Are green plantains good for weight loss?
My wife and I are on a low-carb diet to manage our weight. We occasionally find green plantains at the market. Are green plantains good for weight loss, or do they have too many carbs?

Yes, green plantains are great for weight loss, but only if you don't deep-fry them into banana chips! If you boil or roast them, the resistant starch will keep you full for hours. Just keep the oil bottle far away, and you're good.
I am quite new to dieting and I recently heard about using raw banana or green plantain for weight loss. I am a bit hesitant to try it. Does anyone know if we should eat it as a replacement for rice, or should we cook it as a side dish?
Honestly, green plantains are surprisingly good for dieting. My mom started making raw banana stir-fry instead of potatoes, and it actually keeps me full during my long lectures. It is a pretty solid, cheap hack for weight loss.
I have been using green plantains in my meal prep for a few months now. They contain resistant starch which is great for your gut health and keeps your insulin spikes low. It has definitely helped me cut down my cravings and shed some fat.

Green plantains are very cheap in local vegetable markets, making them a very practical option for a weight-loss diet. You don't need to buy expensive imported oats or quinoa to lose weight. Just boil these plantains at home, they work great and save you a lot of money.
