161. Listener question: What about flour?

Reducing or cutting sugar is usually seen as something positive (if a little marginal). And sugary or sweet foods are relatively easy to spot.
But recently, I've been getting this question from my listeners: What about flour?

And: Why don't you eat flour, Netta?

Because that means no bread, no crackers, no bagels, no pasta... Wait! So how do you make a sandwich? What do you put your spaghetti sauce on?
 
And what's wrong with flour anyway?
 
Well... There's nothing wrong with flour! If eating foods that contain flour makes you feel good - carry on!
But for some of us, foods made with flour affect our body or our behaviour in a way that makes us suffer.

So in this episode, you'll learn:

  • that eating flour-based foods affects each person differently
  • how I feel when I eat foods that are made with flour
  • how flour is metabolized by the body
  • the similarity of flour and sugar
  • the difference between whole grains and powdered grains
  • which types of foods contain flour
  • whether or not you should eat flour (this is a tricky one!)
