Weird... But now that you mention it... My bro in law is from Laos. They eat a metric crap ton of sticky rice. I love it too. I used to over indulge when wed go over for dinners and i liked to eat it right off the hand woven steamer lol. Id always end up so full it was crazy.. Well, id also eat it as left overs.. On those days I never got near as full/sick eating the same amounts. Maybe theyre onto something.
However, no rice for me since January as I've been strictly carnivore and have killed inflammation nearly entirely and went from my normal winter fat mode of 240+ down to a steady 193. Lightest ive been since i was a teenager. Nevermind the weight loss, because some people dont need to, but the overall positive affects ive gotten from this way of eating is incredible. Cant imagine what a younger fit person would gain in doing something like this.
