“Forget Atkins diets” say the scientists, “actually to lose weight you need to eat carbohydrates”. For years, dieters blamed themselves for every bite of bread or pasta they put in their mouths. But as a new book claims, “sinning” by consuming carbohydrates may be the secret to losing weight after all.
The book entitled “The Carbohydrate Lover’s Diet” has already become a bestseller in America and is about to conquer Europe. In this the opinion is developed that bread, pasta, pizza are the right ingredients to get the perfect body. Resistant starch, which is found in large amounts in foods such as bananas, oats, black rice and potatoes, has the power to suppress hunger, boost metabolism, improve mood, reduce stress levels and so on. to accelerate weight loss. According to the authors of the book, scientists from the University of Colorado, there is evidence that certain foods, rich in carbohydrates, can “bridle” the feeling of hunger. In the study carried out by the researchers, in 4,451 volunteers, it emerged that the thinnest of them ate more carbohydrates, while the fattest ones consumed less.
“By eating a low-carb, high-protein diet, one can lose weight. But it’s not a healthy diet and that’s certainly not a long-term solution,” Elizabeth Weiselbaum, from the British Nutrition Foundation, told the Daily Mail newspaper. As Ms. Weiselbaum argues, a diet rich in carbohydrates can only add pounds to someone if they are not careful with the amounts they consume.
“I’m glad that finally someone is defending the consumption of carbohydrates. Atkins diets work. But in the long term, cutting them out of the diet forces the metabolism to use a different process, which can be harmful,” said Anna Raymond of the British Dietetic Association.
