Friends who are determined to live a healthy diet can choose to eat less fat bread.

Fitness and slimming is the current trend of life, and eating bread as a meal is also a new dietary trend. These two popular trends don't seem to conflict. Even though many people follow a low-carbohydrate diet (also called "Atkins diet"), they eat less carbohydrate food and more high-protein food in order to lose weight quickly. However, the bakery is still crowded.

However, it is really a dilemma for bodybuilders who actively keep in good health to love slimness or bread. Doctors advise everyone to eat a balanced diet, and not eating carbohydrate food for a long time is harmful to health. The nutritionist's opinion is that bread can still be eaten as it is, but the weight should be moderate. Friends who are determined to live a healthy diet can also choose to eat (compare) skim bread.

Atkins diet

Low-carbohydrate diet is commonly known as "meat diet". This diet was initiated by American doctor Dr. robert atkins in 1970s, so it is also called "Atkins Diet".

Low-carbohydrate diet became popular all over the world in 1990s. One of the reasons is that Dr. Atkins' book "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" has attracted great attention since its publication, and it ranks among the best sellers in the United States. Low-carbohydrate diet advocates not eating rice, pasta, bread and other foods with high starch content, and at the same time increasing the intake of high-protein foods in order to achieve the effect of rapid weight loss.

Soft bread vs hard bread

Whole wheat bread is made of wheat flour, rye flour, wheat bran, malt and fermented rye flour, which has high nutritional value.

Europeans take bread as their staple food and prefer "hard bread" with full bite. Although Asians' habit of eating bread comes from Europeans, their favorite bread tastes different from those of Europeans, and they only like soft taste. Over the years, the Japanese have developed a new bread school by combining the eastern and western tastes, combining the characteristics of a large number of grains and cheese in European bread, and the soft taste that Asians like. Friends who have a soft spot for Japanese bread should pay attention to the cheese content of bread.

Good fat versus bad fat

Fat can be divided into saturated fat and unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fat can be divided into monosaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. Saturated fat can increase cholesterol in human blood and cause heart disease. However, saturated fat is a unit of unsaturated fat, which is beneficial to the body and helps to lower cholesterol. Eating too much and fat is harmful, because it will reduce the body's intake of beneficial fat.

Lin Yanping said: "The cheese, cream and butter used in the market are all high in saturated fat. The daily fat intake required by the human body only accounts for 30% of the total dietary calories, while the saturated fat intake should be within 10%. "

A healthier choice: European cereal bread

A large number of grains, nuts and seeds are used as dough materials for European bread. Cereals are rich in cellulose and minerals, which helps to improve metabolism, while nuts and seeds are rich in unsaturated fat, which is good for health.

Mouselli bread is made of wheat flour, rye flour and wheat bran. It contains raisins, apples, oats and walnuts, and has a rich taste.

Lin Yanping reminded the bread family: "The actual nutritional value of cereal bread is mainly based on the weight of the material. If there are few grains and seeds in bread, the nutritional value absorbed by the human body will be close to zero. " It seems that in the future, in addition to providing information on bread materials, the bakery must also indicate the weight of each material in order to reassure the bodybuilders.

The myth of whole wheat bread

There is a famous saying in the world of weight loss: it doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is how much you eat. Eating bread does not necessarily have a bread face. The key is how much you eat and what kind of bread you choose.

Lin Yanping, a nutritionist in the Nutrition and Dietetic Department of Chen Dusheng Hospital and vice chairman of the Singapore Nutrition and Dietetic Association, told reporters that how fat bread is depends on the method of making bread and the materials used.

"Whole wheat bread is rich in fiber. High-fiber foods are easier to fill the stomach, making people feel full faster, indirectly reducing intake and reducing calorie absorption. " In other words, for the same bread, eating whole wheat bread is more beneficial to bodybuilding than eating white bread, because whole wheat bread has high fiber content, is easy to get full, and is easier to lose weight without stopping eating.

Watch out for traps.

Lin Yanping said: "Some noodles contain more calories because salt, sugar and edible fat are added in the production process."

In addition, it is worth noting that many people who love bread also like cakes. Crispy cakes contain more sugar and cream.
