If it is whole grain, such as brown rice and whole-wheat it is perfectly fine to add these products into your healthy diet recipes. Whole grain products do not cause weight gain like refined white flour products do. Your body needs whole grains for a healthy system and to ensure proper elimination.

The food industry has gotten out of hand with their low carb-low cholesterol gimmicks. Whenever there is an alternate food product for the whole food product you should be wary. Don’t be finagled by the margarine and cheese substitutes. No margarine ever invented is better for your health than real butter.

You actually gain weight on the low fat/low carb food substitutes. These man-made substitutes weren’t meant for eating and the body cannot assimilate these tainted products properly. For healthy diet recipes, always substitute with low fat and low carb whole foods instead.
