I Put Myself On A Diet: Are Whole Wheat Products Part Of A Weight Loss Diet?
by admin - February 7th, 2010. Filed under: Natural Weight Loss.Whole wheat is the more healthy food choice because of the xtra vitamins, fibers etc. But are they okay to eat when you actually want a lower kcal intake? White bread has less calories then whole wheat, so what to do?

For me, it’s not about calories, but nutrition. I don’t care if the slice of white bread has less calories as there is nothing natural about it. However, if the slice of all natural whole wheat bread is as close as possible to its original natural state, than that’s what I eat.
I don’t count calories, but read labels. If I see enriched flour (fancy wording for white), corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, artificial flavors, anything that I can neither pronounce nor recognize or just looks iffy, I don’t buy or consume. For example: My SIL buys a brand of granola bars that boast of having only 90 calories (Special K). I buy a brand of granola bars that have fifty more calories, but are all natural and organic (Trader Joe’s all natural grocery store). The Special K bars have ingredients I can’t even pronounce in addition to some of the aforementioned ones that I avoid.
I don’t have a weight problem, nor do I worry.

You can find a whole wheat bread that’s 40 to 60 calories per slice. It’s fine to eat up to 4 slices per day, 2 at a time. That’s your total starch intake for the day, though. Don’t be fooled by whole wheat pasta, it’s too high in carbs for my clients. Brown or white rice is a complex carb. High protein , low carb is the safest, longest lasting way to lose weight and keep it off for a lifetime.
