Too much white bread makes you belly fat?

This is an automatically translated article.

Carbohydrates are not the cause of belly fat accumulation. However, the amount of carbs we eat from white bread or rice too much will become the cause of belly fat.

1. Tests to help categorize common eating patterns

Some studies have shown that people tend to consider carb as the enemy that causes belly fat accumulation and eliminate most of the carb in the diet to reduce waist circumference and body weight.
However, carbs from each food group have different functions, so choosing carb-containing foods is a problem that makes it difficult for people who want to lose belly fat.
Raw foods are healthier than processed foods. The processing that took place changed the original properties of the food, and added some spices or additives that made the calculated figures need to be re-checked.

2. Bread makes you fat when you eat too much

In the first studies to take place, subjects with rapid accumulation of belly fat often consumed white bread and foods through multi-step processing. In addition, a diet that increases meat and potatoes makes users face the risk of gaining weight but not focusing on belly fat that spreads throughout the body.
Research results are constantly being released to confirm that you need to establish a high carb diet, rich in natural unrefined fiber. To do this, you can use raw products or fruits and some nuts. You need to limit high-fat dairy products by looking for skim or low-fat milk. Especially white bread should be limited because they can make your belly fat quickly increase.
In studies on creating a scientific eating plan have shown positive results on the health of participants. This eating plan results in a lower risk of cancer, heart disease and even better weight control. This really makes sense for middle-aged people because they are the most likely to gain weight.
However, the scientists note that this is not true for people whose diets provide the same number of calories. This study only makes sense for the group of subjects who eat starches, refined foods, and processed foods.... The more refined the food groups, the more it will make your belly bigger, for example. like bread that blooms after finishing the last step. It can be concluded that, raw, whole foods will limit the possibility of waist expansion 3 times more than refined foods.

3. Reassess sources of food that cause belly fat

Researchers always want you to better understand the use of carbs in the diet. They found evidence to make you believe that it is not necessary to completely eliminate carbs. You just need to get rid of the things that do not bring health benefits.
Many people when starting a diet are not provided with accurate information, causing false carb misunderstandings leading to mistakes in weight loss. The low-fat diet they're thinking of is eliminating bad carbs, not all, from the diet.
Similar to fat is a phrase that causes many objections to those who are overweight and obese, especially those who accumulate thick belly fat. However, fat is divided into saturated fat and unsaturated fat. On the one hand, saturated fat increases healthy metabolism and does not cause excess fat to accumulate, the other group of fats is stubborn, causing belly fat, thigh fat, causing unsightly beauty and putting us at risk. suffering from blood fat, heart disease....
In fact, studies have shown that the fiber we eat has good and bad types. They have a direct effect on insulin and a higher risk of heart disease in young people than bad fats are absorbed.

4. Judging from a different perspective

Sometimes foods rich in fiber help control body weight better. Fiber can make you feel full faster and longer, thereby reducing cravings and balancing a reasonable portion. However, they cause a low glycemic index, causing blood sugar to drop, causing insulin to rise. But you can't eat foods that raise the glycemic index from the starch group because they are the cause of weight gain and the risk of diabetes.
Fiber belongs to the group of vitamins and minerals, although the amount is small, it plays a large role. In fact, eating fiber brings a lot of benefits to the body such as weight loss, promoting easier digestion... However, the main disadvantage is lowering the glycemic index.
Most studies recommend eating from 35 g of fiber per day but we do the opposite to only eat about 12 g. The reason is that it is thought that limiting carbs in the omitted portion will quickly achieve the effect of reducing belly fat and other organs. Plus, if you're in the habit of consuming refined and processed products, you won't get much fiber from these food groups.
Try planning a menu that provides 50 - 75 g of fiber per day by increasing the amount of vegetables and fruits and some legumes. A small portion of the fiber you can also get from foods of animal origin. The most important thing is to give up the habit of eating refined, packaged or processed foods that contain preservatives.
In short, you can eat bread, but you should choose whole wheat bread instead of white bread to reduce the risk of quickly accumulating excess fat in the abdomen. In addition, eat more fruits and healthy fiber-rich foods to support effective weight loss.
