Shopping Guide

Breads to Buy
When shopping for whole-grain breads, it's important to read between the lines on the labels. Terms like "natural whole-grain goodness," "whole wheat" (as opposed to "100% whole wheat"), "enriched wheat flour," and "unbleached flour" may mean that the bread is actually made with refined flour, which is high on the glycemic index. Look for labels that say "100% whole wheat," and carry a high fiber content (at least 3 grams per slice). Here are some brands South Beach Dietâ„¢ nutritionists recommend.
