According to recent research, eating whole wheat bread does not help you lose weight. Let's find out which is the best bread for weight loss
It has been advised by many nutrition experts that replacing white bread with wholemeal bread is one of the best things to do for lose weight. Whole wheat bread is generally richer in fiber, which helps you feel fuller than white bread and is therefore chosen by those on weight loss regimens. However, according to a recent study published in the journal Clinical Nutrition, wheat bread, even wholemeal, is actually not the best choice in terms of weight loss in the long term.
A systematic review
Lo study divided 242 overweight men and women into two focus groups, all between the ages of 30 and 70. One group ate refined wheat bread, while the other group ate whole rye products with the same energy (i.e. caloric) level. Participants were also followed up by a dietician regarding healthy eating habits to follow throughout the study.
After 12 weeks, the researchers were able to conclude that while both groups were able to lose weight, the group that ate whole rye products lost an average of one kilogram and reduced body fat by the same amount. 0,54%.
According l 'USDA, wholemeal rye has a high fiber content compared to other refined bread products, with a maximum of 2 grams of fiber per slice. Rye bread is also known to contain a dense amount of nutrients such as selenium, thiamine, manganese, niacina, riboflavina, vitamin B6, rame, iron and folate; a slice of refined wheat bread it only contains about 1 gram of fiber.
The results
The study states that anyone who eats regularly rye bread with a high fiber content feels fuller than someone who eats the same amount of wholemeal bread. Feeling full and satisfied is the key to weight loss, so finding high-fiber foods that keep you full longer is better than continually eating more "empty" (ie non-filling) calories.
Although the study found a weight difference compared to the two groups, the researchers say more research is needed, especially when it comes to observing differences in appetite, geographic location of participants (rye bread is easily accessible in Scandinavia and Europe. ) and continuously observing the intake of whole rye and the reduction of fat.
