We also recommend the “sekihan diet,” where you eat sekihan instead of the usual white rice. Compared to white rice, sekihan is higher in carbohydrates and calories (140g is about 235kcal compared to about 265kcal of red rice). Still, since it is glutinous rice and contains beans rich in dietary fiber, it is necessary to chew well before eating. It is characterized by a feeling of satiety with a small amount.
