The BS About Beans, Resistant Starch, And Weight Loss

Check out my book: http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Weight-Loss-And-Vitality.html

Do beans and legumes really give you "free" calories?

Plant-based advocates, particularly Joel Fuhrman, have spread the idea that you should eat lots of beans and legumes because they're high in resistant starch.

Resistant starch, their line goes, does not get utilized for energy like other types of starch, which means that a lot of a bean's caloric content passes through you without getting absorbed.

Sounds pretty good, right?

In this video we investigate this idea and whether or not it's worth adding beans to a raw diet to promote weight loss.
