Gluten-free bread alternatives/You know you eat too much white wheat bread and you’d be better off replacing it with some healthy alternative, but you’ve tried to quit and you feel like not eating bread is the worst punishment imaginable.

Consuming wheat bread has represented one of the alternatives to complement the daily diet, although new options have been developed to consume this food, since wheat can be counterproductive for some people.

Yes, the blessed bread is like your worst partner (you know it hurts you but you can’t leave it).
This article is special for all those who cannot live without bread. I WAS LIKE THAT!! Today I tell you what changed, and how I have managed to replace bread in my meals.

What is wheat bread?

Wheat bread, or white bread, is made from wheat. It is a food that results from the cooking of a dough that is obtained by the mixture of refined flour, salt, water and in some cases egg and yeast.
Can’t resist the bread?Yes, I know that feeling.

It’s like being Po and literally becoming able to do anything for bread:But you know what? There is light beyond the tunnel and, indeed, life without bread is wonderful!

Unlike what I usually do, today I am not going to talk about scientific studies but about something experiential.

I’m going to tell you what I’ve seen happen with the people who do it (you’ll tell me if you identify), and how it has been for me: how I did it, how I carry it, why, my opinion, what I have been able to observe.

Why is white bread so addictive?

The people to whom this addiction happens with bread are people to whom bread hurts, because nothing that causes us an addictive behavior can be good for us.There are people who don’t care about bread (blessed are they). They don’t care about sugar. They don’t care about French fries. There are people who do not have this reaction with this type of food.

But there are people, like you and me, that these foods do produce addictive behavior:

I’m not talking about just taking away the bread and going hungry (never going hungry!). But to replace it with healthy foods that you are surely needing and that you are not consuming in the right amount because this addictive food (bread) is taking away the possibility.

Because the only thing you want to eat is bread, you don’t get full if you don’t eat bread, you can eat anything and food doesn’t leave you enough satisfaction because you didn’t have bread.

When you displace that addictive food with really healthy foods, you discover a new world full of well-being.And if you think that “it is not healthy to eliminate food from the diet”, let me tell you that I do not know the first person whose health has worsened because they stopped eating bread.

People who stop eating white bread always improve their health, here is an explanation 100% of the people I’ve seen (including myself, of course) who have stopped eating white bread in the way it’s normally eaten have experienced improvement.

Of course, you will see this after having spent a few days of “detoxification” in which a kind of “withdrawal syndrome” develops.Once you pass this stage (which lasts a few days) you realize that you no longer need it.

Your body recovers its natural, healthy state, without addiction, and there you no longer need the blessed

You free yourself from the need to eat this food that produces this reaction of addiction,
And your body, which for whatever reason does not proceed well that food (and that is why it causes addiction), no longer has that problem and begins to function much better.

How to replace wheat bread?

Here are 10 options, which can mitigate the anxiety of eating wheat flour bread and that may be safer for your well-being, especially if you are intolerant to wheat gluten:

1-Oatmeal bread

Eating oatmeal bread is an excellent food option for celiacs, since it is a type of bread that is gluten-free. In addition, oats are one of the cereals that contain beta-glucans, compounds that can strengthen the immune system and help eliminate cancer cells.

Thanks to the benefits of oatmeal, oatmeal bread can be a healthy option, since its nutritional and chemical compounds can represent some benefits to your body such as:

strengthening the cardiovascular system, reducing cholesterol and blood sugar levels, in addition to promoting gastrointestinal function.

You should know: Oats contain proteins called avenins, which being a very small concentration, can represent intestinal problems to celiacs, but if and only if consumed in large quantities.

2-Rice bread

Another way to replace white bread is to use rice in the form of flour. The rice grain is another of the cereals that in its natural form, in addition to having a high carbohydrate content, is ideal for a gluten-free diet.

3.Cauliflower bread

Now we present another alternative to replace white bread and is to make cauliflower bread. A serving of cauliflower bread can equal an entire serving of vegetables, even a slice of cauliflower bread can improve the nutritional value of your meal, thanks to the contribution of nutrients of this vegetable and its added ingredients. 

Eating cauliflower bread can benefit your body, first of all it does not contain gluten and also provides vitamins, minerals, water and other chemical compounds necessary for the functioning of the body such as cardiovascular protection, reducing the negative impact of free radicals, strengthening the immune system and promoting intestinal health.

4. Corn tortillas

Corn tortillas are one of the traditional food foods of some American countries, but with greater presence in Mexico. Yellow grain corn is a cereal that also does not contain gluten and the corn tortilla has a low glycemic index. 

