Depending on the type of flour contained in the bread, but also according to the manufacturing recipe, the glycemic index varies and increases. To eat bread, without worrying too much about its impact on weight gain, today we give you the name of the bread that contains the highest glycemic index… and which should therefore be avoided!
Whether we are in the midst of food rebalancing or not, nutritionists very often advise to avoid consuming bread on a daily basis. Composed of flour, wheat, sugar and therefore gluten, bread can indeed promote weight gain and “inflate” the belly, which makes it a food not to be incorporated regularly into the food routine.
But not all breads are necessarily “bad” for your health! The index or glycemic index (GI) of bread varies according to its composition. It is then necessary to see if the bread is white, wholemeal, rye or even oat bran. As a reminder, the glycemic index is a criterion that makes it possible to classify foods containing carbohydrates according to their effects on glycemia, that is to say the level of sugar in the blood, in the two hours following their ingestion.

Low blood sugar: which bread has the highest glycemic index?
To know which breads to avoid, note that the higher the glycemic index of a food, the higher the blood sugar will rise when ingested. After this rise in blood sugar, an insulin peak is then observed. By trying to bring down blood sugar, this hormone will then promote the storage of carbohydrates in the form of fat.
In order not to gain weight, So make sure to keep your glycemic index low. and therefore favor foods that do not increase it! Know now that the glycemic index ofa food is considered high if it is greater than or equal to 60. For breads, it is necessary to analyze the type of flour (whole wheat flour is healthier), the presence of seeds also lowers the glycemic index, as does sourdough, which is better than yeast.
Among the breads with the lowest glycemic indices, we find sourdough bread (GI 35), grain bread (IG35), rye bread (IG40), spelled bread (IG45), buckwheat bread (GI50). Among the breads with the highest glycemic indices and therefore to be avoided wholemeal bread (IG50 to 70), the classic wand (IG70), country bread (IG70) and the bread (IG85).
