cut me another slice please!

You’ll be relieved to hear that this is not a gluten-free diet. Yippee! I definitely could not live without bread… buttery crumpets, toast and marmalade on a Saturday morning, sourdough and smashed avocado in the local hip cafe, chunky croutons in my soup… I could go on (seriously). However there are a few groundrules to follow:

1. no seedy, high fibre, or brown bread
2. ideally no commercial yeast, instead choose naturally leavened sourdough
3. the less processed and sugar laden the better (meaning no blueberry bagels, fruit loaf etc)
4. stay clear of rye and other black breads

Choose a chunky slice of sourdough with a slick of honey, or a hot white pitta filled with oozy (grass-fed) butter, or even a flaky croissant from your local bakery – bet you didn’t believe this would be my advice! And don’t worry about getting enough fiber in your diet, we’ll get that elsewhere (leafy green veg, some beans/legumes, occasional fruit).
