The Starch that Makes You Lean and Healthy

“Dr. Hyman, I took a quick glance at your Eat Fat, Get Thin plan and saw that you recommend potato starch as part of the diet,” writes this week’s house call. “I thought we were supposed to avoid carbs?“

One of the main reasons why resistant starch improves health, is that it feeds the friendly bacteria in the intestine and increases production of short-chain fatty acids like butyrate.

Okay, Dr. Hyman... I got the potato starch you recommended and am trying it. I've also been on the Ketogenic program for about 2 months. I've lost 16 lbs. so far and my stomach had shrunk a lot. I'm trying the Bob's Redmill unmodified potato starch to see if I can get through some of the plateaus faster. I am 60 yrs. old and decided this year before attempting to lose weight, I would actually study nutrition and the reason I became overweight and ended up with Type 2 Diabetes. The Ketogenic program has gotten rid of my T2 Diabetes and also realize I can never go back to eating sugar and refined carbs again. Thank you for the potato starch tip and I'll keep you posted.

If you observe some of the Japanese ancient meal preparation, they eat their starch cold (for example: in sushi), eat their fish raw (don't heat up the omega3-6 fatty acids) and eat fermented foods like Natto, Miso, Katsuobushi, etc This is one of the things that I find people don't talk a lot, that our modern world with industrialized food and modern cooking methods turn the food unhealthy. A big example of it is dairy, which is heated and homogenized losing their proper structure and nutrition and doing a lot of harm to the human body.

Thank you DR Hyman for this information. BUT, I am Type A blood and potatoes are not recommended for my type. It is the lectins in the potato that poke holes in my gut and cause the damage. Yes potato starch does create short chain fatty acids in the gut but for type A's it is at the risk of more of the very damage we are trying to prevent. I suggest guar gum as a good alternative for potato starch. No lectins to cause damage. Keep up the good work doctor. Dr Jerry, retired ND.

[@boondoggle4820]

Thank you! I knew that I didn’t feel the insulin spikes that I normally feel after eating high glycemic carbs after eating potatoes, and that I actually felt better after eating them with a balanced meal of say baked fish and leafy greens. I eat a baked sweet potato at least once a week, and I feel great after eating my meal that includes it, and I’ve been dropping a ton of weight, all of which is the opposite that I feel after eating sugar and processed complex carbs. This explains exactly why, and why baked potatoes are fine to eat on a lower carb diet.

[@MikeCola]

One of the most important benefits of eating resistant starches is it feeds the good bacteria in your colon and is responsible for the production of butyrate (Butyrate is a type of fatty acid that helps your gut work right.). Butyrate is like the superfood of the colon. Increasing butyrate levels has many health benefits. It promotes cell health in the colon, reduces inflammation, and decreases your risk for colon cancer. Having good gut flora (gut bacteria) is so important for your health.

Is Bran resistant starch. Used it for years.. A couple of spoonfuls helps bowel function. Often like magic. And keeps you full so you don't eat to much. The problem is it's not as readily available anymore. Stores have dropped it because it's low cost. They tend to carry higher prices items and dropped the lower ones and whole foods isn't doing bulk cause of the pandemic. Don't even remember if they still carried it. It was so inexpensive.

I do not know your diet but have you eliminated sugar including fruits which many people do not associate with sugar content? Sure fruits have vitamins and minerals but you can obtain those from other sources without dealing with the downside of fruit consumption which is the sugar content which when consumed stimulates insulin production which means no fat burning by the body during a period of insulin production. This is why intermittent fasting is recommended by many nutritionist if you are trying to lose weight because it gives the body a period of little to no insulin production and promotes fat burning even while sleeping. Also are you getting enough B1? Both of these helped me achieve my weight loss goal.

[@blchase6748]

Found on another website: Type 3 (RS3) is a specific type of starch that has been boiled and cooled, such as potatoes or rice. When these starches hit a certain temperature and then cool, the water (hence, boiling vs. baking or frying) turns gelatinous. There’s an exchange process going on there, called retro-gradation, which makes the starch indigestible.

Nani S, I liked the potato starch. It actually worked. I must admit haven’t used in a while, they no longer sell in the store I go to. So I’ve been using just a teaspoon of vinegar and chase it with something and no more gas after my coffee or smoothie. YW. Thanks for asking.
