Can you really eat more to lose weight? Well, I've been experiencing a weird phenomenon. I've been trying to eat all the recommended amount of foods in the food pyramid, which I'm finding is more food than I can handle most days--and I've been losing weight! It's the most counter-intuitive idea in weight loss--but it's one that works. The foods that the food pyramid recommends--the foods that we are supposed to be eating--are rich in nutrients. Quite literally, every calorie that's consumed has nutritive value--and no food group is vilified. Presently, carbs are considered "bad", but the truth is, even after eating a generous 6-8 servings of whole grain carbs everyday, I've been losing weight.
Go figure.
