Dieting involves reducing food intake and avoiding certain foods. Bread is often on the list as it contains a lot of calories. Meanwhile, rye bread, with reasonable consumption, not only saturates the body with the necessary vitamins, but also promotes weight loss.
The benefits of rye bread
Rye bread is rich in phosphorus, magnesium, iron, vitamins A, B, PP and E. It contains essential amino acids, mineral salts, micro- and macroelements necessary for our body. All this makes rye bread an extremely useful product in winter, when the body is deficient in vitamins.
Also, this type of bread is distinguished by a high content of soluble fiber, which has a beneficial effect on the digestion process, cleanses the body of toxins, and gives a feeling of fullness after eating. In addition, the body spends a lot of energy on the digestion of fiber, which helps to get rid of extra pounds. And this product also removes excess cholesterol from blood vessels.
Not so long ago, Swedish scientists found that rye bread has the ability to absorb fat in the intestines and helps maintain insulin levels in the blood.
How to consume rye bread when dieting
Despite the clear benefits of rye bread for health and weight normalization, it should be consumed in small quantities while dieting. The calorie content of this product, although less than that of wheat bread or pastry products, is still quite high - 100 g contains 190 kilocalories. That is why it is still better to eat it in the morning, for example, at breakfast. This consumption of rye bread is typical of the Mediterranean diet. Then the body in the morning will receive a charge of the necessary energy for the whole day, and all the calories will be used up by lunchtime.
It is advisable to eat no more than 2 small pieces of such a product per day in order to get rid of extra pounds.
It is also very important to combine rye bread with other foods to normalize weight. It is useful to eat it with tea or coffee, soups or broths, light vegetable salads, low-fat dairy products. But nutritionists are not recommended to consume rye bread with foods rich in carbohydrates or proteins.
Rye bread should be abandoned in case of peptic ulcer or gastritis with high acidity.
Choosing the right rye bread for your diet
The correct choice of black bread is also important when following a diet. Especially useful is the classic rye bread, which has long been prepared in Russia from rye sourdough, without the use of yeast. It is best to choose baked goods that are very dark in color, indicating that the flour is ground to 97% and that all the beneficial components of the grain are preserved in the bread. Reasonable consumption of such a product will not only saturate the body with useful substances, but also absolutely will not affect the figure.
