Bread as a staple food can lose weight
Steamed bread is made from fermented flour, and its main nutrients are carbohydrates, which are the basic food for people to supplement energy. Steamed bread contains an edible, nutrient-rich, single-celled microorganism called yeast. It can provide a variety of nutrients needed by the human body in addition to proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals and so on.
Steamed bread is a starchy food, and many people take it for granted that eating steamed bread will make you gain weight. But in fact, the calorie of steamed bread is only 70% of that of rice, and its fat and sugar content is lower than that of rice. Therefore, replacing rice with steamed bread as the staple food at dinner will not gain weight.
In addition, steamed bread contains much more selenium and glutathione than rice. They have the effect of resisting lipid peroxidation, blocking free radical damage to cells, and enhancing human immunity, which can relieve psychological and physiological pressure. Therefore, steamed bread is the staple food, which can make people full of energy and not easy to be hungry.
At night, people’s digestion and absorption function is the worst, eating too much starch, easy to store fat. Although it is easier to lose weight by eating steamed bread than rice, I recommend eating less starchy foods at night.
