Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Unsalted Bread
Metabolic Effect: Unsalted bread contains less sodium than regular bread, which can help balance blood pressure. However, because it has a high glycemic index, it can quickly raise blood sugar and cause you to get hungry quickly.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming unsalted bread with foods containing protein and fiber helps to balance blood sugar. For example, it can be consumed with cheese, olives, or avocado.
Things to Consider: Unsalted bread has the same calories as regular bread. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control. 2 slices of unsalted bread are equivalent to about 1 bowl of soup.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from unsalted bread, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 25 minutes or run for 15 minutes.
