You’ve got it all wrong. A lot many foods that you consider fattening are actually appetite suppressants. Bananas, rice, potato… the ‘banned’ list is long – and it’s all wrong! It’s time to bust the list, and begin eating more of these waist-whittling champions.

Why? How?

Well, everyone knows that fibre is the buzzword as far as losing weight is concerned but most don’t really know that ALL fibre (like protein and fats too) are not created equal. You need to eat the right fibre – basically foods high in Resistant Starch (RS) – to blast off those pounds.

The USP of RS is that it passes through the digestive tract unchanged (does not get digested). That is why it fills you up, keeps those damaging cravings away, boosts the metabolism and helps you stay lean! Plus, a meal with RS also triggers a hormonal response to shut off hunger.

Here are some so-called fattening foods you NEED to eat:
