Taking a Starring Role is....Resistant Starch!

So we mentioned before about Resistant Starch (RS). Well, that's what we are going to talk about tonight and why it's a big deal. RS is a type of carb that resists digestion. It doesn't get absorbed in the bloodstream in the small intestines like other foods. "It creates a chain reaction in your body, literally shrinking fat cells, preserving muscle, stoking your metabolism, and making you feel fuller, longer."

"Resistant Starch might sound exotic, but the foods that have it are probably in your kitchen right now! As a bonus, they're affordable, tasty, and easy to prepare." Some of the top RS Foods are: Bananas, Oatmeal, White Beans, Potatoes, Whole-Wheat Pasta, Brown Rice, and much more. On the CarbLovers diet, you are suppose to consume 10-15 grams of RS daily. Most people only consume about 4.8 grams. So, the more RS you eat, the more weight you're going to lose. We try to eat a banana everyday. Green bananas are actually the highest RS food on the list. Ashley isn't a huge fan of green bananas, but she's getting used to eating "crunchy" bananas. Carrie was stoked about the green bananas, because that's the way she has always preferred them. We love our Breakfast Shakes, which we've mentioned before, and we also really like Banana and Almond Butter Toast, and something called the Banana Nut Elvis Wrap.

All-in-all, Resistant Starches are your secret weapon to successfully loose weight on this diet, without feeling hungry or having cravings. They're only found in carbohydrate foods! So many people are freaked out about eating carbs, but in reality, if you don't eat carbs, you won't lose weight.
