A Note to the Reader
It is important to check with your physician prior to beginning
any diet, especially if you are taking any medications. Due to the
rapid weight loss with the Rice Diet, it is important to consult with
your physician before reducing your fat, sodium, and calories. You
may be on medication that will need to be altered or discontinued
before changing your diet, and your doctor is the best person to
help you do this. Do not make any changes in your medication
regimen without your physician ’ s advice. Since many physicians
and health care professionals are unfamiliar with the impact of a
truly low-sodium diet, you should point out the low sodium con-
tent of the Rice Diet to your doctor. Feel free, as well, to refer your
physician to the Rice Diet Clinic, and we will be happy to be of
assistance. We can be reached at http://www.ricediet.com. We also rec-
ommend that you keep a record of your weight, any heart disease
risk factors, and any other health predictors that you are aware of
