Whole grain in weight loss
Breakfast ideas are endless therefore whole-grain cereals is on the top of the list as best for weight control and health improvement.
A new study shows people who followed a weight loss program incorporating whole-grain breads, cereals, and other foods lost more body fat from the abdominal area than those who ate only refined grains like white bread and rice.Whole grain also increase intake of magnesium and dietary fiber. If you are looking for good source of whole grain,here are some examples of whole grain: Whole wheat,Whole oat(oatmeal), Brown rice, Whole rye, Whole grain corn, Popcorn, Wild rice, Whole grain barley, Buckwheat Millet. When trying to select food with whole grains,look for cereals that list whole grain or bran as their first ingredient and contain at least 2 grams of dietary fiber per serving. Bran cereal and oatmeal contain at least 7 grams per serving, or about 25 percent of the recommended daily intake. Here are some examples you can look for: Brown rice Bulgar Oatmeal Whole grain corn Whole oats Whole rye Wild rice Whole wheat Foods labeled with the words "multi-grain," "stone-ground," "100% wheat," "cracked wheat," "seven-grain," or "bran" are usually not whole-grain products. Color is not an indication of a whole grain. Bread can be brown because of molasses or other added ingredients. Read the ingredient list to see if it is a whole grain. Use the Nutrition Facts Label and choose products with a higher % Daily Value (%DV) for fiber. The "%DV" for fiber is a good clue to the amount of whole grain in the product. You can add whole grain to snacks and meals,such as adding whole grain flour or oatmeal to cookies or other baked treats.Popcorn can also be a healthy snack with little or no added salt and butter. Time is at a premium for most of us. Nevertheless, it pays to make time for what may be the most important meal of the day.Try to choose foods from at least two or more food groups. Protein foods take longer to digest and will provide sustained energy and keep you feeling full longer.
