If you're craving carbohydrates but watching your weight, go for the chilled variety. When foods like potatoes and rice are cooked, then cooled, resistant starch is formed. "This form of starch won't raise your blood sugar and insulin levels as much or as rapidly as other carbohydrates," says Hope Warshaw, dietician and author of Eat Out, Eat Right. Sushi, cold pasta or potato salads make for light but satisfying lunch options. Just remember to go easy on the mayo!
