The Best Way To Make Rice

Fewer calories, and more probiotics

Rice is one of the most beloved foods worldwide.

But here’s the problem: it’s dense in calories and spikes blood sugar fast.

There’s a little-known cooking trick that changes the way your body digests rice…

Making it both lower in calories and gentler on your blood sugar.

It’s called resistant starch.

When you cook rice and cool it—the starch molecules undergo a structural change.

Instead of being fully digested and absorbed as glucose, some of the starch resists digestion and passes through like fiber.

That means:

  • Fewer usable calories from the rice

  • A smaller blood sugar spike

  • Better support for gut health (since resistant starch feeds beneficial bacteria)

In fact, this Instagram post showed a guy testing his blood sugar after eating reheated rice—and his glucose didn’t spike.

Proof in real time of how powerful this method is.

Here’s how to do it at home:

Resistant Starch Rice Recipe

  1. Cook 1 cup of white rice as you normally would.

  2. Once it’s done, stir in 1–2 teaspoons of coconut oil (this helps further stabilize the starch).

  3. Let the rice cool completely in the fridge for at least 12 hours.

  4. Reheat and enjoy!

Don’t let it stay in the fridge too long or it will form mold.

That’s it. Same rice, fewer calories, less impact on your blood sugar.

Sometimes the smartest health hacks aren’t supplements or gadgets—they’re simply learning how to work with nature.

Until next time,
