Summary

This study looked at whether eating quinoa and buckwheat instead of rice or bulgur helps overweight adults lose weight and improve their gut bacteria. 148 healthy adults aged 25-45 with a BMI between 25 and 35 took part. Researchers measured weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, and gut microbiome changes. The goal was to see if these grains offer extra health benefits beyond a standard diet.
