Why it helps
Whole grains usually have more fibre and tend to feel more filling. A single swap is easy to repeat.
How to do it
- Check the label for 'whole grain' as the first ingredient.
- Pick one starchy food for a meal.
- Notice how it tastes and how you feel later.
Make it easier
Mix half whole-grain with half of your usual.
Make it harder
Make whole grains your default for the week.
Avoid any ingredients you are allergic to or sensitive to.
