Not all carbs are created equal.
When choosing bread, cereal, tortillas, crackers, or other carbohydrate-rich foods, try this simple label-reading rule:
Look for:
• At least 4 grams of fiber per serving
• Less sugar than fiber per serving
Why?
Fiber helps slow digestion, supports a healthier blood sugar response, promotes fullness, and feeds a healthy gut microbiome. Choosing higher-fiber carbohydrates is an easy way to improve the quality of the carbs you eat—without necessarily eliminating them.
