Here's something that most people don't know. Your body already produces its own GLP1. Fiber and resistant starch. This specific combo helps to feed the good gut bacteria. I want you to think of it like fertilizer for your microbiome. So the best foods are chia seeds or zen basil seeds, raw carrots or raw beets. Asparagus has some good resistant starch. Green plantains as well. These are going to be your best bet. Kind of lower sugar, higher fiber types of resistant starch combos.
