it seems like the new craze is eating whole grain to help you lose weight but just because a product says it is whole grain doesn't mean it's actually a good choice.
i've picked up products that claim to have oh-so-many grams of whole grain but the first ingredient is whole grain wheat FLOUR and there are only 1-2 grams of fiber per serving. if a product is made from flour, that means it's highly processed and all the good stuff has been stripped out. and if it has less than 3 grams of fiber per serving then you can be absolutely certain that you are eating shit.
a little tip: when choosing your grains, look for products with lots of fiber (at least 3 grams per serving). don't fall into the "whole grain" trap. **you can lose weight by eating a white bagel OR 2 slices of whole grain bread with 6+ grams of fiber BUT the fiberful bread will last longer in your system and you will be able to hold out longer until your next meal.
happy eating! xo
