Question A wee bit of confusion over 10 day rice diet

Hello everybody! I just started my Macrobiotic 10 day rice diet (I hope! been 5 days so far!) and I was wondering if I am doing this correctly???
Am I just suppose to eat brown rice for 10 days straight - or can I sneak some veggies/tofu in there?
Please keep in mind that I have never attended a Macro cooking class or spoken to anyone else who is Macro, I am just getting my info from the 3 books I purchased.
Okay so here is the big confusion part - the 10 day rice diet... what I have is a bit vague, just people talking about their experiences on it, but not necessarily a "guide" if you will to what you eat 3 times a day for 10 days, (I am assuming it is not just brown rice and nothing else, but I may be wrong??? I have no idea?).
This is just an example of some of what I have been eating, so please any help, advice, info, guidance, mentoring, is most appreciated!!!

Breakfast:
organic oatmeal w/ 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
miso soup w/ aprox 6 small cubes (1/4" inch) of tofu
green tea

Lunch:
Brown rice
Veggies (carrots, snap peas/string beans, broccoli, mushrooms, onion/garlic) either steamed, stir fry (in sunflower oil), or a fresh salad (no toms or peps).
a little tofu and shoyu thrown in

Snack:
organic crunchy oat cereal (1/4 cup) dry
-or-
a banana, apple, or peach with 2 tablespoons soya yogurt
green tea

Dinner:
Quinoa mixed with steamed or lightly boiled veggies, corn, carrots, etc. over watercress salad and cucumbers with 1/2 tsp olive oil.
Baked Summer squash with miso/ginger dressing.

After 8:PM:
Decaf Green tea


Am I doing this right? Or am I suppose to be eating just the grains/brown rice for the full 10 days? If so, can I eat a variety of grains or just brown rice?

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this!
