Carbs that don\u2019t make you fat. It\u2019s not carbs that make you gain weight. It\u2019s processed food. Including processed carbs that can cause weight gain. it takes about 6 pounds of potatoes to provide one day worth of calories. But only 16 ounces of potato chips to provide a day worth of calories. Typically, people won\u2019t eat 6 pounds of food so the potatoes can\u2019t cause weight gain. But, most people can eat 16 ounces of potato chips in the day very easily so it\u2019s the processing of the food that contributes to obesity. Not the car if they are in there hole unprocessed form.<\/em> ##drshintani<\/a>##weightgain<\/a>##obesity<\/a> ##naturalweightloss<\/a> ##weightloss<\/a> ##carbohydrates<\/a> #greenscreen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I hear that carbs make you fat, it\u2019s clear to me that this person doesn\u2019t understand carbs. Contrary to popular belief, carbs in their unprocessed form like in apples, rice and oatmeal really cannot help you gain weight. You would need to eat 9.1 pounds of apples, 5 pounds of rice, or 8.9 pounds of cooked oatmeal to reach the recommended calorie intake of about 2500 calories which is a rough estimate of how many calories an average active woman or inactive man needs per day to maintain their body weight. People won\u2019t eat that much food so they can\u2019t gain weight on these foods. In contrast, just 1.3 pounds of a large sweet muffin would provide the same 2500 calories. The point being, it’s not the carbs themselves that make you gain weight but rather the processed foods that include processed carbs that are high in calorie density and low in nutrient value that causes obesity. Therefore, incorporating unprocessed carbs into your diet can be a healthy and sustainable way to meet your daily calorie needs without worrying about weight gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
