I was thinking about taking it up. I am 18 years old. 5'10 and 250 lbs and am on a competition with about 8 family members to see who can lose the most body % over the next year (the ones competeing (aunts, uncles, cousins, ect) are all over weight) so i was thinking about taking up the Rice diet. The reason for this is that i know rice is mostly water after being cooked and i do keep a regular workout of 1 hr of cardio + 30 - 60 minutes of weight lifting (5 times a week) thus i would sweat alot of the water off. I was thinking that with the diet i can also throw in some cooked shrooms and over vegies (along with a hint of soy sauce) to spice it up a little lol. As it sits now, ive been constantly working out this year, but haven't lost much at all, so i need the diet to support it. Any tips?
