8 Reasons Why Carbohydrates Help Lose Weight

A recent study found that the weakest participants were those who ate the most carbohydrates and the fattest - the least.

Building a diet with the right type and number of carbohydrates can ensure the maintenance of a slim figure for life.
 


When specifying the correct type of carbohydrates , those contained in insoluble fiber are meant . Their group includes cereals, bran, wholemeal flour, cabbage, peas, green beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cucumber peel, peppers, apples, carrots.
 


Hundreds of studies by universities and research centers show the positive effects of following such a diet. Experts say that in this way less food is consumed, cholesterol is lower, a person is charged with energy, burns more calories ...
 

 
Here are eight evidence-based reasons why it's important to include carbs in the menu of any lady who wants to look elegant.

 

Carbohydrate consumption achieves a slim figure


A recent study found that the weakest participants in it are those who eat the most carbohydrates and, accordingly, the fullest - the least. The researchers concluded that the chances of losing weight and maintaining a slim figure were most successful when 64%, or 361 g, of your daily calorie intake came from carbohydrates .
 


This is equivalent to a few baked potatoes, as exemplified by the team of nutrition and dietetics specialists.
 


Most low-carb diets limit carbohydrates to less than 30% of calories per day, and sometimes less than 30 grams per day.
  

Carbohydrates satiate the appetite


Many foods full of carbohydrates have a powerful, appetite suppressant effect. They are even more saturating than proteins and fats. Carbohydrates contained in insoluble fiber satisfy the appetite because they are absorbed more slowly by the digestive system than other foods, which leads to a feeling of satiety in the abdomen and brain.
 


A study by the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom found that the intake of fiber by participants leads to reduced appetite and as a result of consuming 10% fewer calories, ie. about 150-200 calories the next day.

 

Carbohydrates "curb" hunger


According to nutrition experts, when a person stops a low-carbohydrate diet and replaces it with a new diet that includes a large amount of fiber and insoluble fiber, within 2 days the problem of insatiable appetite can disappear.
 


Fiber has an appetite-satisfying effect and allows you to eat a variety of and especially highly desirable foods that were previously limited. This type of carbohydrate also increases the levels of satiety hormones , which signal the brain to trigger metabolism and stop the feeling of hunger.

 

Carbohydrates control blood sugar The


the right combination of carbohydrates is the best way to control blood sugar and prevent diabetes. A study by the US Department of Agriculture's Nutrition Research Center found that people who ate foods high in insoluble fiber could lower their blood sugar after a meal and their insulin response by up to 38 percent.
 


Carbohydrates need to be combined properly so as not to cause a sharp rise in blood sugar. For example, instead of eating white rice, switch to brown rice and combine it with beans, corn, or other high-fiber foods to keep your blood sugar levels better balanced than you might be on a low-carb diet.
