A new research has proved that carbs *can* actually make you lose weight if you know how to cook them and eat them. Great news, I would say. According to Leslie Bonci, author of the American Dietetic Association's Guide to Better Digestion, "Resistant starch has the potential to become the next hot nutrition trend."
Many diets have already qualified potatoes, rice, beans, grains, corn as bad for those who want to lose weight. This new 'discovery' proves that one can lose weight as long as you eat these veggies cold. We are already knew that each of the above reduces your hunger and fills you up quicker than other foods. But the latest news is that it also helps you burn fat faster. This food is rich in fiber and it keep you blood sugar under control - two factors extremely important if you want to lose weight.
You also lose weight because this resistant starch forces your body to stop using the carbs for fuel and, instead, it burns the fat in your body.
How can you obtain this starch? Easy. Cool your food in the fridge before eating it, and eat it cold. Do not rewarm the food because you lose the resistant starch. In other words - salads made from the foods above is the solution.
Since I have lived in Turkey for 3 years, I have also learn to replace flour with starch whenever needed.
One such meal a day should help you burn fat - given that you do not increase the quantity of food intake during the day but only replace a meal with such a dish.
So, let's make a list of foods that, while eaten cold, can help you lose that extra weight:
* corn * rice and brown rice * yams * slightly green bananas * potatoes * beans * starch
Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.
