Diet Tip | SKIP PLAIN BREAD, GO COMPLEX
As we all know, white bread isn't the healthiest of options as it consists of "bad" carbohydrates that elevate blood glucose too quickly, playing havoc with our insulin levels. But snacking on bread made from whole wheat flour reduces this spike, slowly raising our blood glucose.
Choosing whole wheat bread containing oatmeal or seeds also increases how it fills the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness more quickly. Better yet, these additives are digested slowly, keeping you feeling fuller for longer.
Pair these pieces with a lean, protein-rich food, such as peanut butter or tuna, to stay full for hours. However, stay away from sugary fruit spreads, which contain plenty of glucose-busting refined sugar.
