you make healthier choices and embrace the transformations!
