Dr. Brian McDonough on Cutting Calories, Losing Weight
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- We all know that you lose weight by cutting calories and we also know quite well it’s very difficult to cut calories for one major reason…hunger. But there might be a very simple solution out there and it’s worth looking into.
According to a Penn State report in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the key to losing weight and maintaining heart health could be by taking advantage of healthy grains.
Researchers found that those who trimmed calories and increased their whole grain intake shed more belly fat and lowered their blood levels of C - reactive protein (or C.R.P.).
Why is C.R.P. important?
It is a marker of chronic, low-level inflammation in the blood vessels, and both abdominal fat and C.R.P., in excess, are linked to heart attack and stroke.
So, what are some common whole grains? Oatmeal, brown rice and barley are some common whole grains.
You need to avoid refined grains and other products made from flour. Rather than refined grains (like white bread and other products made from white flour), look for products with whole grain listed prominently on the label.
