It is one of the favorite foods of the French. Golden with a white crumb, whole grain version, cereal… Bread is an irreplaceable part of our tables, an eternal ally for breakfast or plate sauce, so much so that we almost forget to measure its quantity. consumption. Only if whole-grain bread is an important source of vitamins, minerals and satiating fiber necessary for microbiota regulation and transit, it can harm us and lead to excess weight gain.So what is the right amount of daily consumption?
Trust your sense of satiety
First of all, let’s remember that bread should be included in a balanced diet. For the rest, it is completely possible to use it with every meal. In a previous article, nutritionist Nina Cohen-Cubi informed us that “as a general rule, you should pay attention to your sense of satiety to know what the right dose is. In the morning, for example, a menu consisting of two slices of buttered bread with fruit and with yogurt, it can be a good breakfast.”
And the rest of the day? “If you eat bread with your meal, you should avoid it with pasta, quinoa or rice,” the doctor pointed out, “it’s either one or the other.” Obviously, we always mean that bread is a source of starchy foods that is added to the other sources taken in during the day.

Flour
Used bread flour is also important. The bakery continues to be the best supplier of bread, according to Dr. Nina Cohen-Cubi, with the guarantee of a quality end product, free of thickeners and flavorings. Sliced sandwich bread, for example, is made from white flour and is on the list of highly processed industrial products. Generally high in starch and additives so should be avoided if possible.
Furthermore, to lower your bread’s glycemic index (its ability to raise blood sugar), you’ll choose from semi-finished products to whole-whole flour. this type of flour is richer in fiber, which can cause digestive problems. For people prone to these discomforts, the bread that is “bordering on perfection” is the bread that is made with spelled flour. So at the table.
