New science reveals a "super carb" found in certain foods that's helping women lose weight at an incredible rate and sends your metabolism soaring. It's called resistant starch and it helps prevent foods that contain it (like pasta and potatoes) from being stored as fat!
Resistant starch can do for you: you'll burn 30 % more belly fat!! You'll take in 50% fewer carb calories and you'll never feel hungry!! The super carb also stabilizes blood sugarto curb cravings and optimize energy. You need to consume at least 20 grams of resistant starch daily.What I've learned: Resistant starch helps prevent foods that contain it (like pasta and potatoes) from being stored as fat. Most starches are broken down into glucose & released into the bloodstream into the small intestine. While digesti...ve enzymes promote digestion and absorption of nutrients they can't break up resistant starch molecules, so they are not converted into sugar. As resistant starch travels through the large intestine, it triggers physiological changes that improve your results with trying to lose weight.

The diet:
For best results, follow a moderate calorie diet that's rich in lean meats, healthy fats, fruits and veggies. Then consume at least 20 grams of resistant starch daily. Each of the following items has 5 grams per serving so pick 4 a day and let's see who loses the most!! :)
*1 med., slightly under ripe banana (mix w/ 1/2 cup each of frozen berries, yogurt, and juice
*1/2 cup cooked pearl barley (can add a little cinnamon and brown sugar)
*1 cup cooked plain oatmeal (layer with blueberries and mangoes) or mini choc chips and chopped dried cherries for a dessert
