The answer to the question is what kind of bread on a diet is not clear-cut and is “it depends”. On what? Among other things, whether we want to lose or gain weight or have a known gluten allergy. It also depends on our age or health (some diseases require an individual diet).

The best solution for people on a slimming diet will be wholemeal bread or sourdough rye bread. People who want to gain weight can alternate between wheat and whole-grain bread or mixed bread. In the case of people with various diseases or allergies, it is best to consult with a doctor about the choice of bread. Whole-grain and wholemeal bread are also not recommended for young children and in excess for the elderly because it is difficult to digest.
