Calling all carb lovers! A TikTok cook has shared a simple hack for cutting calories from starchy foods like rice and bread without having to shrink your portion size — and a doctor says it really works.) shared her “Asian mom secret” to cut up to 50% of carbs and calorie absorption from rice with just a few easy steps.After being cooled and reheated, many of the starches in carb-rich foods become resistant to digestion in the small intestine.
Rajan imparted that resistant starch improves bowel regularity and stool bulk and can even reduce the risk of colon cancer.Further, and to the benefit of diabetics, resistant starch has a lower glycemic impact: “This means it can reduce blood sugar spikes after eating and help keep stable blood sugar levels.”
Rajan noted that green bananas are an excellent source of resistant starch if you want the benefits without the hassle of cooking.Rice may contain spores of the common bacterium Bacillus cereus, which can release toxins that cause two types of food-borne illnesses — diarrhea and vomiting.Symptoms can emerge within six to 12 hours. Though not life-threatening, serious infection is more likely in immunocompromised people. In extreme cases, it can lead to liver failure.
When done, don’t leave the rice at room temperature for more than two hours — or more than an hour at warmer temperatures .If you keep the rice in a rice cooker on the “keep warm” setting, use a thermometer to make sure it stays at least 150 degrees. Once the rice is in a container, place it right into the fridge.
