Back to EpisodesChilled Starchy Foods: A Simple Trick for Steady Blood Sugar
Description
Online influencers are raving about a simple trick to reduce calories in rice, pasta, and potatoes: cook, chill, and reheat. While science supports a benefit, its not as dramatic as claimed. The process transforms hard-to-digest starch into resistant starch, which digests slowly and stabilizes blood sugar levels. This is particularly beneficial for those with diabetes or watching their weight, as it curbs hunger signals and reduces fat storage. However, its not a significant calorie cutter and doesnt replace whole grains. Still, its a low-effort way to enhance the nutritional value of starchy sides.
