Actually, there's a LOT of misinformation about that type of stuff. I've swapped out the Kraft crap for non-grain pasta and my waist is now smaller than it's been in many years (I need a belt to wear 34" waist pants now and I'm 6'4" 240 lbs.!).
As with most of the BS that is out there, I've done a LOT of research on this and you need fat to get rid of fat (and absorb fat-soluble vitamins) while sugar is the main thing that packs on the stubborn fat (and all grains turn into sugar, they're worse than cane sugar!). You literally will lose weight eating bacon and eggs while packing it on with cereal, toast, pancakes, etc.
