The January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is reporting the results of a study at Penn State that finds greater amounts of whole grains in your diet may assist in weight loss. 

On top of all the good stuff you expect from weight loss like reduced weight and waist circumference, the researchers noted that participants in the study who ate whole grains had significant weight loss in the abdominal region.  Remember apple shape bad, pear shape good; since an apple shape is a precursor to chronic disease like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

So pick some good whole grains to add to your diet with your fresh fruits and vegetables.  When reading your labels, make sure the whole grain part is one of the first ingredients to ensure the grain makes up half the product and is good for you. 

Healthy Eating!
