Just eat stone ground whole wheat bread and stay away from the white, bleached, enriched and refined variety.0

And fish, and oil, and butter/marge, and uh... uh.... turkey! Oh man, does Metamucil have carbs?0 -
I agree with your trainer. Cutting back on bread and other carbohydrates can help a lot with controlling blood sugar and with weight loss. The others on this thread are correct in saying that it needs to be done along with other steps, but bread and highly refined carbohydrates is a great place to cut back. Wheat may be a natural product, but white flour is a highly processed form of bread in which many of its best and most nutritious elements have been lost. Check out Michael Pollan's wonderful book, Cooked, and read the first third chapter on the history of how bread has been made.

Bread in itself isn't bad, but the way it is made and consumed in our society has helped contribute a lot to our obesity problems today.0 -
Rule #1: Never, ever take nutrition advice from a trainer.
It's not their area of expertise. If you want nutrition advice, see a registered dietitian.0 -

Not everyone has issues controlling blood sugar… Usually only those with diabetes, insulin resistance, and hypoglycemia do.0 -
From what I've read you should really stay away from gluten free foods unless you have to... Because they add or subtract other nutrients. Normal bread is healthier. Jeez I'm not being a great help, it's just something I vaguely remember reading about.
I very rarely eat bread, but when I do its rye sourdough.

No... excess caloric intake from excessively large portions plus excessive(ly large portions of) high calorie, low volume food PLUS lack of exercise = fat Earth. Not bread.0 -
Cutting carbs can be helpful to reach a deficit, but it's not necessary to lose weight.
Do your own research (peer reviewed scientific studies, not blog or scare sites) with an open mind and decide what you want to do, and make sure it's something you can sustain long term. Here's a good place to start: http://www.nih.gov/
Don't blindly listen to your trainer. Or us

But what about whole wheat bread? That's not a quick jolt of super refined carbs any more. Your body takes longer to break it down, meaning longer satiety and leveler blood sugar. I switched to whole wheat personally and am having good results. I mean.... you can give up bread if you like but it seems kind of drastic!0

I've cut out bread in my diet and within 2 days noticed my stomach had shrunk a whole inch. (Yes I measured it). I think mainly due to bloating. If I do have bread now, like occasionally at BBQ's I immediately notice discomfort and bloating.
I say give it a try for at least a week. At first it seems impossible, but if it starts having a positive effect on you , you won't look back.
If it does nothing, you can go back to eating bread.0 -
I get paid to paid to work in a gym and don't believe it's necessary to do the things she said. Does my opinion negate hers since we are both paid trainers?Nope she said to limit and be careful how much fruit im eating too and try substitute with vegetables instead. YeS she said try cut out all the un needed calories.. I didn't ask for anyone's arrogance.. She gets paid to make people healthy in a gym if she was all wrong she wouldn't be working there.Carbs turn into sugar..
Do fruits and vegetables turn into sugar?
Quoting for those on mobile.
Also my ex was a trainer at a gym. Without a certification in personal training. So just another reason not to take nutrition advise from a trainer

It's incredibly annoying. And I still don't see the point in advertising someones "naughtiness" by putting bars over their avatar???
