Bread alone is not fattening. What makes you fat is excessive consumption of carbohydrates, as well as any other macronutrient, such as proteins and fats. Nutritionist Geila Felipe explains that it is wrong to think that carbohydrates should be cut from the diet of those who want to lose weight. The important thing, according to her, is not to exceed the recommended values.
However, an important tip for those who want to lose weight is that there are two types of carbohydrates: simple and complex. Simple ones are present in foods with a sweet taste, such as honey, jelly, milk, sugar and fruits. On the other hand, bread, pasta, rice, cereals, potatoes, cassava and flour belong to the group of complex carbohydrates.
Those who want to lose weight should prefer a balanced diet, consisting of vegetables, vegetables, fruits, beans and whole complex carbohydrates. Whole foods are digested more slowly and, therefore, give a greater feeling of satiety, in addition to containing fiber that helps regulate the bowel. In that case, wholegrain bread might be a better option than white bread.
As for simple carbohydrates, they should be consumed sporadically and in moderation. To lose weight, the ideal is to avoid foods such as sweets, chocolates and sweets in general. The exception is for fruits and milk, which must be consumed, since they are a source of fiber (in the case of fruits), vitamins and minerals.
Practitioners of physical activities, lasting more than one hour, must prioritize the intake of carbohydrates before, during or after the activity. Those who do not exercise should control the amount of carbohydrates, especially at night, when the body's metabolism slows down.
