"Starches for Weight Loss: The Surprising Connection with Carbs"

Not all carbs are bad for weight loss. Whole grains, fruits, veggies, beans, and legumes are rich in fiber, which helps you feel fuller longer and nourishes your gut bacteria. B vitamins play important roles in energy metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and fat metabolism. Eating carbs can increase serotonin levels, which can act as an appetite suppressant and support weight loss. Bread, pasta, rice, beans, and fruit are "bad" carbs that can be eaten in moderation to help reach weight-loss goals.
