Are you looking for a way to lose weight without having to exercise more? If so, you might want to add more whole-grain foods to your diet. New studies show a diet high in whole-grain foods can replace up to 30 minutes of walking per day. How does this work? It seems that eating whole-grain foods lowers you total caloric intact and, at the same time, speeds up your metabolism.
Key Takeaways:
- Switching to whole-grain foods might help keep your weight in check as much as a brisk 30-minute daily walk would, a new study suggests.
- Whole grains seem to both lower the number of calories your body absorbs during digestion and speed metabolism, explained study author J. Philip Karl.
- He’s a nutrition scientist who did the research while a Ph.D. student in nutrition at Tufts University in Boston.
