Whole Grains Are Better For You

Switching from refined white starches to whole grains is a good way to start losing weight. Studies show that white starches cause an insulin deficiency which can lead to diabetes and weight gain.
It's really hard to quit cold turkey. I am not going to lie. I still eat white starches but I limit the amount I eat. I only eat flour tortillas twice a week. I used to eat them 1-2 times a day. I no longer eat white bread. It's all whole grain for me. The same goes for rice...only whole grain rice is allowed in this house. I've also switched to whole grain pasta. I actually think it tastes better, but my husband and son don't like it much.
Making even just a few changes will benefit not only your health but also your waistline. So go ahead and start making the changes today. You'll be glad you did!
