\u201cMan cannot live by bread alone — but a woman can.\u201d<\/p>\n
I identify with that quote!\u00a0 If there was a healthy bread-only diet, I could stick to it with no problem.\u00a0 This is\u00a0 definitely a category that is easily overdone, and eating too much can change these from green light to red light in a flash.\u00a0 Try to stick to one serving per meal or snack.<\/p>\n
The good news is that there are breads that can be eaten in moderation without giving your autopilot that dreaded message to store fat.\u00a0 These breads will be dark and chunky, because they have lots of fiber.\u00a0 That means your stomach will have to work to digest them and the sugar will go into your bloodstream slowly and steadily instead of in a spike.\u00a0 Here\u2019s my list of breads with a glycemic index less than 55:<\/p>\n
100% stone ground whole wheat bread<\/p>\n
Whole wheat tortillas<\/p>\n
Corn tortillas<\/p>\n
whole wheat pitas<\/p>\n
sourdough bread\u00a0 (something about the acid content makes this one low GI)<\/p>\n
Whole grain pumpernickel<\/p>\n
Whole grain rye<\/p>\n
Oat bran bread<\/p>\n
Ezekiel bread<\/p>\n
A note of caution: Read the label!\u00a0 Some breads are labeled \u201cwhole wheat\u201d but they are really only white bread with carmel color added to make it look browner.\u00a0 Just remember– the chunkier and chewier the better.<\/p>\n
Also, be aware that breads might be a trigger food for you. It is for me. I have to leave them alone!\u00a0 Try and see what works for you.<\/p>\n
Are you wondering about a particular type of bread that isn\u2019t on the list?\u00a0 Feel free to ask and I\u2019ll look it up for you.\u00a0 I have a multitude of lists in my resource stack of books and will be happy to check it out for you.<\/p>\n
