Weight Loss Tips For Moms - Carbs That Help You Lose Weight There is new research that indicates that some foods high in carbs contain a nutrient called "resistant starch" that can help in the fight against excess weight.

Studies by scientists at the University of Colorado show that meals that incorporate foods high in these resistant starches can increase fat burn by 20% to 25%. Now remember calories still count, so when creating your menus keep this in mind. Following is a list with special instructions if needed.

Don't have any ideas on how to eat potatoes, brown rice or pasta cooked and cooled. Resistant starch is thought to force our bodies to burn our own fat for energy.

Now don't go crazy and start eating all the potatoes and pasta you can.

Resistant starch keeps us feeling full longer and stops cravings.
