Resistant Starch Series Part 5: The Caloric "Cheat Code" — Why Cold Rice Is Metabolically Invisible and Targets Visceral Fat

Caloric partitioning map showing standard starch at 4 kcal/g absorbed in small intestine vs resistant starch at 2.5 kcal/g fermented in large intestine with visceral fat oxidation

RS provides only ~2.5 kcal/g instead of 4 kcal/g — a 37.5% caloric reduction. It bypasses the small intestine entirely, triggers GLP-1/PYY satiety hormones, and clinical trials show it selectively reduces visceral fat via improved insulin sensitivity.
