Three Rules to Jumpstart Your Metabolism

Jumpstart your metabolism and lose  5-10 lbs in 2-3 weeks by following these three rules for the first 14 days of your weighloss program.


1. Don't eat anything that is white. Think about most foods that are white and chances are you shouldn't be eating it. Specifically, I'm talking about white bread, pasta, sugar, white rice, and most milk products. Healthy foods like cauliflower, chicken, turkey, fish are all exceptions to this rule.

2. Only drink water, NOTHING else! If you usually drink coffee one small cup of organic black coffee is okay to keep any possible withdrawal headaches at bay, one small cup of organic black coffee is ok; no milk or sugar (they are white).

3. Don't eat anything with the word wheat in the ingredients list. What if it's whole wheat? Look, if the word starts with W and ends in T and has the letters h-e-a in between, you can't eat it.


I highly recommend you follow those same rules for the next 14 days (Not for the rest of your life, just the next 14 days.) You will amazed at the results. Remember, no white foods (except for the few I mentioned above), only water to drink and no wheat products.

Don't let one more day go by without feeling and looking as great as I know you can! Don't wait until you have eaten all the food in your fridge or "used up" all the food in your pantry. It's not worth the wait! Commit to a new healthy life with an a ew incredible body right now and I promise the results will be worth it.

Good Grains

If you take a look at the informational video on The Diet Solution Program, you find out that not all carbs are the same, some are definitely beneficial in a weight loss program.

The bad news is that wheat is a definite No-No, the good news for all of us is that there are plenty of other healthy carbohydrate and grain options to fit into your Diet Solution fat burning meal plans perfectly.

White Rice vs. Brown Rice

Brown Rice is at the top of the “good” list.

While white rice is okay you get nowhere near the same nutritional value as you get from brown rice.

They have similar amounts of calories, carbohydrates, and protein. With brown rice only the outermost layer of a grain of rice (the husk) is removed. White rice also has the next layers underneath the husk (the bran layer and the germ) removed. Several vitamins and dietary minerals are lost when this very important layer is removed (especially Vit B1, Vit B3, iron and most of the magnesium).

Fibre is also lost in white rice and this is important to the weight loss process…


  • Fibre helps control blood sugar fluctuations, the secret to weight loss is keeping your blood sugar and your insulin under control
  • Fiber helps you feel full for longer – it’s easier to stick to a diet if you don’t feel hungry all the time
  • Fiber aids digestion, your bowel function needs to be regular, if you are not eliminating daily then weight loss will be difficult to maintain


Other Types of Rice

Basmati Rice
Basmati rice comes in white and brown varieties, the brown Basmati has a lower glycemic index than regular long grain brown rice.

Black Rice
Usually sold as unmilled rice, the fiber-rich black husks of the rice are not removed, making black rice very high in fiber. Also high in iron… ideal if you require iron-rich foods.

Jasmine
Often compared to Basmati Rice and sometimes used in cooking interchangeably, it also comes in brown and white varieties; choose the brown rice variety.

Wild Rice
This rice falls between brown and white rice on the nutitional scale, similar to brown rice, wild rice is less processed than white rice and as a result, obtains more nutrients, specifically protein, vitamin B1 and magnesium.

Rice Best To Avoid

Best to avoid white rice, processed microwave rice, any ready meals with added sauces and extra salt.



Of course your rice can only be healthy when combined with other healthy foods. Find out how to combine with healthy protein and fat at The Diet Solution Program
