Better Bread for Fat Loss?

Coconut Wraps

Many people looking to lose weight and drop body fat are looking for better bread.


Specifically, a bread that won't increase their blood glucose level.


The problem is that all grains significantly increase blood glucose levels.


But, what if we don't use bread at all?


How about a wrap made from coconut?


(Watch video: I ate Coconut Wraps and this is what happened)

I found Coconut wraps and wanted to put them to the test.

I wanted to find out how much it affects my blood glucose.

When Were Wraps Invented?

The wrap in its Western form probably comes from California, as a generalization of the Mexican and Tex-Mex burrito, and became popular in the 1990s.


It may have been invented and named at a southern California chain called "I Love Juicy" in the early 1980s.

Label:

The packaging reads:

Raw, Vegan, Paleo.

What does this mean to you?

Very little - ignore it.

Ingredients:

  • Coconut meat (fancy way of saying coconut)

  • Coconut water

  • Coconut Oil

Nutritional Label:

  • Protein - 1g

  • Fat - 5g

  • Carbs - 6g

The consistency feels waxy in nature.


If you were to put a liquid or oil on it, I do not believe it would absorb quickly.


But the good news is that it smells like bread.

Using the Dexcom G6 CGM (continuous glucose monitor) implanted into my shoulder, I measured my results.


Summary


  • Baseline Glucose: 104mg/dl

  • 20 min: 103 mg/dl down 1

  • 40 min: 105mg/dl - up 2 mg/dl

  • 90 min: 98mg/dl - down 6 mg/dl


*No major changes at all across time.

What does all this mean?


It is possible to have a good-for-you, low glycemic wrap.


However, it's not a grain.


It's made from coconuts!


They can be used to incorporate into a low glycemic index, low insulin diet.
