*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.*

Have you tried washing the rice at least five times until the water is clear? Unwashed rice can contain high levels of arsenic ( leftover from the attempts to wipe out the boll weevil in the king cotton area in Arkansas, where most of our rice is grown now. That might account for the inflammation.

Thank you for doing the heavy lifting for all of us Steve! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing inflammation as a result. We've been keto for 4 years now, I can honestly say I don't miss rice or potatoes. Cauliflower has become the new potato in our house. Bbq pork rinds have replaced chips. I've also become a much better cook and baker as a result. It's fun to try out your recipes and all the others on KZread. Thank you again for all you do for the keto community 💖

THE REAL QUESTION IS WHY WE LISTEN TO ANYTHING FROM JOHN HOPKINS INS.

This is brilliant - best keto videos I've ever seen. Before I went keto I always used to freeze my bread and rice - I knew it made a difference to GI and it was more convenient. What I didn't know was that I might be able to eat these things on my keto diet - wholemeal toast could be back too! I do miss bread. Thanks for these videos. I think you're going to make a lot of our lives a little easier with this knowledge.

Son in law in med school, one of the things done in lab for one of his classes, half students ate rice plain, the other half ate rice with butter, blood testing done before and after at standard intervals, results absolutely indicated that adding butter substantially slowed AND lowered the overall impact on blood glucose. I don't know the numbers though, only that the difference was substantial across the board. It was just regular rice, not prepared as resistant starch rice.

I think I learned something! Consider trying the experiment with adding resistance starch, like plantain flour. or some other product marketed as resistance starch.

Thanks so much for doing these tests, great job and so helpful for someone on the keto/carnivore journey but missing rice so much.

Excellent scientific approach. You get the human pin cushion award and, at least an honorable mention for the patience and dedication award. Cauliflower rice it is for me, pending of course, your future research.

Dear Steve, I first learned about this on Heavenly Fan, a Keto Vegan site. I decided to try this because I have been keto for 27 months now and have noticed that my sleeping has been very drastically affected by being on keto for so long. I cannot sleep no matter what. I don't drink coffee or eat chocolate. I use only sweet sticky rice. KZread shows you exactly the process used to make the best sticky rice. After it has cooled I portion it out into about 9 servings and wrap each portion with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight. I then make a most delicious coconut cream sauce with a can of coconut milk, xanthan and keto sweetener of choice. I also refrigerate this. The next day I pour some of the coconut sauce over the cold sticky rice. This is a fabulous dessert in the evening before I go to sleep. I sleep much better now and I haven't gained weight. I will test my blood sugar in the future as you have done. My favorite dessert before doing Keto was the thai Mango with Sticky Rice and Coconut cream.. I hope that you might try this. The texture of slicky rice is almost like pudding and can be addictive. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes.

Try a test by soaking your rice prior to cooking. 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water with 1 Tbsp of ACV. Soak 8-12 hours. I usually do it overnight. Measure out the water used to soaking in a measuring cup or jar. Note the level. Rinse the rice until water is clear. Measure out water to the level after soaking the rice. (Usually that’s measures out up to 2-4 Tbsp less than 2 cups). Cook rice in water or broth, 1 Tbsp of coconut oil or butter and salt. You will cook rice in half the time stated on the package. So if your rice cooking time is 45 - 50 minutes you will cook it 22 - 25 minutes. When I soak my rice I don’t have the inflammation in my joints. I do the same with beans and nuts. Soaking removes the phytic acids that can cause inflammation.

Super cool test. I love the scientific points on most everything. Show me the science 🧪 I’m going to have to be honest tho. I don’t track anything, insulin or ketones. Never have since I started Keto going on 2 years now (Jan 2019). Never will. I’m super flexible with my Keto, I’m not dirty Keto, not lazy Keto either. I’m not obsessed with the Keto diet. I’d say I’m mostly carnivore with a veg sometimes. I just eat the food, lose the weight kind of person. I wanted to do Keto a way I could live with it. I did not want Keto to be a “thing” in my life I worry with or have to do extra anything. I wanted it to be a sustainable diet that fit my life. So like Jason fung said, I have a little potato once in a while, well cause I like potatoes. The way I see it, if we allow a relaxed way of doing things, it’s less of a drudge. I want to live with this diet for the rest of my life. I’ve lost 50lbs so far.

Hi Here is the ancient Indian recipe! Now I am realizing why it always made me feel very good, improved my digestion AND elimination, and did NOT affect my blood sugar level in the least the way normally the way hot rice or potatoes affect me and make my heart race! Here is the super simple yet most delicious recipe! Cook rice. Cool it down. Pour enough water to just cover the rice, to create magic level 1. After 12 hours or so, the rice is soft, cool and has probably developed some good bacteria. Now add some finely chopped onions, cucumbers, green chillies, cilantro, pink salt, pepper, yogurt or greek yogurt or kefir to make it look and feel creamy and silky. Leave it out again for few hours. Test yourself and see how great you feel when you eat this. Once cooked rice must never be re heated. As soon as rice is cooled after cooking, it starts to become resistant starch thru bacteria looks like. No wonder it always makes such a difference for me where as hot rice affects me badly.

