These findings are consistent with those suggested by the results in limited short - term trials:
consumption of starches and refined grains may be less satiating, increasing subsequent hunger signals and total caloric intake, as compared with equivalent numbers of calories obtained from less processed, higher - fiber foods that also contain healthy fats and protein.27 Consumption of processed foods that are higher in starches, refined grains, fats, and sugars can increase weight g
