DAY SEVEN (brown rice)

by Julie

My copy of the cabbage soup diet says that you can eat all you want of brown rice. My co-worker has a copy of the diet and it says you can have one cup of brown rice for the day.

Which is correct?

Thanks!

Dear Julie,

Regarding brown rice there are different opinions.
Most plans that allow unlimited rice have in mind that you can't stuff yourself too much with brown rice. Together with the fiber in rice and the vegetables you will feel full very early. But there are of course exceptions.
That's why our recommendation would be to eat not more than 4 cups of cooked brown rice on day 7 - Herefore you will need approximately 2 cups of uncooked brown rice. Please don't forget eating the cabbage soup too!

All the best,
Gabriela
