I'm back for another episode of Arnold's Pump Club.

Today, I'm going to teach you how you can eat more carbs and absorb fewer calories.

It sounds like a gimmick, but it's backed by some really fantastic research.

I'll also share the surprising relationship between sleep quality and the likelihood of suffering a stroke.

And I'll break down why most people overestimate how many fruits and vegetables you need to eat

of the internet and lift up the world.

But what if certain foods help you absorb fewer calories?

New research suggests that eating more high fiber foods could result in your body burning more calories and making it easier to lose weight.

This diet consisted of foods that people picture as being healthy, such as fruits, vegetables, oats, lentils, and nuts.

The calories and macronutrients were all equal on both diets.

The participants lived in a controlled environment and spent time in a metabolic chamber to determine exactly how many calories they burned.

Even though both groups consumed the same amount of proteins, carbs, and fats,

those eating the less processed foods burned, twice as many calories, and in some cases nearly four times as many calories.
