The Claim
Two weeks of consuming 19.6 grams of resistant starch from Dodamssal rice has no significant effect on body weight, waist circumference, or body fat percentage in obese adults.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Consuming 19.6 grams of resistant starch from Dodamssal rice for two weeks does not change body weight, waist size, or body fat percentage in obese adults.
See the scientific wording
Two weeks of consuming 19.6 grams of resistant starch from Dodamssal rice does not significantly reduce body weight, waist circumference, or body fat percentage in obese adults, suggesting short-term RS intake alone is insufficient for weight loss.
Resistant starch passes through the stomach and small intestine without being broken down, reaches the colon, and gets broken down by gut bacteria into short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids trigger the release of hormones that improve how the body uses insulin, lowering blood sugar and insulin levels. This improves metabolic health but does not change how much energy the body takes in or burns, so body weight, waist size, and fat percentage stay the same.
What the research says
1 studyEating this special rice with resistant starch for two weeks didn’t make people lose weight or get slimmer, even though it helped their blood sugar and insulin. So, just eating this rice alone isn’t enough to lose weight in the short term.
