Quotes to ponder:

"Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that doesn’t get digested in the small intestine and instead reaches the large intestine intact."

"Incorporating resistant starch into your diet can help you burn more fat, feel fuller longer, and improve your gut health."

"It’s found naturally in foods like green bananas, oats, beans, and cooked and cooled rice and potatoes."
