Easy carb swaps MAKE WEIGHT LOSS A SNAP
You don’t have to give up all grains to reboot your body’s appetite-control system. These complex carbs quash hunger and speed slimming!
FOR BREAKFAST
Spelt cereal
An ancient grain that is slower to digest than wheat, corn or rice, spelt doesn’t pull hunger hormones out of whack. And its slightly sweet, nutty flavor makes it great for breakfast.
Try: Arrowhead
Mills Spelt
Flakes, or Bob’s
Red Mill rolled spelt, which cooks up like oats.
FOR LUNCH
Sprouted bread
Sprouting wheat breaks down starches, so it takes longer to digest and doesn’t disrupt hunger hormone production.
Find nutty-tasting sprouted breads in the frozenfood aisle.
Try: Food for Life
Ezekiel brand.
FOR DINNER
Soba noodles
“Buckwheat may appear to be a grain, but it’s actually a vegetable,” says Noel Maclaren, M.D. That’s why it doesn’t trigger hunger. Try: buckwheat noodles
(also called soba) in the international aisle of supermarkets.
