Test Your Carb Tolerance with a Saltine Cracker?

How many carbs can you eat in a day to maintain or lose weight? Well, this simple, unsalted cracker might just tell you. That is according to Dr. Sharon Moalem, who proposed in his book, The DNA Restart, that the speed at which a saltine cracker breaks down in your mouth determines how well your body breaks down carbohydrates and, therefore, how many you can eat in a day without suffering consequences like weight gain.

You might be thinking, that sounds silly. I agree. It does sound silly. But I listened to his book and his argument, and I was intrigued enough to eat a few crackers.

If you are intrigued as well, watch this video, learn the mechanism behind the experiment, try it at home, and let me know your results and your thoughts.

And if you are skeptical of this method, I will discuss other ways to determine your carb tolerance. So, let’s get started.
