Want to be healthy and thin and still eat muffins?
So did we.
Successful long-term weight loss requires a strategy for dealing with sweet carbs. Most of us crave them, and powerfully. The solution? Satisfy those cravings with healthy real food.
With our fresh-ground, whole food approach to baking, you can enjoy satisfying sweet baked goods that actually contribute to your health and weight goals, rather than sabotaging them. The same important qualities that make GRAINSTORM healthy also makes them helpful in weight loss and weight control—high nutrient density, slower digestability, natural fats and moderate sugar.
How GRAINSTORM helps with weight control
- satisfies your sweet carb cravings with healthy, real food, so you’re less tempted to reach for something bad
- helps recalibrate your taste buds to natural flavours and moderate levels of sugar
- delivers your sweet fix bundled with proteins, healthy fats and lots of fiber—real food—so your body is satisfied along with your taste buds and you don’t get as hungry (try that with your average white flour, high sugar “low-fat” muffin!)
- doesn’t spike your insulin response so you can break the destructive cycle of blood sugar highs and lows that cause you to feel lousy and crave more bad carbs
It’s important to understand that GRAINSTORM is not “diet food” in the modern sense—low-fat or low-carb, etc. Quite the opposite. We believe (as do most progressive nutritional thinkers) that a whole food philosophy of natural balance and minimal processing is best—get as close to nature as possible. You might say GRAINSTORM is “low-processing”.
In our direct experience, losing weight is just a natural consequence of eating a moderate whole food diet. After all, consider the misguided “war on fat” over the last three decades: it has made us significantly fatter as we cook less and consume more and more processed convenience foods. The three staples of our North American eating obsession have become white flour, sugar (in dozens of industrial processed forms) and cheap highly refined (and unnatural) oils. We consume each of these virtual non-foods in ridiculous quantities and then worry about getting the “low-fat version”. This is why “diet” food makes us fat. Confusion is rampant.
GRAINSTORM is the opposite of modern “diet” food. And that’s why it can help you manage your weight. You get natural, earthy sustenance—the kind the human body is genetically adapted to; the way it was before we started wrecking our food.
