Carbs for weight control shouldn’t be surprising because the slimmest populations in the world eat lots of carbs. Look at Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines all eat lots of carbs but have low obesity rates. Research suggests that people will not eat over 4 pounds of food per day to feel satisfied. 4 pounds of potatoes provide 1279 calories. It’s not enough to cause weight gain and it\u2019s low enough to induce weight loss. However if you process the potatoes into potato chips, just 16 ounces of chips provides 2500 calories. With potato chips you can easily exceed the amount of calories necessary to cause weight gain, but not with plain potatoes. Corn is another high carb food, which provides 1552 calories for 4 pounds of it. But making corn chips out of it would get you 9392 calories for 4 pounds. So it\u2019s the processing of the carbs that make the fattening not the carbs themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
