"Unlocking Weight Loss Potential: The Power of Resistant Starch and Fiber"
TL;DR
A small study found that taking a resistant starch supplement before meals led to weight loss, possibly due to its impact on gut health. The supplement, which costs about $1 per serving, resulted in an average weight loss of 6.2 pounds over eight weeks. Resistant starch is also naturally found in cooled cooked carbs like pasta, potatoes, and rice, and may help reduce blood sugar spikes. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with irritable bowel syndrome.
