Harper says that fad diets often tell you to banish certain foods from your diet, but this mindless cutting down may not be of much help. So you can include your favourite bread while you have those sandwiches, you can have pasta, you can have eggs or meat- all in quantity and yes, in the right proportion. This super-high carb diet professes an inclusion of whole grains in your diet. Also Read - Weight Loss: 5 things beginners should keep in mind

Why are whole grains important for your diet?

Remember your dietician asked you to include oats upma or flax seeds as a part of your diet? There was a reason. Oats and flax seeds are rich source of whole grains and these are important for your body.  Whole grains are a must-have for your body. This is so because consuming whole grains help your body to fight chronic diseases and keeps your heart healthy.

Including dietary fibre from whole grain is important for smooth bowel function as well as helps you to keep weight in check. Certain whole grains are especially good for your weight loss regime. Here are some of them:

-Brown rice
– Oatmeal
– Flax seeds
– Unhulled barley

Apart from keeping you away from chronic illnesses, these good carbs help you with a high-satiety value. This in turn, will help you on eliminating those hunger pangs and hence, you will eat less. Hence, try and include good carbs in your diet, and lose weight happily!
