Spelt bread is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It contains less gluten than wheat bread, which makes it easier to digest for people with gluten intolerance. In addition, spelt bread has a lower glycemic index than white bread, which means it causes a slower and more controlled rise in blood sugar levels.
Although spelt bread is healthier than many other types of bread, it is still important to keep an eye on the amount you eat if you want to lose weight. Bread still contains calories, and excessive consumption can lead to weight gain. Therefore, it is important to eat the right amount as part of a balanced diet.
Enjoy your homemade spelt bread as part of a healthy meal, combined with fresh vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats to promote a balanced diet and help with weight loss.
