Sprouted Grain Bread (like Ezekiel Bread)
- Why it's great: Made from sprouted whole grains and legumes, it has a low glycemic index (GI) and is rich in fiber and protein.
- Blood sugar benefit: Slower digestion means fewer glucose spikes.
100% Whole Grain or Whole Wheat Bread
- Look for: “100% whole wheat” or “whole grain” as the first ingredient, with at least 3g fiber per slice.
- Blood sugar benefit: Contains complex carbs and fiber, helping glucose stay stable.
Low-Carb or Keto Bread
- Best for: Those on a low-carb diet or managing type 2 diabetes closely.
- Ingredients: Often made with almond flour, flaxseed, or psyllium husk.
- Watch out: Some brands are highly processed—choose versions with clean, whole-food ingredients.
Seeded Bread (like flaxseed or chia)
- Why it stands out: Seeds add healthy fats and fiber, lowering the overall carb impact.
- Blood sugar benefit: High in omega-3s and slows down digestion of carbs.
Avoid:
- White bread
- Enriched or refined flour products
- Breads with added sugars or honey
Always check the nutrition label & aim for low net carbs and high fiber. Toasting bread can also slightly reduce its glycemic impact.
