Many people, if not most, cannot imagine their diet without bread.
If you suffer from excess weight and want to lose weight, you should not give up bread – just replace wheat with rye.
There are several reasons: firstly, rye bread contains more vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids.
Secondly, rye boasts a higher content of dietary fiber, which is known to be necessary for the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and the removal of harmful substances from the body, including excess cholesterol.
Thirdly, rye bread is a guarantee of a feeling of satiety that will last for a long time. We should thank those same dietary fibers and gluten for this.
If you eat a piece of bread at every meal, you can reduce your daily calorie intake - the feeling of satiety after bread will prevent you from attacking sweets and other high-calorie foods.
And fourthly: since the glycemic index of rye bread is almost two times lower than that of premium wheat flour, it is also recommended for those who suffer from diabetes.
Please note: no matter what kind of bread you choose – wheat or rye – give preference to the one baked from wholemeal flour or wholemeal flour, second grade flour.
For reference
Bread is a food product obtained by baking dough made from at least flour and water, loosened with baker's yeast or sourdough.
