Fill Up on Whole Grains
Positive traits: Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, brown rice and whole grain pasta are loaded with fiber, therefore it is this quality that keeps you stiff, robust and feel fuller the whole day.
Negative traits: Only because a food is enriched with whole grains doesn’t mean that you have to gorge up oodles of amount, especially when the food says that it is fiber-rich, it doesn’t always signify that it is healthy like in case of cookies and sugary cereals. Therefore, before you pick up anything that are healthy sources of whole grain, then read between the lines as they should mention the following as first and second ingredients- whole wheat flour, Whole rye, Brown rice, and Whole oats.
Caution: scan the labels meticulously, watch portions, and don’t forget that a calorie is still a calorie.