Thank you for doing this. And thanks for considering oats. I was going to try overnight oats (after reading Johns Hopkins) because I miss oatmeal. And I miss lentils and brown rice.

This was very interesting, thank you for sacrificing your health for us to see! Another reason of why this might work for some people, is that those of us who have been on a keto diet for longer periods, tend to have a higher spike in glucose, as our body is more used to burning ketones for fuel as opposed to glucose. Those who are on a lower carb diet, but not a keto diet may still have a better glucose tolerance.

Thank you so very much for all you do for us guys 🙋🏻‍♀️🌟🌟👏🇬🇧

I'm in my 50s, and I've been on Keto for 3 years and Carnivore for the past 3 months. All the joint pain I used to have is gone. What I really miss is rice pudding. I liked eating it cold. It may not be worth trying if I get inflammatory effects.

For me it doesn’t look like it’s worth it. This was a fun video to watch. Enjoyed it! Thanks for the great info.

Thx, finally someone doing not just spouting. I was testing glucose about 7 times a day, waking, hour after waking, before & after meals, before going to bed. I only eat rice when I have sushi. However I add potato starch (resistance starch) to my smoothies, and my glucose after eating is always normal no spikes. Smoothie is 2 table spoons EVO, 2 table spoons ACV, blueberries, avocado, bitter melon, apple, celery, cucumber, green powder, 3 tbls fresh ground flax seed, whey protein, collagen powder. Avocado last it tends to turn it into mayonnaise, Green tea or water to thin it out as needed. 😊😊👍👍🙏🙏

This was really interesting. Thank you for being so thorough.

I didn't read all of the comments here but I believe what you experience is called a glycemic load. Before I ever heard of Keto I got a book on the glycemic index. It said the best foods for us have the smallest impact on our blood sugar and the only way to know is to measure every food painstakingly like you did in this video. And they said it could vary in each person. But at that time there was a list of about 100 foods and their indexes. Interestingly peanut m&m's and Twix ranked pretty low so guess what I snacked on a lot? lol. But that was before I had a keto meter. But the book said that if you eat a high impact food with a low impact food it lessens the blood sugar response and that is called a glycemic load. So if you were going to eat rice, eat it with meat for a better blood sugar response. That correlates with your study. Very interesting. Thanks for doing all of that poking and testing. And that's hilarious about why you didn't show your scale!!!!

This is super good. Glad you tried all of these. Thanks. I had not connected my fingers getting stiff to what I thought was an innocuous food like rice but have eaten rice recently. I usually try a half palm full in a meal filled with vegetable so the rice is buried in the other ingredients.

This is sooo fascinating! And thank you so much for sharing!

Steve, thanks for the extended experimentation! (so many finger pricks, yikes!) I read the articles, very informative and well cited, and now I'm going to jump down the rabbit hole with you. I plan to try soaking rice overnight, then steaming, and finally cooling overnight...this is an old school technique I sussed out from Korean grandparents (and a technique still used today). We'll see how that goes, and yes I will add butter to my test, like you mentioned I'm aiming for a 'bump' and a real life situation. Update 10/8/2020: (Hope this is the right way versus replying to the replies) After more reading, I selected long-grain variety (basmati), seems it can create more resistant starch (RS) compared to short-grain. I overnight soaked the rice before cooking. A few articles pointed out that steaming is best; however, I bailed due to other stuff going on and boiled 1 cup dry in a rice cooker (not under pressure) then set aside a portion to cool to room temperature (RT) and the other in the refrigerator (2-nights). Procedure (over two mornings, RT then chilled): 100g cooked rice (about 3/4 cup), 30 second reheat in microwave (articles say if you did it right, resistant starch type III is heat stable to 248F), 1 tsp butter, salt. Results (mg/dL): Room temp rice (baseline, 30min, 1hr, 2hr): 82, 138, 122, 83! (double checked and pricked a second time, 85) Chilled RS rice (baseline, 30min, 1hr, 2hr, 3hr): 88, 111, 142, 106, 95 Big difference, not going to do a T-test or anything, but the results were surprising. I feel the 138 and 142 are within std dev of each other, so in terms of magnitude (or "spike"), both types were similar, which means I didn't cook/cool it properly to create good levels of RS? Or the type of RS created (slow vs. rapid) is different...for me (totally individual response). It's the time lag and the area under the curve (AUC) that is very different for the first 2 hours, 13350 vs 14220 for RT vs chilled... slightly higher overall blood glucose 'exposure' with the chilled, 'resistant starch' rice! 😲 I am trying to find articles about which is better for insulin control, a brief spike or blunted max over a longer period of time? Overall, sad that I saw the spike with both. Personally the room temp results aren't terrible, knowing I can eat almost a cup of rice (and not worry about creating RS) and be back to baseline after 2 hours sounds like good glycemic control to me (thinking ahead when I start to introduce more carbs in my diet). BUT the downsides of the 'spike'...definitely experienced elevated heart rate and felt a bit flush and jittery in the hour after eating the rice. Next steps, I want to try other varietals and definitely try steaming! Thanks for introducing this interesting topic, Steve! FYI Notes: I have been doing strict keto since June (

Something I just learned about my body, (and I think the reason behind it) is that I cannot now eat ANY grains unless they are organic. My joints start hurting within hours... Turns out many farmers are now using glyphosate as a desiccant on grain crops. And that kills the good gut bacteria which can lead to inflammatory responses. This doesn’t address the ketones or blood sugar readings, but may be helpful to many out there suffering from inflammation.

