Have you ever listened to Underground Wellness Blog Talk Radio with Sean Croxton? He always has a great broadcast full of awesome information! He does a lot of vblogs on Youtube and he has a really cool website. You can find all of the past shows about fat is not your fault, good carbs bad carbs, eat fat, lose fat, etc. on his website.

Beans in Sardinia, Costa Rica or Mexico, for example. Sweet potatoes in the south Pacific regions. While Asia and the reliance on white rice seems to be a major point of reference for the concern regarding carbs, rice isn't grown in the Mediterranean or the Copper Mountains of Mexico.

But, if you're looking for a way to stay full and cut your food budget, a diet consisting of more grains can cut expenses up to 50% a month. A $1.99 for albs of dried beans which will cook up to feed a pretty good sized family for one or two meals vs. $8.99 or more for a pound of lean meat? Grains really help with the budget.

Traveling to rural Italy or Asia, you won't see overweight people...if they are, they're typically Americans which is quite embarrassing. Yet here are a few things Americans don't "get" when in Europe or Asia which I learned from during my travels:

In addition, Saturated Fatty acids are another source...SFAs coat the cells (much like they cause red blood cells to clump) and contribute to insulin resistance.
