For health purposes and for WEIGHT LOSS purposes, it is great for your body to have some variety. Do you always have Wheat Bread (preferably WHOLE wheat bread) on your sandwiches or toast?
Try something DIFFERENT. Give your body variety that it needs.
The best approach is to have something one day, have something different the next TWO days, and then you can go back to having what you did on day 1.
This will help get you off plateaus for weight loss, and keep you from developing sensitivities to certain foods.
Which brings us to the subject of Spelt Bread. YUM! Have you tried this?
I find mine at Trader Joes for $2.99. It it a different grain – a cousin to wheat – but different.
It has GREAT texture and taste.
So when I have a sweet tooth, I love to toast the spelt bread, put a THIN layer of mascarpone cheese, a TINY sprinkle of stevia, and then put some thawed out blueberries on the top of that. Its a subtle sweetness of blueberry cheesecake, but so much healthier.
If you want to vary your breads with Oat Bread or Potato bread, or 7 Grain Bread or things like that – look on the FIRST ingredient on the back. If it says “Enriched flour” or “wheat flour” or “whole wheat flour” then its really not giving you the variety.
Have you tried Spelt? Or spelt bread? How do you prefer to make yours?
Sounds great! Sadly, I don’t have a Trader Joe’s near my anymore. I’ll have to search.
