PURPOSE: A usage method of extruded starch-based complexes for losing weight is provided to minimize a harmful effect of resistant starch or hydrocolloid in food. CONSTITUTION: Extruded starch-based complexes contain starch including more than 70%(w/w) of resistant starch, and hydrocolloid in a ratio of 70:30. The starch is hydrothermally processed high amylose corn starch. The hydrocolloid is a non-ionic gum selected from the group consisting of guar gum, konjac, locust bean gum, and tara gum. The starch-based complexes additionally contain 10-25%(w/w) oil.
