A new message… Millions of people are currently trying to control their weight by counting carbs: It's not enough to do the math; you also need to consider vocabulary.

New research shows what many health experts have long said. It's not carbohydrates, per se, that lead to weight gain, but the type of carbs eaten. Their research shows that people who ate more refined and processed foods, such as white bread and white rice, had more belly fat. UMKHABA !! AKA UMKHABARISTO!

University researchers find that middle-aged people can successfully avoid middle-aged spread by eating a high-carbohydrate diet -- as long as those carbs are fiber-rich, unprocessed foods such as fruit, vegetables, legumes, and unrefined bread.

Diet Changes Can Alter Gut Bacteria, Study Says

"Now that everybody is talking about counting carbs, many people believe that carbohydrates are the enemy," says study researcher Katherine Tucker, Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. "But the truth is very simple: It's the type of carbs you eat that makes a difference. You need to eat more whole foods and less refined foods."

 

 

 

Different studies

The first study, people eating the greatest amount of white bread and other highly refined foods gained the most belly fat, while those eating the typical "meat-and-potatoes" gained the most overall weight, but it was more evenly distributed around their body than just settling around the midsection.

The new study confirms those findings, but also stresses an even more important message. To not gain excess weight during the years, focus on a diet that's rich in unrefined carbs and fibers such as "whole" foods like fruit, vegetables, legumes, and low-fat dairy and nonwhite bread. In both studies, Tucker says most people following this eating plan -- also said to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and other conditions -- typically gained no weight, or had such little weight gain that it was insignificant !
