I would suggest the following to anyone with a weight problem. It works.
Eliminate two things from your diet - flour and sugar. Eat as much as you want of everything else. You can eat whole grains such as oatmeal, but nothing with flour or sugar. You can drink juice and eat fruit.
You will be amazed at the results.
I'm going to pass this along to my daughter. What a good idea.
For any of you who like rice but hate preparing it, I can't stress strongly enough how excellent the Zojiruchi cooker is. Easily the best appliance we've ever had.
