Results: Resistant Starch
For those unfamiliar, resistant starch is a carbohydrate form that resists digestion in the small intestine and then ferments in the large intestine. It acts like a dietary fiber, nourishing good gut bacteria, aids in managing blood sugar levels, helps reverse insulin resistance, and it promotes a feeling of fullness without adding as many digestible calories.
