If you’re looking to get lean, you don’t have to turn your back on bread. There are several varieties that can help you stick to your goals. Plus, they’re ideal if you want to tighten your purse strings, as well as your trouser belt, because you can just toss a few sandwiches in your bag for work instead of spending cash at the canteen.
Here are the four top-performing loaves.
1. Rye bread
It’s wheat-free and can help reduce bloating and stomach discomfort. Research in the Nutrition Journal also found it decreases hunger throughout the day, making it the perfect cravings buster.
2. Flaxseed bread
Flaxseed is an excellent tool to aid weight loss and lower cholesterol. Adding flaxseed to your diet can naturally reduce cholesterol levels, according to the journal Nutrition and Metabolism, keeping you healthy on the inside.
3. Ezekiel bread
This is bread made from grains that have begun the germination process and sprouted roots. It’s during this period that the grains provide their densest nutritional benefits, providing you with more vitamins and minerals.

4. Whole-wheat bread
Whole-wheat bread packs all the nutritional punch of wheat kernels, and men who included three daily servings of it in their diet lowered their risk of heart disease, according to research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Best sandwich fillers
These types of bread are best served as an open sandwich, and a moist filling works best to negate their tough texture.
Try the following:
- Tuna mayonnaise with sweetcorn and diced gherkins
- Coronation chicken
- Pesto and yogurt chicken
