What bread to eat?

[pad41260]

I bought Arnold Whole Grain 12 Grains Bread. Is this okay?

I am not sure but I have had great luck with the whole Ezekiel bread line. It is all SWG and there are wraps, tortillas, english muffins and several bread options. It is tasty and filling. Trader Joe’s carries a little bit but you’d be better with health food stores luck Mothers or Whole Foods. (Not sure where you are located).

I just joined today and I was wondering if someone can tell me what does “SWG” mean?

I am in England where do I buy the bread wraps etc

Hi, termac. Sainsbury and Whole Foods Market are both good sources.

the stores I’ve found swg bread at keep it refrigerated. It’s a good bread!

Is wheat free bread the same as gluten free bread?Gluten free bread is easier to find but will it keep insulin and fat stores low like you say wheat free bread does?

[Ossie-Sharon]

Hi, maxxgreathead. Not necessarily – it’s better to read the ingredients list to be sure. Only gluten-free products that are whole grain will help keep glucose balance. Many of those products tend to be made with refined flours, so again, it’s important to read the labels.

Am I correct in assuming that any sprouted grain is a whole grain? It doesn’t seem as if it could sprout if it wasn’t. I do wonder if the Ezekiel brand is considered 100% whole grain though since it has Organic Wheat Gluten listed as an ingredient? It is at least way towards the end of the ingredients list.

Hi, hwyla. Yes to all 🙂

Hi O/S , I have been baking sourdough Rye bread , it’s not in my menu planner ! Why ? and is it ok to replace when bread is called for ? In other words is it ok to eat ?
Regards Ossie

Hi, Ossie11. Yes, it is definitely OK if it is whole grain (rye is a grain).

I just started this club…..and I’m wondering how many slices of rye bread is too much for a day…..today I had two slices of toast for breakfast….then had a tomato sandwich for lunch with two slices of rye bread….bread is my down fall as you can see…..pls inform me soon….thankyou

Hi, Sherry. It depends on how many exchanges you are allotted for that nutrient food group (carbohydrates). Each ounce (28-gram) slice of bread is 1 carbohydrate exchange, and you can see how many exchanges you have at each meal and day by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu. Another important factor is the composition of the bread – make sure it is 100% whole grain or wholemeal, without excessive added sugar or hydrogenated fats.
