"Fat Free" Short grain rice and skimmed milk diet highly effective for fat loss
-
Can you clarify about soaking the rice? Do you boil it for an hour, then skim, then boil again? Or do you mean you soak, skim, and then boil for 10 minutes?
I've been using my instapot to make rice, but I haven't been soaking and skimming. I should definitely be getting the excess starch out.
-
@idealabsrat So you boil water and soak the rice in that, just sitting on a countertop in a pot. Then after minimum an hour you rinse it to remove excess starch (I have found stirring it mid soak makes this much easier, takes twice as long to wash properly if you don't). After it is rinsed to the point that upon sticking your finger into it in a few different locations you have no residue sticking to your finger put back in the pot, add water to first joint on index finger above top of rice, bring to boil and leave on low heat for 10 minutes.

@GuantanamO-Shea I'd also recommend you try fat free sweetened condensed milk, and making homemade jello out of gelatin
-
Do you think this will also work with potatoes? I don't really like rice but I could eat endless potatoes easily.
-
@SVVAYED I have tried it, is a useful addition. Will definitely experiment with it more, and definitely need to add more gelatin into the diet.
-
@Netabolism I don't see why not, fulfills the same role of being high carb and low fat. In fact I'm pretty sure that I have just reinvented the Potato Hack with rice instead of potatoes and adding skimmed milk.
If you can handle the potatoes in that quantity go ahead, my main reason for picking the short grained rice is I wanted the most easily digested starch possible in order to make sure I didn't flood my intestines with undigested starch, causing bacterial overgrowth. Also the caloric density, a pound of rice feeds me for a day, whereas I would probably need 5 pounds of potatoes for equivalent calories. -
Decided to weigh myself this morning for a change, total weight is starting to decrease in addition to the overall slimming. For those worried about fat-soluble vitamins I am supplementing with them as needed.
-
@GuantanamO-Shea Even if you are supplementing the fat solubles, how would you absorb them if you have no fat in your diet?
-
@zipris I take them suspended in an oil, so the fat needed is right there. On some days I do have some low fat milk instead of skimmed if I am feeling like it. The main goal of this whole experiment was initially testing a macro mix I had never actually tried in my previous experiments somehow, the fact that it seems to be working quite well is just a bonus to satiating my curiosity.
-
@Netabolism I think it would work quite well, I have been following this blog on it for a while.

I tried it 18 months ago and like a lot of people lost strength but also quite a lot of fat. I think the skim milk option might be the solution for staying anabolic.
-
Is there such a thing as reverse ketosis, or let's say carbosis where fat oxidation is kept to the utmost minimum? I'm interested if there's anything about this, i don't care if it comes from vegan sources like McDougall or Esselstyn.
-
@GuantanamO-Shea doing something similar at the moment to lean out a bit. I've cut out most fat apart from some egg and coconut oil, removing all cheese (I was eating a lot) from my diet and replacing whole milk with skim. I'm seeing really good results already without feeling too hungry or struggling with lifts in the gym.
-
@Spud_consumer This is great to hear! Glad to hear that it can work in variants that allow more dietary fat, though of course those fats being coconut oil and egg yolks certainly helps.

Yeah I can't imagine doing this without the milk, even more so with potatoes since you'd have to eat so much of them. I think when you are eating starches at the quantities needed for a diet like this ease of digestibility is paramount, since any slowdown in digestion will result in more and more hitting the gut bacteria, which could very easily go completely wild.

@jrwhisky Reminds me of "I’m not aware of a formal name for this, so I’m dubbing it carbosis until further notice. It’s a state where insulin sensitivity dramatically improves, and where carbohydrate metabolism is optimized."

Brief update in regards to the experiment. Still going very well, seeing more and more slimming and overall weight has started to drop as well. Particularly noticing slimming in the face, with jaw becoming more defined and more noticeable cheekbones.
Felt vindicated about the plan's efficacy when I saw this haidut post: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/1155/obesity-linked-to-mitochondrial-dysfunction-in-gi-tract-treatable-by-fat-restriction
Will keep going until the summer at least, getting better at flavoring the rice has made this much more feasible. If I play my cards right I will be downright lean by then.
-
@GuantanamO-Shea congratulations on the success. This is the kind of experimental lifestyles that us the pionerring generation of peater's should embrace. Can you advice how you are flavouring the rice?
-
@Norwegian-Mugabe currently using a mixture of chicken stock and just adding in various spices to taste. Nothing too complicated, mostly the goal is to make this palatable, since I'm not going to pretend its the most intellectually stimulating diet. May play around with making a rice-pudding like sweet variation in the near future, add some sweetness into the mix.
-
Would any brand of sticky rice work do you think?
-
Would this work if we ate rice pudding made with organic rice and skimmed milk?
