Carbohydrates have been wrongly accused of being the “fattening” ingredient of foods, thereby misleading millions of weight-conscious people into eliminating nutritious carbohydrate-rich foods from their diets. In truth, people who wish to lose fat, maintain lean tissue, and stay healthy can do no better than to attend closely to portion sizes and calorie intakes and to design an eating plan around carbohydrate-rich fruit, legumes, vegetables, and whole grains.
