White Bread The Culprit

This week we are avoiding white bread, the question for most might be why. Well, here it goes, white bread contains pretty much just carbohydrates, there's no fiber, and most if not all nutrients has been strip from the flour used. Although we are focusing on white bread we have to bear in mind that the flour itself is the culprit, therefore, such products as pretzels, bagels, crackers etc. made from refine flour pose the same danger to our weight loss as the white bread. Think of it this way, any form that refine flour takes should be avoided.

For those especially trying to lose weight these refined flour products should be avoided. Reason number one is that these products contains absolutely no fiber. Products with high amounts of Fiber helps in that it is slowly digested, making us feel full faster and longer, thereby, you tend to consume less calories with fiber filled products as opposed to refined products which is digested at a very fast rate.

There is also a misconception out there about breads, some people believes that if a bread says whole wheat it must be healthy. I suppose it is an healthier option, but whole wheat breads still contain refund flour. The goal is to look for 100% whole grain bread, also most sourdough breads are high in fiber and other nutrients. So next time shopping try something different, reach for 100% whole grain product and see the difference.