Most of the comments I get on these resistant starch videos are either mean/critical or demands that I try such-and-such a method or ingredient. So I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment. It is much appreciated. 🙂

Where I live back when my mom cooked she added lard or pig fat to the rice water with salt. Or she would render fatback and cook the rice in that. So as years progressed our society got sophisticated we then started to add that horrendous chemical they call oil. Well keto has put sense back into my life. When my family sees me eating 🥓 bacon, meat eggs every day they always comment “ YOUR GOING TO DIE OF A HEART ATTACK “. I don’t pay any attention to them and keep to my keto!

Thanks Steve for taking one for the team. I remember as a kid my mom made boiled plain rice as a side for dinner EVERY day. Hence my ban on rice as an adult. “Naught gonna do it, wouldn’t be prudent” 😂

My step-dad also banned rice as an adult as his mom served cold rice with milk and sugar for breakfast nearly every day to feed 5 growing kids before school. (pre WWII) He couldn't stand the sight of rice

Lynn Ries that’s sad 😢 and understandable. I think for my Mom it was just easier. Three meals a day every day can make anyone weary. I think we can all relate especially now during these times.

Your methodical, which I really appreciate. Glued to my seat from start to finish

Like this experiment. I am an imflamatory creature. I only found this out while on Keto everything else masked what foods I react to. I was keen to see that your ketones stayed above 1 consistently . I go all over the place. So this encouraged me

Although I don't plan on eating any grass seeds in the near future, I really do appreciate you going through all of that. It's super interesting and even though it's a one off experiment, it really gives us an idea of what will happen if we fall victim to our urges at the sushi bar. Thanks Steve O!

Great video, Steve! And I am sorry you had to become a human pin cushion to provide us with content! I watched another video interview with Dr. Jason Fung the other day and he said something that I had never really thought about, but was very important to me. He said that Glucose levels and insulin levels are two very different things. So while glucose levels may not be severely affected, for those who are insulin resistant, insulin resistance can still be affected by certain foods. He wasn't' speaking about any food in particular, but it gave me pause as just because my glucose levels are not highly impacted by something I ate, that doesn't mean that food is making me less insulin resistant. Just thought I would mention that if there are other people like me that are trying to reverse severe insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. It's something to keep in mind.

I'm not a keto person, but I am just about to do the experiments you just did to check on the blood sugar effects of rice and resistant starch. Thank you for sacrificing your fingertips for the experiments.

Thanks a bunch for being so generous !

I'm using the Glucose Goddes hacks. If I eat veggies first, then protein with fat and then the rice or potato, it makes a huge difference in my blood glucose and overall health. I always cook rice and potatoe one day before consuming, and I always reheat it. Also if I drink 1 tablespoon of vinegar in a glass of water before eating or I put vinegar on my salad, it impacts my blood glucose very positively. Veggies before the proten and fat decreaes blood glucose spikes with 75%. Vinegar decreases it with 30%. 10 minutes moving after eating helps to get glucose pass through from your blood to your muscles. Inflammations decrease, aging slows down, sleep gets better to mention the most important positive side effects. This way I can eat more freely and enjoy food. I had huge wins with Jesse's book Glucose Revolution. Very simple and very effective!

Hiya 👋 do you add vinegar on the rice?

Great video, Steve! Thank you for all the testing and experimentation, it gives me more to think about. I am currently wondering if this ties in with the carb cycling idea, giving us more flexibility (not in the joints!). If we are carb free or very low carb for an appreciable length of time, do we then have more sensitivity to the input of starch, and that if we cycled, wouldn't show quite such a large increase in blood sugar? OR, does it simply reflect the differences between individuals and how their body reacts? Fascinating stuff.

I’m currently reading “Life in the Fasting Lane” by Dr Jason Fung, and I’m starting to get a greater understanding of this - but not enough yet to answer this question.

Thank you for all your testing! On another note......you crack me up....."a reflection in the scale" had me laughing out loud.

Just found this. Thank you for doing this! Amazing channel. I'll look at past videos before commenting or "requesting". ;-) Thank you.

I have experienced a recurrence of joint pain just from using a garlic salt that contained “rice starch” to prevent caking...inflammation from rice definitely effects some of us, it took repeatedly using that seasoning for me to figure out the cause.

Thank you so very much for this very informative video. I've tried similar 'tests' with my insulin resistant husband. I'm convinced Keto has saved his life. He's lost serious weight and doesn't SNORE or show any signs of sleep apnea! He does miss potatoes, cereal and popcorn, but if his blood sugar spikes, he won't touch it again! We tried the potatoes cooled and found only a modest change. I use cauliflower, radishes, or khol rabi instead. The changes in his health are remarkable. I really want him with me for the long haul.
