    I am so confused as to what to look for to make sure the bread I am buying is really sprouted whole grain. Can I trust labels that say sprouted whole grain? Is sprouted whole wheat the same thing? I bought bread that said sprouted whole wheat and I don’t know if the ingredient list is good. Is ezekiel bread a healthy option? Also what is malt in the bread ingredients list? Is that bad? Thank you!

    Also I read in the sugar detox info download to eat vegan cheese and yogurt fullfat and pastured. I don’t know anything about vegan food, is there a reason it said to eat vegan cheese and yogurt? Is non fat yogurt bad? I’m sorry I am just new to this! Thank you

    Hi, Thompsonsc. Yes, you can trust labels with regard to sprouting, and as long as no refined flours are in the ingredients list (or the label states “100%” whole grains), it is good. Malt is not a major concern. Ezekiel is considered the gold standard, so bravo.
    Vegan cheese is often made from nuts and seeds, which are very healthy. As for non-fat dairy, unfortunately, “milk solids” are added into it to replace the color and texture of fat – milk solids are oxidized, and consuming them can be quite damaging to the body.

    This is my first day and i’am taking notes. Ezekiel bread is the gold standard and vegan cheese is usually made with nuts and seeds so it is suppose to be very good for you. I think full fat yogurt is the best but I would like to know if light yogurt is good,too. (myra13,morincq3@gmail.com)

    Hi, myra. We don’t generally recommend light yogurts, as they tend to contain artificial sweeteners and milk solids. It is better if you use low fat or full fat plain yogurt and add your own natural sweetener and fruit. You can read more about the sweeteners we recommend: http://www.trimdownclub.com/the-best-way-to-sweeten-your-tea-2.
