If you’re trying to cut down your belly fat, carbs are one food you assume you need to cut out. However, the fact is that that’s only partly true.
Carbs get a bad reputation as they’re associated with simple carbohydrates in drinks, sweets, and other processed foods. Carbs may cause cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and more when consumed in excess.
While cutting out the ‘bad’ kinds of carbs is important, other types of carbohydrates are deemed very helpful in helping you achieve your weight loss goals.

Another study claims that people who eat a 3/4 cup of beans daily weigh 6.6 pounds less than those who don’t.
