The article from MSN, written by a fitness expert, debunks common myths about carbohydrates and their role in weight gain. It explains that not all carbs are created equal; complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables provide essential nutrients and fiber, which can help in managing weight by promoting satiety and stabilizing blood sugar levels. The expert highlights that weight gain is more closely linked to overall calorie intake and the balance of macronutrients rather than carbs alone. Simple carbs and sugars, often found in processed foods, can lead to quick spikes in blood sugar and insulin, potentially contributing to fat storage if consumed in excess.
