Article by David H. Mason
We all love bread (in its various forms), it is simple, cheap, always available and mostly tasty.Bread fits in on virtually any time of the day. But what do you actually know of this simple food?Did you know that white bread is probably the one worst way to provide your body with carbohydrates?Did you know that white bread is so light in weight that it takes almost a third of a loaf to make a grown person feel full?You didn’t?It’s ok, most people don’t know that.One of the big misconceptions regarding diets is that only sweets and fat cheese can make you fat.I’m telling you right now, white bread makes you fatter.If you are on a diet and you are eating white bread – you need to know that you’re disrupting your own efforts. Let’s get serious for a moment,100 grams of white bread contains 270 calories that’s approximately 3 slices.100 grams of Whole wheat bread contains 210 calories but will make you feel a lot fuller.See, that’s the main reason why you should not eat white bread.Aside of that, white brad contains simple carbohydrates,This means it has the same effect as plain table sugar (carbs wise).What does it mean?It means the carbs in the bread are digested quickly,They provide a boost in your blood sugar level,That makes the body release large amounts of insulin.I don’t want to get into the biological details but in general,Insulin is used to level your blood sugar level,When insulin levels are high the body does not want to burn fat.In other words, the insulin tells the body to not use the fat but to keep it.To sum up, when you eat while bread you tell your body to stop burning fat for a while.Why oh why would you do such thing?The answer is simple – you are used to it.My advice is to start getting used to better types of bread.Almost any type of bread which is not made of white flour is better for your weight loss attempts.I’m sure you understood why you should substitute your white bread but let me tell you one more thing.It’s easy and doing easy things usually provides quick results.While dieting, you have a lot of difficulties and a lot on your mind,So why not help yourself with such an easy solution that really doesn’t require anything except buying different bread?I see no reason and neither should you.I hope I helped giving you push toward a healthier, thinner life.Good luck,
