Choosing carbohydrates

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

Carbohydrates are not alike and each kind has a distinct effect on health and weight loss. Fiber likewise plays an important role.

Harvard researchers found that among 74,000 women, those who ate more fiber-rich grains–such as oatmeal and whole-grain breakfast cereals–gained less weight over time than women who got the least fiber in their diets.

In addition, women with the highest fiber intake were half as likely as those with the lowest intake to become obese over 12 years. In contrast, diets heavy in refined-grain products like white bread and pasta were linked to greater weight gain over time.

Find your ideal body weight and relate it with your eating habits and lifestyle.
