Dr. Jen Ashton, one of the nation's leading gynecologists and author of Your Body Beautiful: Clockstopping Secrets to Staying Healthy, Strong, and Sexy in Your 30s, 40s, and Beyond, wants to help you avoid stress-related weight gain. She recently revealed her tips on Dr. Oz's website, including the keys to banishing bad carbs.

Here's the skinny, according to Dr. Jen:

  • Be tough in kicking away carbs Monday through Friday: no white flour, white potatoes, even whole-grain carbs.
  • Be a weekend warrior on Saturday and Sunday, going for wheat berries for your carbs (e.g. on cereal).
  • Your go-to foods: lean proteins, fruits and vegetables.
