Resistant Starch

A special type of carbohydrate that acts like fibre to support fullness and weight loss.

Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine and acts like fibre. It helps you feel fuller for longer and may boost fat burning. It is found in cooled potatoes, green bananas, and legumes.

Resistant starch escapes digestion in the small intestine and is fermented in the colon, producing short-chain fatty acids that increase GLP-1 and PYY secretion, promoting satiety and reducing energy intake.

Adding resistant starch sources to your diet is a simple dietary strategy that supports weight loss by naturally curbing appetite and improving metabolic health.
