Processed carbs are proving to be more of a problem in our diets than we used to believe. Nobody has ever truly believed that they were choosing fast food for the nutrition value, after all. However, as it turns out, highly processed carbohydrates actually have more of an impact on our weight than previously believed. In fact, new research is now suggesting that they are having as much of an impact as overeating and caloric intake on the challenges we face in losing weight, and on the prevalence of obesity and overweight rates worldwide.

When we want to lose weight, many of us always return to the same basic question: Do we need diet or exercising more? The truth is that you need both to enjoy long-term weight loss, yet so few of us really understand that and work to make the requisite changes.
