Diets high in whole grains help achieve significant weight loss, not to mention reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but they also help get rid of that stubborn belly fat.
Penn State researchers divided a group of 50 obese adults into 2 groups. One was told to focus on foods that had whole grains as the first ingredient and the second group was told to eat refined grains.
Both groups were also encouraged to participate in moderate physical activity.
At the end of the 12 week study, both groups lost an average of 8-11 pounds but the group that ate the whole grain saw a significantly higher amount of weight loss in the abdominal region.