This cereal has an interesting content of vitamins and minerals  which make it essential to include it in people’s daily diet. The traditional Mexican corn tortilla is prepared with nixtamalized yellow corn flour, from which a dough is obtained and cooked in a comal, pan or budare.

5. Rye bread

Rye bread is one of the foods with a great contribution of fibers and proteins, without gluten content, in addition to rye flour contains a large amount of minerals and vitamins.  

So the consumption of rye bread, in addition to protecting the body, provides nutrients that are necessary for many human metabolic functions, and this food does not cause any discomfort in the digestive system.

6. Buckwheat bread

Buckwheat is a pseudocereal which is also known as buckwheat. This bread turns out to be beneficial for celiacs, because it does not have gluten and also contains high quality proteins, essential amino acids and a low glycemic index being ideal for diabetics. Being rich in fiber improves the health of the intestines fighting constipation. 

Benefits of replacing bread with other foods

Throughout my adult life I had had a lot of symptoms of ill health that I thought were normal in me. He attributed it to genes, pregnancy, age… or simply to a natural condition of my body that was like that and that I would not change.

Less dry skin, constipation, and cravings are some benefits of stopping eating

• Healthier skin
• Ease of weight loss
• No more constipation
• Free from cravings and anxiety to eat
• It’s not a matter of willpower

Why does bread cause so many problems in the body?

Theory 1: Gluten

Although there are many people (specialists and professionals included) who swear that gluten is more evil than Thanos, and that everyone should eat a gluten-free diet (which can be perfectly healthy), the truth is that scientific studies about it are still very controversial, and do not show conclusive results.

In other words, there is no clear and conclusive proof that gluten does indeed harm.

However, there is some evidence that there is something called non-celiac gluten sensitivity:

there seem to be some people who, without being celiac, have negative symptoms when they consume foods that contain gluten, but not when they consume other foods rich in carbohydrates (other cereals, tubers or grains) that do not contain gluten.

At the moment it is not known why it happens, but perhaps it is related to genetics, the intestinal microbiota, or you will know what else.

Testing this theory, about a year ago I stopped eating wheat-based foods. I had already left the bread, but I was still eating wheat-based things, such as couscus or pasta (all whole grain).

So I stopped eating all those things frequently, replacing it with rice, oatmeal, sweet potato, potatoes, quinoa, corn, lentils, chickpeas, etc.

Result? I have noticed that I feel better.

For some, bread hurts us

And when we leave it we live much better!

• The person who could not lose weight, loses weight
• The one who had constipation, the intestinal transit is regulated
• Those who live slaves to cravings are taken away and freed
• Those who spend it tired, recover their energy
• Many digestive diseases disappear (reflux, heartburn, gas, abdominal bloating)
• And it even greatly relieves depression or depressive symptoms.

How to Stop Eating Bread: The Process Step by Step

We have our whole lives eating one way and that doesn’t change overnight.

• Stage 1: White bread is bad, I will eat whole wheat bread.
• Stage 2: Whole wheat bread isn’t that good either, I’ll make my own bread.
• Stage 3: The Force Awakens

In this way you leave the bread to the extent that you realize that the less you eat the better you feel, that you are no longer needing it so much.

Gluten-Free Bread Alternatives to wheat bread

What I just told you refers to white bread, the one that “normal” people eat, let’s say. In the house we never buy it, and we only eat white bread or flour on exceptional occasions: if one day we want to make pizza (once every 3 months), it causes us to have croissants for breakfast (once every 6 months), or there is a birthday (in which case we eat normal cake), or things like that.

So, what do we eat?

Here are my favorite options:

• Rye bread (black bread)
• Buckwheat or black wheat galettes
• Wasa
• Puffed corn cakes
• Oats in flakes or flakes

In conclusion…

Whether you want to give up bread, you’ve already left it, or you can’t imagine a life possible without your delicious and adored bread, the idea is simply to learn how to eat in a healthier way, with more natural foods, that actually do you good. Food that your body has been needing all these years and that you had not been giving them.

When you do it your body improves, it rebalances, fat is lost naturally, and you feel great.

And notice that stopping eating bread doesn’t mean stopping eating carbs. The problem is (according to me) the nefarious and malefic combination between the fact that it is a cereal with gluten and that it is a refined flour with a very high GI. This produces poor insulin response, irritation at the intestinal level, and all the consequences that come with it.

Key Takeaways

• The replacement of wheat bread is often due to the fact that there are people who are allergic or intolerant to refined wheat flour.
• The substitution of bread made with wheat flour is to offer other healthier options that cause less discomfort to celiac people and that contain less caloric load.
• The consumption of vegetables is the most viable option to replace white bread.
• Gluten-free foods also promote the cardiovascular, digestive and metabolic health of the body.
