Hi Cathy,


I am new to the board, but not South Beach.

Well, I'm glad you came out from lurking to share that.

Keep it cool
In cooked starchy foods, resistant starch is created during cooling. Cooking triggers starch to absorb water and swell, and as it slowly cools, portions of the starch become crystallized into the form that resists digestion. Cooling either at room temperature or in the refrigerator will raise resistant starch levels. Just don’t reheat. That breaks up the crystals, causing resistant starch levels to plummet.


Great news!
