Once you go brown you don’t go back!

Hey guys,

Just a short post to show you what I have in my cupboards! Since I started my health journey I switched from white to brown (of course I’m talking about bread, pasta, rice and flour)!

I have to admit I was a white bread freak (I still eat it occasionally!) I made the swap because it was not a big sacrifice. The argument that won me over and got me to go to the “dark side” is simple: FIBER! Fiber keeps you full and helps you lower you caloric intake! SOLD!

Chooses the right bread!

Most bread only has 2-3 grammes of fiber! It’s important to read the labels as not all bread are created equal! My bread of choice:  St-Methode No Fat No Sugar Added Bread. That bread was created with a doctor in nutrition which explains the high fiber and vitamin content! So far it’s nutritional value is unmatched.

Let's make a quick comparison

I grabbed the first brown bread I saw to help you compare!

Take a look at what else I have in my pantry!

 

Out with the white: Swap ‘white’ foods  for more nutrient dense versions like whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, brown rice...

See you next time!
