The article correctly points out that substitution is the key but how many will truly understand the implications of a substitutive versus incremental approach to healthful eating? People hear 'whole grains are great' and they run out and down the jug size of so-called 'whole-grain' crackers? I'd like to see broader studies that look at combinations of interventions: maybe then we'd have messages we can really understand and implement.
Thanks for the good work, though!

cheerie o
me eat ancient grains...yum yum.
Oh, boy, fungus LOVES grains and sugar!
No thanks, I dropped twenty pounds staying away from "grains and sugar", processed foods and chemicals.
BTW,
The anti-fungal diet only took a few weeks.
Try it, it's easy.
Be well everybody!
Anti-fungal diet??
Yeah, no mushrooms.
BTW, go to www.knowthecause.com and find out about fungus. Very interesting.
I switched to whole wheat bread and brown rice years ago, and avoid white potatos for the most part. I wish someone would tell my belly fat that it's not supposed to be there.
Yeah mine too, only I've been eating nothing but whole grains my entire life. My mother wouldn't have been caught dead with white bread or rice in our house. I can't help but wonder though, what I might look like now had it been otherwise.
How is it that Asian people eat rice at every meal and are thin as rails?
Tony: same with people in India. I lived there for 4 months, loved their food!! Never saw brown rice, only white.....never saw whole wheat bread either, only white. And most of them are very thin!!!. I think the difference is that Indians and Asians don't eat as much junkfood as westerners do, like chips, crackers, sugar drinks, or red meat. I love all those things....but I would imagine that if I cut those things out of my diet, then white vs. brown rice wouldn't really make any difference because I'd be thin, regardless of which rice I ate.
That's true (said as I throw the Almond Joy wrapper in the trash). It's not the amount of whole grains, vegetables, etc. It's the potato chips and fries, the lack of movement and the quantity of food (my god, Thanksgiving is coming).
Scrimminy - unfortunately diabetes is very high in India. I learned this from my daughter who is dating an Indian and his sister is a physician. She is upset that her ancestral country is so naive. They may not be fat but they are diabetic.
Tony, I wonder if the fish and veg's counterbalance the rice? Or else they are very active.
"However, eating lots of whole grains didn't have the same benefits if people also consumed a lot of refined grains as well. Those who ate more than four servings of refined grains per day did not show improvements in their visceral fat volumes even if they also consumed whole grains, McKeown said."
So basically what they "discovered" was that the people who ate less calories lost more fat than the ones who ate more calories. Wow, let me write that down.
lmao i too just love studies with the DUH factor like this. That study is right up there with the one that says " a new study shows women eat more chocolate then men." Ya think
I'll take journalists seriously when they stop using "also" and "as well" in the same sentence.
You should cease being so critical and just stop...... ;-)
Gotta love those whole grains!
For most people, eating wheat simply leads to weight gain. And if you have Type O blood, you especially should avoid wheat. In fact if you do you will lose weight.
All these articles of weight loss "advice" has helped me to gain 44 more pounds to my smoking cessation weight gain since I tried it. There's only two ways to get rid of this;
1. Diet
2. Exercise
Thank You.
If you put it in soil and it doesn't grow, it isn't whole grain. Avoid what are not really whole grains, period.
Whole grain rice tastes yucky and so does whole wheat bread. They both have a gross, "mealy" texture, and I want to cry when I put them in my mouth. I'm sorry but white bread and white rice is so much tastier!!! Cutting out refined sugar would be easier for me......
I used to be a white bread person until the day my boyfriend and I were feeding some squrriels he tossed his wheat and i tossed my white. The squrriels looked at the white bread then at me and grabbed his wheat bread and ran. He laughed so hard and said "see even they won't eat it." I just looked at him tears pouring down our faces from the laughter and told him he won I would switch. I did have to try many different breads until I found one I liked because I too ate some that made cardboard seem more palatable.
This is great! Our family LOVES our whole grains and I think it really depends on not only which brands you might be choosing but also how they are prepared. We have spent the last year really encouraging and teaching our kids why whole grains are so important and that is all we eat the majority of the time. It was hard in the beginning because I was buying only store brands for the cheapest box but soon realized that there was no comparison once we tried Kamut Wheat pasta compared to the other kind we had been trying to like. It was really good and had a great texture! So I try to bake using this flour and we eat healthy whole grain cereals, make our own granola bars with oats and we love quinoa and other awesome grains too! It feels good to eat healthy and you start to get used to it and enjoy it too!
