Diet Ratings
Sticky rice contains ~35g net carbs per 100g cooked. High-carb grain product that breaks ketosis even in small portions.
Glutinous rice (sticky rice) is a grain with no animal products or animal-derived ingredients. It is a whole plant-based food.
Glutinous rice is a grain product excluded from paleo diet. Contains anti-nutrients and lectins. Not available to Paleolithic humans. Strict paleo excludes all grains.
Glutinous rice is a refined grain with high glycemic index and minimal fiber. It contradicts Mediterranean diet principles emphasizing whole grains and minimal processing. Not traditional to Mediterranean cuisines.
Glutinous rice is a grain product, plant-derived and high in carbohydrates. Explicitly excluded from carnivore diet. No animal-derived nutrients.
Glutinous rice (sticky rice) is a grain product. Grains including rice are explicitly excluded on Whole30.
Glutinous (sticky) rice is a refined grain with no FODMAPs. Monash rates all plain rice varieties as low-FODMAP at standard servings (150g cooked).
Glutinous (sticky) rice is a refined grain with high glycemic index and minimal fiber compared to whole grains. DASH emphasizes whole grains for their potassium, magnesium, and fiber content. Glutinous rice lacks these benefits and should be limited in favor of brown rice, wild rice, or other whole grains.
Glutinous (sticky) rice is a refined grain with extremely high glycemic index and glycemic load. It is even more problematic than regular white rice due to its amylopectin content, which causes rapid and sustained blood glucose elevation. The Zone Diet strictly avoids refined grains, and glutinous rice is among the worst offenders. A 1 cup cooked serving contains ~50g carbs with minimal fiber.
Glutinous (sticky) rice is a refined carbohydrate with high glycemic index and minimal fiber. Lacks the polyphenols and antioxidants of brown or wild rice. While not as inflammatory as white flour, it should be limited in an anti-inflammatory diet.
Glutinous (sticky) rice is refined carbohydrate with minimal fiber (0.4g per 100g cooked) and low protein (2.7g per 100g cooked). High glycemic index. The sticky texture may worsen gastric emptying issues in GLP-1 patients (food already moves slowly). Poor nutrient density per calorie.
