Nutrition and fitness experts recommend a simple trick that allows you to enjoy carbohydrates without feeling guilty during weight loss.
Experts have discovered that letting foods like pasta, rice, and potatoes cool completely before eating them helps with weight loss thanks to the formation of a special type of starch known as "resistant starch."

Fitness expert Kevin David Raile explains that resistant starch differs from regular carbohydrates because it is digested slowly, provides sustained energy, helps stabilize blood sugar levels, enhances the feeling of fullness for longer periods, and aids in weight control.
Raile points out that professional athletes, especially football players, have relied on this method for years by consuming cold pasta salads or chilled rice to benefit from this health advantage, maintain stable energy, and speed up recovery.
Raile also clarifies that reheating cooled carbohydrates does not diminish the properties of resistant starch, making it a practical option for preparing meals in advance without losing the benefits.
This view is supported by Dr. Chris Van Tulkens, an infectious disease specialist, who explains that regular starch quickly converts to sugar in the body, whereas resistant starch reaches the large intestine where it is slowly digested, reducing blood sugar spikes, contributing to satiety, and improving gut health by producing beneficial fatty acids.
In short, harnessing the benefits of resistant starch can help achieve weight loss goals while maintaining stable energy and better gut health, making it a smart trick to enjoy carbohydrates without the usual negative effects.
