April 4, 2008, Newsletter Issue #110: Bread on a weight loss diet
Tip of the Week
To eat bread while on a diet or to avoid? That's a good question. There can be several correct answers though.
Are you limiting fats on your diet? If yes, than you can have your whole grain bread (no one benefits from refined white bread!) - especially if you do strength exercises.
If, however, you are limiting carbohydrates and until you reach your weight loss goal, bread can be not a good idea, along with potatoes, rice, starchy vegetables, etc.
If you are counting just calories, try to watch what's called calorie density - the less calories are in a serving by volume, the better. For example, one cup of fresh grapes is better than the same cup of raisins; two-cup bowl of vegetable soup is better than the same bowl of rich beef soup with pasta, etc.
