About 10 or 15 years ago I was a member of a Yahoo group called "Overcoming Overeating," based on the book by Carol Munter and Jane Hirschmann. It's basically an anti-diet philosophy. Anyway, Judy Moscovitz, the author of The Rice Diet Report, who lost 140 pounds on the diet, joined the group to warn all the members off the Rice Diet. She also did so on several diet sites. She said that in the years since writing the book she had regained all the lost weight and developed an eating disorder!
I recalled this recently and searched the internet, but I couldn't find any comments by her, anywhere. I know I didn't imagine it, though, lol. Her comments stuck with me because I had bought the book and tried the diet back in the eighties. (It sounded great to me at the time, but I only lasted two or three days.)
