We have all had weight problems from time to time. In such cases, the first thing that comes to our mind is to eat less or starve our body throughout the day. Contrary to popular belief, we cannot lose weight by starving our body. Just as a car needs gasoline to function, our body also needs energy and nutrients to function.
Our body obtains its energy from nutrients. These are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. Carbohydrates are nutrients that provide energy to our body and are found in almost all foods. There is a sentence we often hear: I cut out bread, I don't eat bread at all, but I still can't lose weight. If you cut out the bread, you also cut off the fuel to your brain. The carbohydrates in bread are broken down into glucose. Our brain's only nutritional source is glucose. Since brain cells cannot store their needs, they depend on blood sugar. The task of bread is to keep blood sugar balanced. Of course, the bread we are talking about here is not white bread. Brown bread is whole grain bread. You may think that dietitians recommend whole grain bread because it is lower in calories. Actually it is not. Reasons why we insist on consuming whole grain or whole wheat bread:
-The amount of fiber contained in whole grain bread is higher than white bread. So what does this mean? You won't feel hungry for a long time after eating whole wheat bread, but you will feel hungry a few hours after consuming white bread.
-Consumption of white bread causes you to gain weight from your waist area.
-The glycemic index of white bread is similar to whole wheat bread. is higher than . This causes white bread to cause sudden increases and decreases in your blood sugar. Whole wheat bread does not cause sudden ups and downs in your blood sugar.
-Whole wheat bread ensures smooth bowel movements.
That's why bread is important for us. You need to continue your diet without fear of bread, keeping it in your life in limited amounts.
