Brown Rice Quantity

by Carla

On the 7th day, it doesn't state how much brown rice you're allowed to eat. Does this mean an unlimited amount?


Thank you,
Carla

Hi Carla,
this is a really good question! ...And you see me speachless. The most cabbage soup diet plans I know, don't specify any rice quantities.


On the other hand, brown rice is very stuffing and
it's difficult to overeat - especially in combination with sufficient cabbage soup.

My personal estimation would be, to use not more than 100 g uncooked rice - this is equivalent to 200 g cooked rice. For the recipe on the rice diet page you need e.g. 80 g rice.

I'm sure that there are dieters who ate more than 200 g cooked rice and still had a great weight loss effect...It depends on the individual too.

All the best,
Gabriela

Can i replace brown rice by Black Rice for day 7??

by Suheir
(China)

hello there,

tomorrow is going to be my seventh day, and so far i have lost around 2 and half KG, which is so good,

i have not cheated even once,

but tomorrow i am supposed to eat brown rice and vegetable,

unfortuntly i could find any brown rice in my surrounding, but i found Black rice and i am not sure if they are the same, or i should skip all rice and eat only vegetable with fruit.

pls reply as soon as possible,

thank you

suheir

Dear Suheir,
congratulation to your lost 2,5 kg so far.
Yes, you can have also black rice instead of brown rice. It has a high nutritional value and includes iron. By the way, black rice has a similar amount of fiber to brown rice. It has also a mild and nutty taste. So enjoy your last cabbage soup diet day!

All the best,

Day 7 of the cabbage soup diet, rice or not?

by Hala
(Egypt)

I am a bit confused about day 7, another site says that you should eat fruits, veggies and juices and the rice being optional and that you should skip it if you want more weight loss.
So what's right?

Hi Hala,
there exist different cabbage soup diet plans on the web. We recommend (brown) rice for day seven (the rice diet day) along with vegetables and cabbage soup. Brown rice will stabilize your insuline level and reduce the risk for bing eating after the 7 day cabbage soup diet.

All the best,

uncle bens long grain rice

can i subistitute brown rice for a regular uncle bens long grain rice?

Hi,
although brown rice is the better choice, using uncle bens long grain rice won't harm your weight loss success.

No brown rice

by Alexis

Hi, can i use white rice instead of brown rice? Is there any effect?

Hi Alexis,
brown rice is of course healthier (more nutrients and fibers) and has a better influence on your insuline lever. White rice might sometimes cause hunger attacks - but if you don't have brown rice then try it with white one.

All the best,

Hi Pam,

Risotto vs brown rice?

by Laura
(Florida)

I am surprised that you say you can substitute risotto for brown rice. They are different aren't they?

Hi Laura,
yes they are different, and of course brown rice is healthier...
But from our experience - concerning weight loss success - it really doesn't make any difference
if you eat brown rice or risotto rice on the rice diet day - as long as you stick to the other planned food for this day.

All the best,
Gabriela
