Can You Really Eat Bread and Pasta?

Have you ever tried to go on a no carb diet? Well I have several times and I failed no less than 48 hours into it. I have so much better luck eating resistant starches which are good carbs.

Resistant Starch is considered a weight-loss powerhouse because it does not get absorbed into the bloodstream or broken down into glucose. According to Prevention magazine,  leading the way with this high carb diet revolution, “Resistant starch is a type of dietary fiber naturally found in many carbohydrate-rich foods. … It gets its name because it ‘resists’ digestion in the body, and though this is true of many types of fiber, what makes resistant starch so special is the powerful impact it has on weight loss and overall health.”

List of resistant starch foods.

•bananas

•corn

•potatoes

•yams

•pasta

•pearl Barley

•whole grain bread

•navy beans

•oatmeal

Navy beans have the highest resistant starch at 9.8 grams (per 1/2 cup). Bananas are the second highest at 4.7 grams (1 medium); yams at 4.0 grams (per 1/2 cup), and potatoes at 3 grams (per 1/2 cup). Whole grain bread and oatmeal have the lowest resistant starch, 0.5 grams for bread, and 0.7 grams for oatmeal

I have been combining these foods with negative calorie foods and with the help of SlimMax I am never hungry. In my next post I will share my list of negative calorie foods. Here is a little hint .... they are really yummy and foods you look forward to eating.
