But did you realize that certain a.m. choices can crank up your fat-burning even more? The key: eating a breakfast that's high in Resistant Starch (RS). Found in foods like bananas and oats, RS actually signals your body to use fat for energy. >Start your day skinny with these fat-blasting meals from Health magazine's new book, “The CarbLovers Diet.” (Credit: Getty Images) |

| Choose a banana that's tinged with a little green for even more Resistant Starch. Once the fruit ripens, the starches in it turn to sugar, and the amount of Resistant Starch it contains drops. An underripe banana has 12.5 grams of RS (enough to take care of the minimum 10 grams of RS daily that's recommended in “The CarbLovers Diet”); a ripe one has 4.7 grams. (Credit: iStock Photo) |
