Check out this excellent 3.5-minute video by Dr Michael Greger that doesn't mention resistant starch, but that's what it is he's talking about. Watch how beans not only blunt a BG spike as part of a meal side-by-side with a high-GI carb meal, but persists to blunt BG spikes in subsequent meals or even sugar water, even into the next day.
Incidentally, I have confirmation from some N=1s out there that a ketogenic dieter can remain in ketosis and have zero BG spike consuming up to 30 grams of resistant starch (Bob's Red Mill Potato Starch) per day either along with a Z/VLC meal, or all by itself stirred in water. Accordingly, LCers are just plain ignorant and wrong about Resistant STARCH! (deploy garlic necklaces and crucifixes).
DESCRIPTION: The so-called "lentil effect" or "second meal effect" describes the remarkable effect of beans to help control blood sugar levels hours or even the next day after consumption.
But what about the gas? Check out my blog post Beans and Gas: Clearing the air (http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/12/05/...).
The propionate video I reference is Fawning Over Flora (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fawni...) with a follow-up Boosting Good Bacteria in the Colon Without Probiotics (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boost...).
