Real proteins are basically two types: concentrated (meats, eggs, milk, cheese) and light (nuts, beans).

What's the professor's name? Dr. Bozo?

You can of course try the diet, but your body will ultimately not run well on it. You'd be starving it of much of what it needs.
anything that skews in one direction or the other isn't good as far as I'm concerned. my body is at its best when there's a balance.

Default The Rice Diet ~ Walter Kempner

Walter Kempner was born in 1903, founded the Rice Diet in 1939, and passed in 1997 at age 94. His Rice Diet became the cure for many different conditions and diseases, was continued at Duke University by Robert and Kitty Roseti for more than 72 years, and was then discontinued.

The Rice Diet consisted of whole grains and fruit, and did NOT use processed food or sugar, contrary to some spurious reports published by others, perhaps to promote their own programs. This is backed up by the book "The Rice Diet Report" 1986 by Judy Moscovitz who was one of his patients, and an interview with Robert Roseti, an assistant who took over his program.

So I assume his Rice diet consisted of Brown Rice? White rice is very processed and is not whole grain.

That's what I was thinking... in addition to I would imagine there are other grains which are better.

White rice. Brown rice is way too hard to digest.

This is what I thought the OP was referring to. Rosati's the Rice Diet Solution explains the diet. Also, Kempner influenced Pritkin and Ornish.

When you're on phase one, you're only eating about 800 calories a day. Eventually you go up to 1000 calories until you reach goal. You're mostly eating fruits, veggies, and grains. Eventually you do add fish and lean meats.

If you are only eating 1000 calories you will lose weight no matter what you eat whether it be rice or apples.

True, and that is bad.
Its not what you eat, its how much you eat. There is no magical food to lose weight, there is only caloric deficit, and choosing which food is only a tool to get there.

Curious as to what that means, exactly. How do you determine something is "too hard to digest"?

Yeah, I guess that's why we "cook" certain things, so that we can more easily digest them. Brown rice does take longer than white rice to cook. I've never heard of it being harder to digest.
