The Claim
The Rice Diet was associated with a median reduction of 4.0 kg/m² in BMI across all participants, regardless of baseline blood pressure status, suggesting a consistent and substantial effect on body composition even in individuals without hypertension.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People who ate only rice for a while lost weight—on average, their body mass index dropped by 4 points—no matter if they had high blood pressure or not, meaning it worked well even for those who were otherwise healthy.
