Are rusks (Dry Bread) more fattening than bread?

"Eliminate bread  and you will lose weight" they say everywhere, yet there is no need to cut bread to maintain your figure!

"It is common these days for people that diet, to question various rumors about excluding bread from their caloric intake, however, there is no scientific evidennce that it works for weight loss " says Clinical dietitian Nutritionist Michael Makryllos.

The Right consumption of  bread is not fattening:
 There are no fattening foods or foods that make you slimmer. "It should be clear that the issue of weight management depends exclusively on the total daily caloric intake. A properly balanced diet must be characterized by moderation and variety, based on all  food groups," explains Clinical Dietitian Nutritionist Michael Makyllos .
Indeed, the fluffy and delicious bread will help you reduce fat from your body. "Dietary fiber contained in  bread, if taken in moderation reduces fat absorption, improves bowel function and blood sugar levels,"says Mr. Makryllos.

Dark  or white bread?So it is up to you to choose the right whole grain bread "Breads made from whole grains are better than " white " refined breads, which contain much less (dietary) fiber."

Bread vs Rusks
Compared to rusks,  bread has fewer calories per 100 grams of weight because it contains more water and has no added  fat or sugar (which may be added to  rusks).
-100 gr. of rusks contain about  341 calories while a slice of  white bread has only 269 gr.  and 243 gr. for whole wheat.
It was believed that  bread should be replaced by rusks.    However, it is proven that  the opposite is true. Besides, you should not forget that rusks- toast is simply "dehydrated bread" therefore bread is preferable, since it tastes better and has fewer calories, than rusks.
So choose from the wide variety of breads that can be found at your local bakery:
- The common (white) bread  with 70% refined type flour without bran.
- The rye bread made from a mixture of wheat flour and rye flour.
- The whole wheat bread  prepared by grinding whole wheat (with peel) and
- The whole-multi-grain bread made from the whole grain, such as wheat, barley, rye, oats and corn.
Just note that anything less processed is more nutritious, and better when counting calories.
