Carb guilt in women

In women, the guilt about eating carbohydrates is quite high, almost double as that in men.

In a study done by University of Surrey, it was found that nearly half of the 3000 women surveyed felt guilty about eating carbs (carbohydrates), even though it is an essential component of a healthy diet.

Jane Ogden, who designed the study said ‘if they realize that carbohydrates can have an essential part in their diets not only for energy but also for building long-term sustainable healthy habits, then carbohydrates can resume their place as a central part of how they eat’.
