Couscous makes you lose weight

@Drewman Any problems regarding durum wheat?

@helenS carbs right?

@Drewman Ah okay I see. Thank you.

@helenS I used to own a company where we did nutrition labels for restaurants.... One serving of couscous has like 40 grams of carbs

@Drewman Personally I have no idea what should be wrong with carbohydrates like wheat or corn or oats. They are an essential part of a healthy nutrition. People do not eat too much of carbs, they eat too much. That's the problem. That's the reason of obesity.

@helenS personally I think psychology is a main driver in obesity..... But National Institute of Health says its carbs and actually I think it's eating

1. Not enough in a day and too much at one time
2. Eating at wrong times

But this is the general thing on carbs....

"Carbohydrates are the main driver of excess body fat by causing fluctuations in blood sugar that increase appetite. ... Body fat is hormonally active and causes the four problems of the metabolic syndrome: dyslipidemia, elevated blood sugar, elevated blood pressure and overweight/obesity."
