how are granola bars as a carb source?

Bro I used to eat whole wheat bread thinking it was low GI...but most whole wheats are enriched just like white bread.

Try to find "whole grain" whole wheat and check the ingredients and make sure it doesn't say enriched.

Man, that sucks. I didn't know that. I've been eating "12 grain" bread for some time now. I thought it was low gi. But it says "enriched flour" on the ingredients. Might as well have been eating french bread all this time.

Doesn't that piss you off? Luckily I had a nutritionist friend who warned me about that. Wheat bread is supposed to be healthy, then these companies turn it around and make it just as bad as white bread.

Great info guys, good to know. Are we better off with whole wheat bread from bakery sections? I have been eating the "Heath Nut" which I thought would have EFA, prot., and low GI, any input on that one?

you can eat whole grain brea from the super market just make sure the 1st ingredient isnt enriched whole wheat flour. if it says enriched u dont want it bc its the same shit as white bread. Ive been eating arnold's whole wheat bread its 70 cal a slice with 12 carbs and 2g fiber a slice
