Introduction

This video discusses eleven resistant starches that can help block calorie absorption and contribute to belly fat loss. The speaker explains the process of heating and cooling certain foods to enhance their resistant starch properties and details how this impacts metabolism and appetite.

Key Takeaways

• Resistant starches block carbohydrate and calorie absorption. They achieve this by reorganizing their molecular structure during the heating and cooling process, making them indigestible in the small intestine.
• The video lists eleven resistant starches: peas, potatoes, sushi rice, brown rice, pasta (especially lentil or chickpea pasta), plant-based protein powder (like Sunwarrior), tortillas, oats, sweet potatoes, and unripe/green bananas.
• Heating and cooling (and sometimes reheating) is crucial. This process transforms the starch's structure, maximizing the resistant starch effect. Multiple heating and cooling cycles can enhance the effect.
• Several foods retain resistant starch properties even after reheating: However, some foods like rice require added moisture during reheating to maintain their structure.
• Benefits extend beyond calorie blocking: Resistant starches offer microbiome benefits, improved insulin sensitivity, appetite suppression, and increased satiety.
