Rye contributes to weight loss. (IMAGE) Chalmers University of Technology Caption A new study from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, shows that people who ate high-fibre products made from rye grain lost more body fat and overall weight than those who ate corresponding products made from wheat. Although both the rye and wheat groups lost weight during the study, those who ate rye products lost an average of one kilogram more than those who ate wheat products. The rye group also lost half a percent more body fat compared to the wheat group.
