Eat 40 Gram Of This Carb To Shrink Visceral Fat

Sources and Preparation00:03:52

The most effective form is RS3, created through retrogradation by cooking starchy foods like rice, oats, and potatoes and then cooling them in the fridge. Alternatively, supplements like unmodified potato starch or high amylose maize can be used.

The Daily Protocol00:06:43

To avoid GI distress, ramp up to 40g of resistant starch daily over four weeks. Take it on an empty stomach or before your largest meal. Avoid mixing with hot liquids, as heat destroys its structure.

Optimization and Results00:08:15

For maximum effectiveness, pair resistant starch with a probiotic containing Bifidobacterium, an optimized Mediterranean diet, and strength training. This approach helps shift the microbiome to ensure you are a 'high responder' capable of significant fat loss.

The Dangers of Visceral Fat00:00:00

Visceral fat is metabolically active, wrapping around organs and causing inflammation linked to serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Many people are 'skinny fat' (TOFI), looking thin but harboring dangerous levels of this internal fat.

Resistant starch bypasses digestion in the small intestine and ferments in the colon, producing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate and propionate. These signal the body to release stored fat and replicate the appetite-suppressing effects of GLP-1.
