Wheat or Rye... which is better?

 

 to eat or not to eat...

While eating a good whole grain wheat bread provides more protein, consuming rye bread results in a better insulin response compared with consuming refined wheat bread, according to a 2003 study by researchers from several universities, including University of Kuopio in Finland. The researchers concluded that the results may be related to the molecular differences in rye bread compared with wheat bread, related to the structure of starch within the bread.

That is why rye is often considered a superior grain to wheat or barley in terms of weight loss efforts. The type of fiber in rye is somewhat unique, in that it is extremely binding with water molecules, meaning that it makes you feel full very quickly. The problem with being on a diet is that you are often hungry, so you inevitably give in. However, by removing the feeling of hunger and creating some sense of satiety, the type of fiber found in it can keep you from snacking in between meals or overeating, which are two surefire ways to mess up your weight loss program!
