Answer: Your friend is right. Taking white bread and white potatoes, as well as white rice and white pasta, out of your diet can be helpful for weight loss. Because of the way your body processes these four foods, they can lead to cravings for carbohydrates, also called sugars.

Read More »To get beyond the cycle of food cravings, I typically recommend to patients who want to lose weight that they completely avoid white bread, white rice, white pasta and potatoes for two weeks. After that, you can introduce them back into your diet in smaller, reasonable amounts. Those two weeks can be hard because your body will have strong cravings for these foods. But during that time, the cravings should gradually decrease. Eating plant-based proteins such as nuts, beans and lentils can help. Lean meat and fish also can be good sources of healthy protein to include in your diet instead of rice, pasta, bread and potatoes. Keep in mind, too, that the whole-grain alternatives of some of these foods can be healthy options if you eat them in moderation and keep portion sizes reasonable. Whole grains have not had the bran and germ removed through milling. They are better sources of fiber and other important nutrients, such as selenium, potassium and magnesium, than are refined grains. Whole grains can be single foods, such as brown rice and popcorn, as well as ingredients in other products, such as buckwheat in pancakes or whole wheat in bread. Although avoiding white bread, pasta, rice and potatoes can be a useful step toward weight loss, it should be done as part of a healthy program that includes a balanced diet, along with exercise. For guidance on weight loss plans that may be right for you, consider meeting with a dietitian or talk with your doctor.
