Popular diets like Atkins and South Beach have tricked us into thinking that carbs are the enemy and hence have led us to become a nation plagued with “carbophobia.” We’re severely affected.

However, The CarbLovers Diet—from the editors of Health—is a book based on a study conducted at the University of Colorado Health Science Center for Human Nutrition, which reveals a surprising side to the anti-carb craze. The book suggests that by increasing your intake of resistant starch carbs, you’ll burn and shrink fat cells, curb cravings, regulate blood sugar, and your lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

So what are these magical resistant starch carbs? A few include whole-grain pasta, sweet potatoes, and bananas. Go get yourself The CarbLovers Diet and start making healthy (yet not self-depriving) changes for life. What are you waiting for? Eat up!
