I went on a cleanse that cut me off from bread for 2 weeks, needless to say i was going crazy but it was worth, lost alot of weight but now im concerned about how bad it could be for me. Is there any good bread to eat?
i recently went and bought 35 calorie bread: http://www.healthylifebread.com/pages/original/100-whole-wheat-bread.php
this stuff^^
instead of mothers bread or the usual store brand name bread and im trying to eat as little as possible yet somehow ill still consume up as much as 8 slices a day! i know i need to cut back some but if I have to choose my poison whats the best kind to eat?

Bread is only bad if it's gone moldy0

bread is not bad... white, wheat, whole grain, sourdough, rye whatever you want is not bad... what is bad is overconsumption of most foods0

bread is not bad….what is bad is a calorie surplus that makes you gain weight…
and a two week cleanse is unnecessary unless your liver and kidneys stopped working for two weeks….

There is nothing wrong with bread if it fits into your calorie and macro goals. If the lower-calorie bread fits into your day, and you can eat more of it, I say stick with that if you like it. My favorite is Nature's Own Honey Wheat bread - 70 calories per slice but I usually only have one slice as toast with breakfast in the mornings, and occasionally I'll make a sandwich with it.
No need for a cleanse either, and two weeks without bread sounds like hell on earth to me.0 -
Bread is not bad. Eating 8 slices a day would not be helpful in helping me meet my macro and calorie deficit goals though. That's a lot of damn bread.0

How bad is bread? It's awful. Horrible. Terrible, really.
Send it all to me. *nods* I'll take one for the team.0 -

the only time bread is bad is when there is no gravy or marinara sauce to soak up with said bread….0 -
Foods aren't bad - unless it is moldy or something - then it can be bad. 8 slices a day wouldn't fit into my calories and nutritional needs, but if it fits in yours then eat it. I am a fan of bread.0

Aw I should have worked 8 slices of bread and gravy into my day instead of one and a half chocolate bars. Next time.0 -

Why was the cleanse necessary? Cleanses are not necessary.0 -

you should not have to torture yourself for two weeks to lose 14 pounds and I am going to guarantee that 7-10 pounds of that was water weight….0 -

You've been around the boards long enough that you should know cleanses are unnecessary. Your liver and kidneys already do that.0 -

I don't understand why it would be necessary to lose that much weight so quickly. What's wrong with eating at a reasonable deficit and losing at a sustainable rate? You didn't gain all of your weight overnight - no need to lose so quickly.
And I could probably eat half my calories in bread if I tried, lol.0 -
It depends on your goals and what you consider "bad".0

I love bread and it is worth the calories.0

You didn't lose a bunch of weight simply because you cut out bread...you lost weight because you were on some weird cleanse and not taking in much in the way of calories. Bread is just fine so long as you're hitting your calorie goals.0

Bread is good. Some breads are really good. I am partial to the ones made by Brownberry (OroWheat in some parts of the country) that are Double Fiber or Double Protein. Tasty and bump the macros even more (and they are soft enough to make good sandwiches)0

Come back in a week and let us know how much of that water weight you put back on.0

learn patience, seriously …you are just setting yourself up for a vicious cycle of fad diets, losing, gaining, and then repeating…
set MFP to one pound per week loss and do some form of exercise that you enjoy ...0 -

Wtf am I even reading. So much no up in here.
Stop "cleansing". Nothing in your body needs to be cleansed. Eat bread. Stay at a deficit. Be patient. Claiming impatience is not a viable adult excuse for doing silly things to your body that make you unduly miserable.0 -
