What Happened to the Rice Diet? | NutritionFacts.org

The rice diet was originally designed as a treatment for kidney failure and out-of-control high blood pressure. Does it work?

I’m actually contemplating a no fat high carb diet. I have no weight to loose, pretty insulin sensitive on my current diet. (In comparison with other T1 accounts online.) I have an HbA1c within NHS guidelines. However. I’m looking for non-diabetic levels in light of a recent health threat. I’m up for trying anything.

But if you don't use the carbs then won't your blood sugar rise risking ketoacidosis?

The theory from what I can gather from the non fat high carb diet adopted is increasing insulin sensitivity further, thus using less exogenous insulin? (Than I already do.) I’ve read other T1 accounts of using less insulin with this aproach.

Ok...but why not maintain the status quo if it keeps you well?
I'm not critical I'm just trying to get my head around for personal reasons...I wish you the very best in whatever choices you make.

Thanks for your kind concern. I do reasonably well with no outstanding markers to warrant further diabetes related intervention like statins with regards to my way of eating. My insulin requirements are low, too. 1u to 17 or 20g (in comparison with the standard.) same with my basal. However. There have been prolific & respected T1 contributors promoting this dietary choice. “1u to 46g” as featured in Beating my betes video, with a non diabetic HbA1c is also attractive to me.

Isn't it carbohydrates as in the US sense - including fibre? High carb foods with are known to be good for insulin sensitivity.

Rice consumption, for instance, is linked to T2D/insulin resistance, when it's processed and the fibre is removed:

Previous prospective studies on the association of white rice intake with incident diabetes have shown contradictory results but were conducted in single countries and predominantly in Asia. We report on the association of white rice with risk of ...

Ouch, I think you’re right. It’s (US count.) also inclusive of, “of which are sugars,” too? Which I need to plan bolus for if eating carbs. The higher “of which,” the faster the hit.

Some proper greige food yesterday. Have started incorporating salad today, to compensate. Also, to carify: Steps remain the same as this is the amount of steps I take just pottering around the house (No, I don't carry my phone to the toilet. Adequate roughage means I poo quicker than I pee).

Still plodding along.

I will keep logging as I have been, but will probably not post every day. Once I have a few days, I'll upload them as a batch.

Have you seen any positive results as yet, I know it's early days?

Generally feeling so much better. Sleeping better. BP has come down quite a bit from the shocking numbers on day one. However, the numbers are still really high. FBG has come down, but due to inconsistent waking times it's hard to tell by how much. I suspect I've lost a little more weight, but I need new batteries for scale to be sure.

No negatives, thus far 🙂

I guess it all really depends on how much of an improvement this diet is on your previous food intake.

I’m personally guessing it’s quite a transition with the wait on the positive health markers with such a diet change?

Tomorrow is IT!

I have a run of a few CGM, and very bad pain and numbness in feet. Tomorrow will be my last 'Day Zero!' If i fail to keep on track, i will delete this thread and leave the forum (You lucky, lucky people!).

As of the coming month, and for perhaps quite a while, my internet use will be very restricted. This means there will be stretches where I won't be posting daily. I will still be tracking and saving them to dump them here, once or twice over week.

¡Ya está!
