Weight Loss Carbs Study (2)
Weight Loss - Simple Carbs or Complex
Carbs?
Does the type of carbs, simple or complex, make a large difference to
weight loss? According to one big Weight
Loss Carbs Study - no, apart from for the massively overweight
among us.
Weight Loss Study (2)
However, in a sub-study with distinctly obese adults, the weight loss
was greater. In a smaller survey, carried out in Cambridge, UK, 46 overweight
adults with family history of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure
followed diets with either complex or simple carbohydrates for six months.
Weight Loss Study - Result
In the complex carbohydrate diet group, participants lost 4.3 kg, while
the weight loss was only 0.3 kg in the simple carbohydrate diet group.
Weight Loss Studies - Conclusion
Cereals, fruits, some vegetables, pasta and rice contain carbohydrates
in abundance and a healthy diet is based on these foods. Among all the
energy nutrients, complex carbohydrates have shown to be the most effective
in maintaining fullness after eating, which may also help in weight control,
the researchers report.
