02.10.2024 12:54

If, in an effort to lose weight, you completely exclude some product (in this case, flour products) from your diet, you will, unfortunately, not be able to hold out for long.

At first, a person will endure, but sooner or later he will succumb to temptation and eat a large amount of baked goods, which, of course, will negatively affect not only his figure, but also his health.

Therefore, it is better to find a healthy replacement for white flour products.

Instead of baking (or buying) with white wheat flour, consider whole wheat or whole wheat flour.

Alternatively, use flour made from other grains, such as buckwheat, corn, oat or sorghum flour.

Be sure to try cooking dishes using rice flour - it is suitable even for those diagnosed with gluten intolerance.

But it also happens that people are forced to completely exclude flour products from their diet for some reason.

In such a situation, flour made from nuts or herbaceous plants will help.

Healthy lifestyle enthusiasts use different types of flour: amaranth, quinoa, teff, coconut, nut, bean, flax, banana, date, pumpkin and carrot.

All these types of flour are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals and do not cause insulin resistance.

The main thing is to choose the flavor (through trial and error, of course) that you like the most.
