A professor came up with a diet that's 90% carb, 5% fat, 5% protein of eating white rice/grain, fruit and sauce (jam, duck sauce, etc). I think women may like it more than men being it has plenty of sweetness. But I thought it's interesting that people lose weight on this and seem to enjoy the food, it's not a dreadful thing of counting calories and feeling unsatisfied. I never realized white rice is 5% protein, but considering how people eat it daily some with little else that makes sense. I think I'm going to eat more rice in the future. I have a 20 pound bag I bought just before I decided to diet. It's more healthy than many breads and can be ate with many things such as yellow curry, stir fry tofu, beans, chili, fish, fruit, sauce.

You've got to realize that muscle weighs much more than fat. It seems to me like you'd lose a lot of healthy muscle on 90% carb, 5% fat and 5% protein.
Weight is not everything. I'd be willing to bet that a good amount of that weight loss is coming from muscle loss/lower bone density.
Eating more rice is a great idea but I think 90% carb, 5% fat and 5% protein is taking it a little too far, but if you believe in it, give it a try.
OP, you seem to be willing buy whatever diet snake oil some "doctor" with a video on YouTube is willing to sell.
I'd also have to add, that just because someone is a professor or a doctor, it doesn't mean that they know what they're talking about or have your best interests in mind. There's a lot of bad information and leftist dogma floating around academia these days. (Grains good, meat bad being one of them)

If 5% of protein comes from rice and some from fat that could add up to 10% protein in actuality. I don't think this diet is meant to be permanent but to lose weight. I think it's a good option for someone whose truly overweight because fat people already have lots of protein stored in their body. People need to lose their fat before building more muscle unless they want to be a fat muscular person. My point is basically people shouldn't shy away from rice or remove carb in general, carb is energy needed to exercise more.

Ehh, not really, you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time. Fat people don't have a bunch of stored protein, fat people are...fat..not muscular. People shouldn't shy away from carbs, but telling them they should eat low fat and low protein is some of the worst advice you can give, in my opinion. The focus should be on nutrition not carbs, fats & protein.
Carbs are helpful for exercise, but they are not essential. High quality nutrition is essential..macro nutrient breakdown isn't as important
I've lost a lot of weight in a short period, probably more than most people are willing to do, period.
Losing a lot of weight in a short periods of time shouldn't be your goal for overall health or wellness. I lost a lot of weight quickly when I had norovirus, but I wouldn't recommended as a lifestyle.
