Eating whole grains whenever possible is another weight-loss strategy. Whole grains include brown rice, oats, barley, buckwheat, and whole wheat. Substituting whole grains whenever possible can help you fill up faster. These healthy carbohydrates can be found in many prepared products like pizza crust, waffles, English muffins, and pasta.
The thing with whole grains is that they don't seem to agree with everyone. I know that if I eat whole wheat bread and pasta, for example, that I put on fat really quickly. And it packs right onto my midsection.
