How bad is bread
Replies

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

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.
i also use to eat 70 calories a day bread, and some days half of my calories would be from bread imagine that x___x.
the cleanse was necessary. i did the elliot hulse cleanse lost almost a lb a day for 2 weeks. and it was, it was hell....but im going to do it again in may
no it was not …
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….
ehhhh maybe thats def possible. but im incredibly impatient (im working on that aspect) but i dont plan on being very big for very long...maybe 3-4 more at the most
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 -

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 -

Yes. I don't understand what you don't get about this. I've seen you on other threads before. Any bread is fine if it fits into your calorie deficit.0 -

I think most people in here would agree that the bread you're eating is perfectly fine if a) you like it and b) it fits into your calorie/macro goals.
There is no "bad" bread, just like there is no fantastical, magic bread.

Do you enjoy eating the bread you're eating? Then it's ok. Is there another bread you enjoy eating more? Then that one is "even gooder". Just enjoy it in moderation.
IMO, the only time bread is bad is when there's no Vegemite in the cupboard.0 -
If you're truly concerned with how "good" your bread is, make it at home, from scratch, so you don't have any fillers. Otherwise, eat the bread, but be aware of the amount of bread you are packing in. The end.0

alright sounds good, lower the calories the better tho for me0 -
OP: bread is not bad, per se. Bread may or may not make your weight loss easier.
And, given that, some bread may make your journey easier. FOR ME: a 100% whole grain bread is preferable. A bread with less sugar and NO HFCS is preferable. A bread with more fiber is preferable. For me, the above makes it easier to eat within my goals because I feel more full, more satiated, and have fewer cravings. I also prefer a bread with a shorter ingredient list. And I prefer a bread without unnecessary ingredients. Your grandmother's bread, if you will. YMMV.0 -

sounds like a great thing to learn how to do!
i just dont have the time now, its on my to do list tho0 -
Bread is only as bad as the number of calories it puts you over your deficit. Seriously.
Having said that, I personally find that cutting down on carbs (all carbs, not just bread) and increasing fat and protein really helps me feel full, but I'm on like 1300 calories so I need to pay extra attention to this. YMMV.0
