Supports Weight Management

Simply Perfect Powder supports weight management! The fiber and protein content in our Sprouted Black Rice Powder supports satiation so you feel full for a longer period of time. This can lead to lower calorie consumption and weight management. Past studies have shown that higher fiber intake is connected with lower body weight, lower BMI and lower fat intake (1). Our black rice is a sprouted food that contains fiber and protein.
A 2008 study showed a significant reduction in weight, body mass index and body fat percentage when a group of women ate a black rice and brown rice combination in comparison to eating white rice. The group also showed a gradual decrease in cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and showed an increase in enzymes that scavenge free radicals and limit the damage they cause to your body (2).*
Another area of weight management that is not always explored, is your blood sugar level. Doctors report that patients come in counting calories and feel frustrated with the lack of results. That's because keeping track of blood sugar levels is much more important. Dr. Muenzer wrote in the Tufts Medical Journal that "I found an easy, healthy way to lose weight fast and improve my overall health. I simply started to pay attention to the glycemic index of my food (3)." Most people don't understand this, but it is simple science. The body retains fat when blood sugar levels are spiked (3). When you eat low glycemic foods like Sprouted Black Rice Powder, it supports lower blood sugar levels and weight management.*
