White rice and sugar diet, weight loss study
Paul Saladino posted an interesting video yesterday about why carbs are necessary. He highlighted a study done back in the 50s where people lost a lot of weight on just a white rice and sugar diet. Saladino inadvertently shows that a diet devoid of vitamin A helps people lose weight.
