Episode notes
Starch and Weight Loss
- Starch can be beneficial for some, while others thrive without it, especially those with gut dysbiosis.
- Individual reactions vary, so observe your body's response to starch through metrics like bowel movements, libido, and mood.
Dietary Adjustments for Starch Intolerance
- If avoiding starch, increase fat intake for satiety and to prevent the body from converting carbs to fat.
- Increase consumption of fruits, dried fruits, fruit juices, and smoothies to compensate for reduced starch.
Concentrated Fruit Sugars
- If struggling with liquid-dense fruits, consider dried fruit, honey, or white sugar for concentrated sugars.
- Ensure adequate salt intake and experiment with juice concentrates or cooking down juice to reduce water content.
