A day before the procedure, the participants need to fast 8 to 10 hours prior to experiment and not allow to drink or eat within the time given. The next day, before the procedure start, participants will need to do anthropometry which they need to weigh using weigh scale and measure height. Later, the researcher will calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI) to ensure the participants weight within normal range 18.4 to 24.9 kg/m² as stated in inclusion criteria to be part of the study. Those participants do not meet with BMI requirements will be excluded from this study. Next, participants need to take blood glucose level using glucometer for pre-prandial glucose reading as a baseline. Later, participants need to pick a paper that may label as A or B inside the box. The participants will be divided equally into two groups which are control group and intervention groups. The participants be in a group label as A and B and the breads will be distributed according to their labels. The researcher and participants will not know types of breads wrapped in A or B (double blinded). The breads will be packed by breads company X that will provide the packaging for the breads. Only the breads supplier will know the packaging A and B consists of which types of breads. The participants will be provided either whole grain breads or white breads. Intervention group is the low GI bread which refers to bread that has a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to high-GI bread. Low GI made from wholegrain. Low GI bread refer as bread made using at least 80% of whole grains. Participants are not allowed to drink water within 2 hours after consuming breads. Within 2 hours after eating the breads, post-prandial blood sugar reading will be taken. The results obtained will be collected and filled in the form. Participants will be expected to eat 2 slices (100g) of bread with no topping.
