Testing Resistant Starch pt 2 - The Rice Episode - Blood Glucose and Ketone Impact Tested

Follow-up:

It's been four days since I had the cold rice. I'm still feeling mild inflammation in both knees and my right elbow. I don't know if this is purely due to that last glucose spiking bowl of rice or a cumulative effect from all four bowls over the course of a week. What I will say is, if you choose to test out resistant starch/rice for yourself, be mindful not only of your blood glucose and ketone readings, but also if you experience inflammation.

Also, prior to switching testing units, I did a side by side test of the two (it was my last BG test strip for the old unit so I had to switch monitors). Blood glucose was 3 points different and blood ketones was .1 point different. So, I would argue that there is no significant difference.

Black rice has a low GI of 42.3 and minimum effect on blood glucose levels due to its high fiber and magnesium levels. Still, it is a carb/protein so you get the calories.

When you say you cooled the rice, did you refrigerate it?

Thank you for making this video for me. I am struggling to figure out what I can eat on a limited budget. Your research is helping me move forward at a much faster pace than I could ever do on my own. I'm at a tipping point in my health and each mistep is a critical factor. May God bless you. Sincerely Rich.

I'm curious to know if you washed the rice ? That would remove a lot of starch off the rice and did you use a pro rice cooker ?

I am 75, as long as I eat Turmeric everyday, I have no joint discomfort...at all. If I stop eating Turmeric, within one week, I will get inflammation in my joints. I try to never miss a day. I just grind up the actual root in my morning smoothies. I feel great...no meds and no health problems

In Japan we have cold rice frequently in the form of "onigiri". BUT, it needs to be said, diabetes II is on the increase. Often unobserved because Japanese people don't seem to develop the same degree of big belly and they "push through" physical discomfort. A guy who worked on my house lost a foot the same day he learned that he had diabetes.

Thanks for testing yourself. for me and others.

Brown rice is better than white rice.

My MIL uses par boiled. I wonder of that makes a difference. Im puerto rican and we eat lots of white rice. I recently went on carnivore which has been a game changer. But i enjoy foods in my culture so i want to find alternatives that allow me to have some rice every now and again. I dont have diabetes but i do have pcos and i assume that i suffered from hyperinsulinimia although never tested for it. Any thoughts?

At least he tells rice no good white rice carsegen othing in rice just filler n no good anyhow

How long are you leaving the rice in the fridge? I heard 24 hours are more is better??? Interesting results, thankful you did the test.

Could you try brown rice. White rice is process food!

Thanks for this very interesting video. An alternative hypothesis to explain why the cold rice spiked your blood glucose more than all the other ones is that by chewing it for longer, you infused it with more amylase-containing saliva and, therefore, digested more of the starch or digested it faster. To figure out whether the chewing or the lack of fat had the biggest impact, I guess you could try a bowl of cold rice with butter... although that doesn't sound very appetizing!

Try to cook rice in a pressure cooker. Iteresting results. Eat the rice immediately.

Good thing you ate the
rice, bc you are not in ketosis. As a side note, you need to have the bacteria that feeds on the restistant starch

Yes but you are not diabetic and your blood response may very well be far different than a diabetic person.

One preparation I did not see tested is fried rice. Fry uncooked rice in oil until brown and then hydrate the rice.

please where can I get the keytomodel

I think it’s the vacuum Packing not allowing g the rice to breakdown with the exposure to oxygen…. Just a theory.

Myth ... BUSTED! If you are going to eat rice .. just eat it. ;) Me? No rice .. still.

Words are not enough to thank you for making this video. I'm on keto n missing rice very badly. Really thankful n blessed that I come across your video. Now I can add some rice some days. Thanks much. Any other tips anybody has, kindly share them. Thanks.

This video is now 3 years old so I don't know if your keto mojo testing device has the capability of measuring GKI (glucose ketone index) but if it does please include that figure with your results. Professor Thomas Seyfried pioneered that measurement and had it implemented on Keto-Mojo devices but I'm not sure exactly when that happened. Thank you for your efforts.

Great video. I am keeping off the rice completely. Thanks for sharing

What I thought was that you're supposed to let the carbohydrates cool for twelve hours or more. Then reheat and eat. What are you doing? The study you linked said nothing about 12 hours or more.

Wrap your food with fibre & protein & fat.

Love your videos... Thank you for being the tester... I have done my own tests with the rice because I love some rice with butter and stir fry.. If I can have a cup of rice once or twice a week... I'm good... I love potatoes too but I'm afraid they are a no go on Keto...

Holy Casey Kasem , you should pitch a Hollywood scrip staring in the Count Down as Casey Kasem. 👂Ringer

Well, the people in Southeast Asia eat rice two to three times everyday and not as many people with diabetes as Americans. Your test not physically reflect the scientific data just because your body reacts to new foods you absorb to your body.

I am 77 years old, having diabetes. Would you please test on black rice to see if it is better than white rice. Thanks,

Hey there Steve! Hope you’re doing well! Don’t know how I missed this series the first time around! I think my blood sugar and anxiety spiked for you when I saw you eat the fresh rice 😮. Was interesting to hear how the rice affected you so negatively- really shows how in tune we become once we move to a low carb lifestyle. Some of the things you say crack me up 😂😂😂 Thank you for all you do, sir!

That would of spiked my blood sugar to over 400.

Good info...thank you!

I would like to see this done with a diabetic, which you clearly are not.

Could you have tried the rice diet with different types of rice, i.e. calrose, black rice, etc?

This is serious! this rice issues cause havoc to human beings, people should abstaining from eating it, it's very dangerous,Dr I'm really enjoyed your lectures keep it up! From nigerian

Does how reheat the rice matter? Microwave vs stove or oven?

What kind of 40 year old man has not heard of butter on rice.

This is actually a great experiment, thank you so much for doing it!

I wonder if other more complex carbohydrates, like some beans, maybe quinoa and fruits like green bananas (or any low GI carb) could have had a more potentiated effect (a reduced spike). I'm doing a type of low carb diet right now and trying to go for carbs that do not spike glucose so much. I'll try to make the experiment too. Great channel, warm regard!

In Wisconsin here we have a saying, EAT CHEESE OR DIE. 😮😮😮

What about microwaving to reheat?

Well, to me this totally debunk the whole thing of refrigerating the rice. Rice is no good for us period !!!

Try it without the butter. I am plant based and the butter is a problem for me

If you're diabetic, don't eat rice.

As a type 2 diabetic ive found that eating fat leads to higher blood glucose readings for me the next day

I eat rice cooked with a dab of vegetable oil. It would be nice if you'd check the result of that. As a diabetic (A1C=7) I have inflammation of the hand and joints and it never occurred to me that it may have come from what I'd just eaten. Would you talk more on that subject of foods that inflame.

You have great elocution. Your explanation is crystal clear. With your gift of gab, you should consider doing other types of videos. You are a true American English speaker.

I might try your test with risotto. The fat is incorporated into the grain via a long cooking process. 🤔

Great video. Thank you for the feedback to your experiment. It was greatly appreciated.
