5 good reasons and 3 easy recipes to make you love whole grain bread even more

Keeping track of your health and shape is not such a hard job if you are interested in modern technology. We are now talking about those that allow you to make whole grain breads truly tasty and healthy.

What can replace bread on a diet

“Doctor, I know that I cannot eat bread, but what can replace it?” – endocrinologist, nutritionist Olga Pavlova often hears this question from patients. She gives the answer to it in this material: we will talk about bread and its alternatives.

The desire to lose weight, diabetes mellitus, gluten and yeast intolerance are the main reasons that lead many to completely eliminate bread from the diet.

Choosing the right food to maintain a slim figure and well-being, we often completely exclude baked goods from the diet due to their high calorie content – one small piece of white bread weighing 25 grams contains 65 kcal, and the main amount of nutrients is represented by fast carbohydrates. which give rise to a spike in blood sugar, lead to an increased release of insulin and can contribute to the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Unfortunately, gray bread (2 varieties) is also quite high-calorie: 1 piece weighing 25 grams contains 57 kcal and a large amount of carbohydrates, and rarely can anyone limit themselves to one piece of bread.

You don’t even need to mention the dangers of gluten and yeast, their negative effect on the intestines and the state of immunity is discussed everywhere.

If a person loves fresh vegetables, does not suffer from chronic pancreatitis and intestinal diseases, in which they are contraindicated, then bread can be replaced with fresh cucumber, tomato, bell pepper.

If replacing bread with fresh vegetables is unacceptable for any reason, then whole grain crisps will become an alternative.

How are whole grain breads winning the battle for health and leanness?

Firstly, the loaves are low in calories: one loaf contains 15-30 kcal (on average, 2 times less kcal than 1 slice of bread).

Secondly, high-quality crispbreads (I choose Dr. Korner breads for home, they are approved by the Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and have the status of a “dietary food”) contain a large amount of fiber, which slows down the absorption of carbohydrates from the bread, which has a beneficial effect on blood sugar the risk of developing obesity and diabetes; also fiber normalizes the work of the gastrointestinal tract and helps to eliminate toxins and toxins from the body.

Thirdly, in whole grain breads there are no yeast and other fermentation products, which improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

Fourthly, many types of whole grain breads are gluten-free (Ed., Dr. Korner has 10 types of bread from the main line gluten-free. This is confirmed by the sign of the crossed out spikelet with the indication of the certificate number on the packaging of the loaves. It is possible to use this mark only after the enterprise has been audited by the Association of European Societies for Celiac Diseases and the products have been tested for gluten by an international accredited laboratory.). Therefore, such a dietary food product has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the intestines and the immune system and can be eaten by people suffering from celiac disease and food allergies.

Fifthly, bread contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, PP, folic acid, they contain only 100% natural ingredients, but preservatives and flavor enhancers (as well as artificial flavors and colors) are absent.

This is why whole grain crisps can be safely used as a healthy alternative to bread. For one meal we eat 1-2 loaves, this is quite enough. But what should not be limited is your culinary imagination. You can make a wide variety of sandwiches, desserts and more with whole grain breads! And most importantly, it will be not only a tasty, but also a healthy snack.

By the way, popular food bloggers were personally convinced of this, and now they share their recipes with you.
