Bread is an important carbohydrate
Due to mainly aesthetic demands, people have come to vehemently condemn all types of carbohydrates. However, carbohydrates such as rice, pasta and bread are very important for our body due to their glucose content. That's because we need glucose, which serves as a source of energy, a kind of fuel for our functioning. That way, you can eat bread very calmly, knowing that by eating the food you are fueling yourself.
And as for the question of getting fat, we know that all carbohydrates carry the risk of getting fat, but bread is not the most dangerous of carbohydrates. On the contrary, several other carbohydrates, such as stuffed pasta, for example, have a high caloric content and can make you fat.
Bread is fattening only in large quantities
That's right! In order for you to gain weight eating bread, you would need to eat several units daily. Therefore, eating food in a moderate and healthy way, even daily, does not promote the risk of gaining weight. Also, eating bread in large quantities, when associated with a sedentary routine, will certainly make you put on weight.
Therefore, the ideal is that the amount of bread ingested is, whenever possible, accompanied by physical exercises. However, pay attention to what you have with your bread on a daily basis, as there are those who do not consume it with butter alone. When consumed with a variety of cheeses, hams, bologna, hamburgers and fried foods in general, there will be much more calories.
Therefore, consuming your bread in moderate amounts and without exaggerating the fillings and accompaniments, you are free of guilt!
