Resistant carbohydrates are types of dietary fibers that resist digestion in the small intestine and reach the colon intact. They include substances like resistant starch, inulin, and certain types of soluble fiber. These carbohydrates can promote gut health by serving as prebiotics, providing nourishment for beneficial gut bacteria, and may help regulate blood sugar levels and improve digestive health. Foods high in resistant carbohydrates include legumes, whole grains, and some fruits and vegetables.

Is is a good idea to lower carbohydrates to lose weight in all cases?
If you are on an intense fitness regimen a number of carbohydrates will be needed. Overall, however, reducing your daily intake of carbohydrates, particularly refined processed carbohydrates, is good for weight loss and health. Refined processed carbohydrates are a major cause of weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, heart disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes type 2, and other diet related diseases. Too many carbohydrates, particularly refined processed carbohydrates, can produce insulin resistance. Hence, our present epidemics of obesity and diabetes type 2.If you have become significantly insulin resistant (many people are insulin resistant without being aware of it), it can reach the stage where you will need to count carbohydrates and calories in order to lose weight. In other words, people who have become very insulin resistant can no longer lose weight by just counting calories or by just counting carbohydrates, even though both or either method worked for them in the past (when they were less insulin resistant). If you are unsure what refined processed carbohydrates are, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions..

What do potatoes store carbohydrates as?
Potatoes store carbohydrates as amylose (starch)Amylose is a linear polymer made up of D-glucose units.This polysaccharide is one of the two components of starch, making up approximately 20-30% of the structure. The other component is amylopectin, which makes up 70-80% of the structure.[1]Because of its tightly packed structure, amylose is more resistant to digestion than other starch molecules and is therefore an important form of resistant starch, which has been found to be an effective prebiotic.[2]
