Another good brand from the grocery store is Matthew's; I don't know if they're regional or national. The bread looks like whole grain should look; but the slices are smaller than the Arnold's, and I wonder if Matthew's labeling showing lower carbs might have something to do with the smaller portion size...

Full of opinions this afternoon!

it's in Super Walmart if you have one. Just read the labels for whole wheat or whole grain bread. The one at Super Walmart I got is made by Marita and says Country %100 whole wheat bread. But I'm not a big bread lover. My down fall is with sweets...

I think the book says that to caution people against believing that anything that says "wheat bread" is whole wheat bread. Many of the "wheat breads" are just made with unbleached wheat flour...no less refined and no better for you than white bread. The breads others listed here, however, are safe. There are many others, too. Just read the labels and make sure they 100% whole wheat (or other grains) flour and not "wheat flour" or "enriched wheat flour".


Soemone else posted about other grains being more healthy even than wheat, itself, because there are others that are less refined and harder to digest. I think it goes that white flour is worse, whole wheat is better (and acceptable on the SBD), and some other grains may be even better (and acceptable on the SBD). Please correct me if I'm wrong on that one!
