P2 what am i looking for...

WatermelonMist · 06-23-2005, 07:41 PM

Ladies-
As I prepare to go to the store for P2 I want to know what I am looking for in products. I printed out the list of breads and cereals but am wondering if I come across tortillas or something of that sort what am I looking on the label for...
no hydrongenated oils
saturated fats
bleached, enriched, or processed flour

anything else? I don't understand the whole bleached unbleached flour thing! My fiance has some crackers he wants me to ask you ladies about with the ingredients, they are Kashi 7 grain or something of that sort but I don't have time right now to get the ingredients because I'm off to the store. I just am going to go get the things I know, but on my next trip am wondering about what to be checking labels for. The flour thing especially! Thanks!

i found this info in another post from a while ago.... maybe this will help more

Why are whole-grain breads better for you than breads made with enriched or refined flour? One reason is that whole-grain breads have a lower glycemic index. Another is that whole grains contain phytochemicals that may help cut the risk of heart disease and cancer. If you're in Phase 2 of the diet and can start eating bread again, here are some good brands to buy:

Pepperidge Farm:
100% Stoneground Whole Wheat
Natural Whole Grain 9 Grain
Natural Whole Grain German Dark Wheat
Pepperidge Farm Natural Whole Grain Crunchy Grains or Multi-Grain

Rubschlager:
European Style Whole Grain
100% Rye Rye-Ola Sunflower
100% Rye Rye-Ola Rye
100% Rye Rye-Ola Pumpernickle

Brownberry:
100% Whole Wheat
Natural 12 Grain
Natural Oatnut

Other:
Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat Bread
Mrs. Baird's 100% Whole Wheat
Roman Meal 100% Whole Wheat
Arnold 100% Whole Wheat
