Carbs that help you lose weight

I've heard that there's scientific proof that pasta might actually boost your weight loss efforts. (Yes, you are reading this right). That's because when you cook and cool certain starchy foods
like pasta, potatoes and rice, a substance called resistant starch forms. Resistant starch is also
naturally found in foods like bananas, lentils, beans and whole grains like oats. Your body can't digest it because it acts like fiber, so eating it helps you feel full; it also encourages your body to
burn stored fat before turning to carbohydrates for fuel. Get your fill with vegetarian chili, bean
salads, and cold potato, pasta and rice salads.
