According to a new study of approximately 15000 people, participants in the study who ate at least two servings daily of high- fiber whole grain breads and cereals were fifty percent less likely to gain weight, compared to those women in the study group who ate refined carbohydrates without fiber. It was shown that the high fiber good carbohydrates burn more calories during digesting and make you feel fuller earlier and longer than eating refined bad carbohydrates. High fiber breads, cereals, pastas and rice all reduce the output of fat-storing insulin, which results in less weight gained, and more fat calories burned. Here is yet another example of how eating good carbohydrates can help you lose weight.

Most vegetable, fruits,beans, legumes, nets whole-grain cereals and breads have a low glycemic index. These can be considered the good carbohydrates. Your body converts these good carbohydrate foods into glucose, which is slowly processed in the intestinal tract and absorbed into the bloodstream.

Since this glucose is absorbed gradually, it only triggers a moderate, sustained rise in the insulin produced by the pancreas. This even level of blood insulin can process the blood sugar into the body cells slowly to use for energy production. In other words, there is no rapid filling of the fat cells full of extra sugar caused by the high levels of insulin and glucose, which causes excessive weight gain. Also, there are no rapid shifts in high or low levels of glucose or insulin, causing excess hunger and binge carbohydrate eating.
