Can heating bread really reduce calories?
Yes! Here’s how:
When bread is heated, particularly toasted or cooled after baking, it becomes resistant starch. This means your body doesn’t absorb as many calories. This trick works best with whole grain or sourdough bread. Heating alters the starch composition, helping you eat fewer calories while still enjoying your favorite foods. However, avoid highly processed bread—stick to natural varieties for the best results.
