Has anyone heard of that?
yes.. it is called "diet #7" from Georges Ohsawa, the father of Macrobiotics.
For those interested to know more about it, there are 2 books:
Zen Macrobiotics, by G.Ohsawa and #7 Diet, by Françoise Rivière.
Fasting on brown rice may seem easy, as we are still having "heavy food" to eat..
but in case you choose this option, and it is your first time, i highly recommand to read about it before.
The efficiency of this diet depends - mainly - on the
chewing part.
a minimum of 50 times for each mouthful, for a healthy person.
minimum of 100-150 times for a sick person.
In any case, the results in fasting depends on your own body..
each one of us responds differently.
It also depends on how many toxins u may have in your system..
you will soon notice from your tongue, your urine, and other symptoms like headache, coldness, etc..
The key for a successful fasting is again Awareness..
