I just read about a woman who lost 90 pounds in nine months.
Only by changing her breakfast habits and walking.
She started to eat a breakfast containing healthy bread, fruits and vegetables. And the pounds just disappeared.
The bread you eat really makes a difference.
I friend of mine had a similar experience a couple of years ago. She had been gaining weight slowly but surely for years. I don’t really want to say it but she had become fat.
By changing bread she not only reversed the weight gain trend. It became her solution to serious, permanent weight loss. I don’t know how much she lost but I can tell you that it was a total transformation. She looked great.
What is so bad about bread?
We’ve all heard about low carb diet and glycemic index. In a diet based on food with low glycemic index you don’t eat fast carbohydrates. The fast carbohydrates in in for example white flour are devastating. They give you a blood sugar rush. Every blood sugar high is followed by an as extreme low. With this blood sugar low you need energy again. FAST!
By starting you day with white bread or sugary cereal you make sure that your day will be full of blood sugar highs and lows. And the following sugar cravings.
White flour is highly processed. It has lost most of its natural nutrients. Sure often its enriched but that is just not good enough. Your body needs nutrients. It doesn’t matter how much food you stuff in your stomach. If there is not enough nutrients you will soon be hungry again.
White flour is used in many products because it is cheap and has a very long shelf life. Not because it is healthy.
So how do you pick healthy bread?
I wish it was as easy as saying whole grain but it’s not. Most whole grain bread contains just a little bit of whole grain and lost of cheap white flour.
Preferably your bread should contain NO white flour. At least the whole grain should be listed before of the white flour in the ingredients label. Then you know that there is more whole grain than white flour.
4 things to think of when you choose bread:
- It should contain mainly whole grain (check the ingredients label)
- Try other grains than wheat; rye, spelt, barley.
- Healthy bread is heavy, lift it up a feel.
- Color is not enough. Brown bread is not equal to healthy.
Healthy bread is more expensive to buy. But I seriously wonder if it isn’t cheaper in the long run. You need a lot less to get full and you stay full much longer.
Apparently barley is especially good if you want to avoid snacking.
Back to my friend who lost so much weight by changing bread. I told you how great she looked.
Well, she still looks great. Years later she has not put on any weight.
That’s what we need to loose weight and keep it off.
The great this about this way loosing weight is that you do not need to follow a diet. Continue eating as usual. Just buy healthier bread. It is sooo easy.
