A good way to replace French bread, made with white flour, is to eat tapioca, crepioca, couscous or oat bread, which are good options, but it is also possible to replace ordinary bread with foods rich in protein, such as an omelet with cheese, or a boiled egg, for example.
White bread is not an enemy of food, but it is not recommended to eat bread every day, because it is necessary to vary the diet. In addition, white bread is not part of most diets for weight loss, because it is rich in simple carbohydrates, which do not promote much satiety, and which help in weight gain.
Here are 7 healthy options to replace bread:
1. Fruits
Like bread, fruits are a source of carbohydrate, but they are usually less caloric and have more nutrients that promote metabolism and general health, such as vitamins, minerals and fiber.
The ideal is to consume only 1 serving of fruit per meal, preferably together with foods rich in protein, such as eggs, cheese, meat and yogurt. A good combination is to make fried plantains with egg and cheese, adding tomatoes and oregano to add flavor and using olive oil, butter or coconut oil in the pan.
2. Frying pan oat bread
Oat bread is richer in protein than conventional bread and gives more satiety because it also contains fiber.
Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, salt, pepper, salt and pepper to taste.
Method of preparation:
In a deep container, beat the egg with a fork until smooth. Add the other ingredients and beat well again. Pour the mixture into the greased pan and let it brown on both sides. It can be stuffed with cheese, chicken, meat, fish and vegetables, making it a great option for both breakfast and dinner.
3. Tapioca
Like bread, tapioca is rich in carbohydrates and you should be moderated when using it, as its excess can end up making you fat. The recommended weight loss is to consume only 1 tapioca per day, which should be made with a maximum of 3 tablespoons of gum.
Because it is a versatile food, it can be included at any time of the day, and the best option is to fill it with foods rich in protein, such as eggs, cheese, meat and chicken. See which foods are high in protein.
4. Crepioca
Crepioca is a mixture of bread and omelet that has been widely used to help with weight loss, besides being very simple and quick to make:
Ingredients:
- 1 egg2 tablespoons of tapioca gum (or 1 tablespoon of gum + 1 tablespoon of oats).1 / 2 col of curd soupFilling to taste1 pinch of salt and spices to taste
Method of preparation:
In a deep container, beat the egg with a fork until smooth. Add the starch, curd and spices and mix well, leading to brown on both sides in the greased skillet.
The filling can also be added directly to the dough before taking it to the frying pan, making the crepe pop out like an omelet, or it can be added only at the end, like a bread filling.
5. Couscous
Couscous or corn dough is a typical dish from Northeast Brazil, being very easy to make and versatile. It is naturally gluten free, gives great satiety and combines very well with all types of filling, such as meats, eggs, chicken, dried meat and baked cheeses.
About 6 tablespoons of couscous is equivalent to 2 slices of bread.
6. Natural yogurt with oats
Swapping bread for plain yogurt with oats helps to bring more fiber to the meal, increase the feeling of satiety and also provide protein and calcium to the body.
In addition, natural yogurt is rich in beneficial bacteria for the intestine, being important to replenish the intestinal flora, while oats is rich in inulin, a type of fiber that works as food for intestinal bacteria beneficial to the health of the body. See all the health benefits of oats.
7. Omelet
Using omelets as an option for breakfast or dinner is a great option to reduce carbohydrate consumption and help you lose weight. In addition, the eggs stuffed with meat, chicken or vegetables from the omelet form a combination rich in proteins that prolong the feeling of satiety after the meal.
If necessary, one should prefer to add oats or flaxseed flour in small amounts to the dough in the omelet, so it becomes richer in fibers, which improve intestinal transit and ward off hunger. Find out how many eggs you can eat each day without harming your health.
