"Eating any product made out of white flour causes your blood sugar to spike and then crash—the body recognizes white flour as sugar and stores it completely," Shapiro says. "Because of its effect on your blood sugar, when you crash, you crave more food, specifically in the form of sugar, a total blow to your waistline. There are so many delicious whole wheat breads and pastas on the market, there is no need to waste calories on this dead end food." (That is why we love
Einkorn Wheat Pasta).
