Library Journal

In Rosati's third volume in her "Rice Diet" series (The Rice Diet Solution; The Rice Diet Cookbook), she provides a refresher course in the basic principles of the prestigious Rice Diet Program for Weight Loss in Durham, NC. The rice program, in operation for 70 years, has helped thousands. The plan was one of the first to recognize that physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health are interconnected. It requires a cleansing program to eliminate refined foods and salt from the diet and to reassess priorities in redefining daily habits. The food guidelines emphasize grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables; menus and recipes are included. A daily journal helps readers recognize feelings and the self-destructive impulses that cause overeating. VERDICT There is nothing here that hasn't been said before, but the reputation of the Rice Program makes this a more authoritative volume. Highly recommended for anyone looking to lose weight, especially the obese.—Susan B. Hagloch, formerly with Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, OH
