Say Goodbye to Bread: A Plant Paradox’s Guide
Bread is a widely consumed comfort food, but is it really worth it when it comes to your overall health? According to Dr. Gundry’s Plant Paradox program, it’s a big no-no. With little nutritional value, bread can negatively affect your health in ways you might not expect. However, don’t fret. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons why bread should be avoided and what alternatives you can eat to satisfy your cravings.
Why Is Bread Bad?
Carbohydrates in bread have a harmful impact on our health. Bread contains gluten, which is hard for our bodies to digest, causing inflammation leading to various health issues like bloating and leaky gut. Bread is also a processed food that can spike our blood sugar levels. The high level of sugar leads our brains to crave even more bread, causing a vicious cycle.
The Benefits of Eliminating Bread for 30 Days
Cutting out bread from your diet, even just for a month, can offer fantastic benefits worth trying. Surprisingly, the effects of bread on your body are often subtle, and you may not pick up on them immediately. After 30 days, you may notice that your mood has improved, your skin has cleared up, and you have more energy throughout the day. An added benefit of ditching bread is weight loss!
What Can You Eat Instead of Bread?
Now, this is a tricky one. It seems like bread is everywhere, from morning toast to lunchtime sandwiches. Fear not, Dr. Gundry has got you covered with an extensive list of alternatives.
1. Cauliflower: This cruciferous veggie is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of ways, such as cauliflower rice and mash, and even cauliflower pizza crust!
2. Legumes and Nuts: Chickpeas, lentils, black beans, and almonds can be great substitutes for bread. You can make hummus, bean dips, and even bread using almond flour.
3. Sweet Potato Toast: Slice up some sweet potato as thinly as possible, roast them in the oven for 20 minutes and you’ll have healthy, crunchy toast.
4. Lettuce Wraps: Not only are lettuce wraps packed with vitamins, but they’re also a healthy and refreshing way to substitute bread in any sandwich.
5. Zucchini: This versatile veggie can be transformed into zucchini noodles, buns, and slices to be used in several delicious recipes.
