Do the Rice Diet
The Forgotten Diet That
Lowered Our Blood Sugar and
Helped Us Lose Weight
When Nothing Else Worked
In June 2016, my left eye suddenly went blind as a result of years of uncontrolled blood sugar.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t doing things to control my body’s blood sugar—I was doing exactly what my doctors were telling me to do, in particular to eat a very-low-carb diet and then a paleo diet—but my blood sugar kept going up and up until I was forced to go on insulin.
When I announced in my newsletter that I needed to have eye surgery because I the retina in my left eye was detached, one of my readers—a retired ophthalmologist—wrote to me immediately and said, “You must go on this diet to save your life.”
He sent me a medical journal article about it, with results but no instructions. It took me three months to do the research necessary to put this together, but finally, in October I was able to try this diet for a full month and the result was my blood sugar dropped 133points in 33 days!
I also lost 20 pounds. Larry did the diet too and had similar results. We LOVE the food! It’s easy to prepare, and affordable. You can flavor the basic recipes to taste like any international cuisine you prefer. Larry even created a dish that is so good we now call it “Larry’s Italian Comfort Food.”! And it really is comforting.
Life intervened after that first month and we weren’t able to stay on the diet every day like this and of course, our blood sugar went up and we gained weight…again. But we didn’t gain it all back and now had the tools to use the method for a few days or a week at a time to at least keep things under some control.
But over the last three-and-a-half years, we kept going back to this diet over and over and every time we did, immediately our blood sugar would go down and we would lose weight.
And now I’ve written everything I know about it in my Rice Diet Revival ebook.
I’m calling it the Rice Diet Revival because it actually is a revival of an old diet created by a doctor at Duke University in the 1940s. It was so successful, people came from all over to do the diet—even Hollywood celebrities! But it fell out of favor when drugs were invented to treat all the health problems that disappeared when people went on this diet. Then in the 1970’s a different doctor and his nurse wife wrote a book about their version of the Rice Diet, which became a New York Times bestseller. But again, it couldn’t compete with the industrial-model diet plans like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig.
I am reviving the Rice Diet today because it worked for me after a lifetime of diets failed. I am providing the exact diet structure as it has always been, with updated instructions and tools to make planning and preparation of meals easy—and it’s all wholefoods. And delicious recipes.
I am not a doctor and I make no medical claims. I am simply giving you information for your own use, based on my research and experience.
<<<<<<<< On 1 June 2020, Larry and I started doing my Rice Diet Revival diet and we’re reporting on our experience right here on this page—what we are eating, our blood sugar and weight statistics—everything. It’s right there to the left.

If losing weight has been a struggle for you, PureBody Liquid Zeolite can help.
Will this diet work with Histamine, Oxalate and Salicylate intolerances?
Thank you!
I don’t have a complete list of those intolerances, but I’m pretty sure it will.
Each meal pattern gives you many choices of foods, so you should be able to do it with the foods you are able to eat.
I can help you tailor the diet to your needs.
Rice Diet Revival is excellent! So much information! I have read and reread the book many times now and gosh, you have so much information there! Very comprehensive, clear, and easy to follow. That and your enthusiasm pours off the pages!
I had to laugh about eating the whole box of Christmas cookies~~same thing here. Portions? No. This is perfect for me because, like you, I do best on carbs, fruits, veggies so I already have what I need to do this diet in my pantry. So happy I can add other whole grains and beans!
Thank you for this book, Debra. I am familiar with the high carb diets of the past but had the same concerns as you about the use of processed carbs. Thank you for making it a whole food lifestyle way of eating. Thank you mostly for all of your research! And, a big thank you to Larry! His willing participation has encouraged my hubby to give it a try, too!
peace and love ~ Dana
The first time I did the Rice Diet was in October 2016, when Debra was first learning it and we were living 3000 miles apart. I was living with my parents and preparing my RIce Diet meals myself in my Mom’s kitchen, while everyone in my family was encouraging me to eat with them. Debra was coaching me through the Rice Diet over the phone. Despite all this, II had truly excellent results.
My body weight went from 255 lbs to 230 lbs in 30 days. That’s 25 pounds lost in 30 days!
My fasting blood sugar also went from 250 down to 150. That’s 100 points less. Normal is 125 at most, so I was almost there after only 30 days on this diet.
Previously, I had pretty high blood sugar (over 250) for about a decade.
I had seen some terrible results in close family members who had not controlled their high blood sugar over the long term. An amputated foot, blindness in an eye and a heart attack and death associated with diabetic complications from unhandled high blood sugar. So you can see I felt that it was important to get my blood sugar closer to normal.
I was ecstatic that this diet had lowered my blood sugar so quickly and easily. I now felt like I had a tool that I could use to lower my blood sugar and my body weight, as needed, at will. This was a huge change from feeling that my weight and blood sugar was out of control.
I saw that it was not necessary to be perfect on this diet to get excellent results. If I noticed that I had eaten something not on the diet, it was no big deal, I just had to get back on the diet by having a fruit and rice day or two; then my blood sugar and weight came right back down rapidly.
At first, I simply could not understand how this diet could possibly work. Here I was eating rice and fruit very often. These are things I had been told (by medical doctors and diabetic nutritionists) to avoid if I ever wanted to lower my blood sugar. Yet eating these very carbs had lowered greatly both my blood sugar and my weight. It seemed to go directly against the prevailing medical advice on how to handle high blood sugar.
Yet, there was no arguing against the results, that the rice diet revival had greatly lowered both my blood sugar and my body weight.
It works to produce the results wanted.
Arguing against the observable facts is useless. I try not to do that.
I would rather use what works. The Rice Diet Revival works for me.
