"The Cunning Way to Lose Weight Without Ditching Carbs, According to a Nutritionist"

Nutritionist Georgina Chilton suggests that it is possible to include carbohydrates in your diet and still lose weight. She advises allowing your meal to cool down before eating it, as this increases the amount of resistant starch in the food, which slows down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream and helps you feel fuller for longer. Chilton emphasizes the importance of stable blood sugar levels for weight management and recommends choosing carbohydrates with a low glycaemic index, such as sweet potatoes, spaghetti, chickpeas, and apples. She also highlights the necessity of a balanced diet and physical activity for optimal results.

However, scientists have preferred to focus on the supposed health benefits of yoghurt. While ice-cream may contain some beneficial nutrients such as calcium and have a low glycaemic index, its sugar and calorie content outweigh any potential benefits. Therefore, it should not be considered a health food, but rather something to be enjoyed in small amounts as part of an overall healthy diet.
