This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing how your body responds to three different types of starch: resistant starch, slow-digesting starch, and rapid-digesting starch. Researchers want to understand whether different starches affect your blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation differently depending on your individual gut bacteria and genetics. The goal is to figure out which type of starch might be best for people with overweight or obesity.
We know that different people respond differently to the same foods, but we don't fully understand why. This research aims to discover whether your gut bacteria and genetics influence how your body processes different types of starch, which could help doctors give more personalized dietary advice to prevent weight gain and related health problems.

You would visit the clinic multiple times over several months. At each visit, you'll provide blood, saliva, and stool samples, and have your measurements taken. Then you'll try one type of starch for 14 days—eating test meals at breakfast and dinner while wearing a continuous glucose monitor to track your blood sugar. You'll return to the clinic for more blood tests, then take a 2-week break before trying the next type of starch. In total, you'll test all three starch types across about 3 months.
