Not all breads are created equal from a nutritional point of view and this is an even more important distinction when dieting. A nutritionist reveals the type of bread that it is better to eat when you want to lose weight.
Rare are the French tables where bread has no place. Eat bread is, indeed, a common eating habit for most of us. It is therefore important to choose the bread that we eat so that it does not upset our nutritional balance. Consumed in reasonable quantities in case of cravings, it is even a food that allows “to have long-term energy without causing blood sugar spikes” explains dietitian nutritionist Alexandra Retion, in her book SOS nutrition, A good daily diet at Editions First. It therefore has its place in your meals, even when you are on a diet.
If there is one type of bread to banish when you want to lose weight, no need to deprive yourself of all! Start by focusing on fresh breads from the bakery to industrial breads found in supermarkets. Although it is possible to choose the baking of your baguette so that it helps us lose weight, the best thing is still to take advantage of the incredible wealth of our French bakeries to find a more interesting type of bread. a nutritional point of view. In general, the dietitian recommends eat special breads made with brown flours rather than white bread made with white flour like the baguette.

If a wholemeal bread or a rye bread are good options – because they respectively provide only 244 calories per 100g for 8.5 g of fiber, and only 239 calories for 5.5 g of fiber – it is in a “Nordic (or Viking) bread” that it is better to bite into. This type of bread is best suited to our slimming goals, as the expert states in her book. And for good reason, it is a bread made from 3 different flours, including 2 brown ones (rye and barley) which makes it particularly rich in fiber, but also vitamins and minerals. It contains “2 to 3 times more than the traditional baguette”.
The height of nutritional happiness, it is also a special bread enriched with sunflower, sesame, flax and millet seeds, which are themselves sources of essential fatty acids capable of lower the glycemic index of this bread, as the nutritionist explains. In short, it allows less fat and glucose to be stored in the body. Not bad is not it ?
