Greetings during the fast! I seem to recall that one or two members of this list are trained nutritionists. I would like to know: What would be a minimal diet, using rice as the base? Example: Is it possible to have a balanced diet using: 1) Rice 2) Beans 3) Spinach ? [I have no trouble eating the same foods each day. Watching portions of the "Survivor" show on CBS, and remembering hearing about a rice-based diet that is used to point out food allergies, and especially a desire to learn to fast properly, got me thinking about this] Also a second question: Are potatoes an equivilant substitute for rice, nutritionally? thank you! -Kenneth
