Here I explain how Resistant Starch in Rice helps with Weight Loss and Diabetes using a traditional Indian method For decades, we were told that rice is the enemy of weight loss and blood sugar management. However, recent clinical research is now catching up to what our grandmothers always knew: It isn't about the rice; it’s about how you prepare it. By using the "Maand" (draining) method and leveraging Resistant Starch (RS), rice can be transformed from a high-glycemic carb into a gut-healing superfood. 1. Draining the "Maand": Reducing the Glycemic Load Traditional Indian cooking involves boiling rice in excess water and draining the starchy liquid. The Science: Rice contains two types of starch: Amylose and Amylopectin. Amylopectin is rapidly digested, leading to a quick spike in blood glucose. Draining the excess water helps wash away a significant portion of this "Rapidly Digestible Starch" (RDS). Clinical Relevance: While the fiber is lower in w...
