Resistant Starch Foods: Newest Craze After Release of Two New Diet Books

 Two new diet books, The Skinny Carbs Diet and The Carb Lovers Diet, have been recently released, and both books promote the benefits of eating resistant starch foods to help with weight loss. It seems resistant starch foods are difficult for the body to digest, which enables greater fat burn and helps one feel fuller with less calorie intake.

From the editors of Health magazine, The Carb Lovers Diet: Eat What You Love, Get Slim For Life, co-authored by Ellen Kunes and Frances Largeman-Roth, consists of two phases. Phase 1 eases the dieter back into the world of satisfying meals and snacks, while losing weight and belly fat. On Phase 2, dieters can eat generous portions of their favorite foods while continuing to lose weight.

The ability to lose weight while eating carbs comes from knowing how and when to eat resistant starch (RS) foods.

The Skinny Carbs Diet, subtitled Eat Pasta, Potatoes, and More! Use the power of resistant starch to make your favorite foods fight fat and beat cravings, is authored by David Feder RD, David Bonom, and the editors of Prevention magazine, also praises the benefits of resistant starch foods.

The Skinny Carbs Diet is the first cookbook of its kind, teaching dieters how to capitalize on eating healthy fat burning resistant starch foods for speedy weight loss.

Some of the more common resistant starch foods are unripe bananas, potatoes, corn, yams, whole wheat pasta, pearl barley, whole grains which have not had the husk cracked, navy beans, whole oats, brown rice and lentils.
