Elimination Diet

Hello,
Some have asked me about my weight loss. It's not much but I have lost 10 lbs still tossing another 5 on and off. I didn't go on this diet to lose weight but to get healthier. If you avoid or limit the rice intake than you will lose weight as a result. Another benefit is that you will feel better.
Here is a website that explains why to use the elimination diet. 1 is to find what you are allergic to and another is to help up your immune system.

This can also help with fibromyalgia (FMS) or chronic fatigue syndrome.
