So my trainer recommended cutting bread outta my diet... I was just curious if this also would Include gluten free aswell.. Lol.. Having a hard time with bread so I wa just curious if there both considered the same...
You should probably ask your trainer if they meant every single kind of bread on the planet or not.
I don't think the advice to cut out bread is necessary at all for weight loss a person can live a perfectly fine and healthy life not eating any bread so it is up to you.0 -

Bread is the devil. I gave up bread, because I love it so much. I now eat salads instead of sandwiches. No more toast with Nutella.0

Bread is not a refined sugar. Bread is made from wheat and is as natural as anything you can eat.
As for eliminating gluten, you would have to eliminate most grain from your diet. Even stuff like oats has gluten in it. Personally, I would get tired of eating rice all the time.
I have gluten free kids and a husband for allergy reasons, don't eat a lot of rice either. Was just an ignorant comment. And that wheat bread is not as "natural" as you believe.
sand is natural, guess I should choose that over a GF muffin, amirite?
They might taste the same...
Ive had some bad GF baked goods but i make a wicked good Gf banana bread. My coworkers couldnt tell
Nope, they taste delicious. Udi's, Kinnikinnick, and a few other generic brands make some delicious GF baked goods.
I was kidding
Since GF is trendy there are a lot more options out there for Celiacs to choose from and ive been told the taste has improved.
I havent bought any massed produced GF treat as I can eat gluten but I've baked some and did get a delicious treat from a local bakery in CT.
But thanks for the reminder, maybe what I'll bake tomorrow will be GF to use up my supplies! =]
Oh wasn't sure, lots of people here bag on the GF pre-made stuff haha.
Idk if the taste has improved in general or if it's just that there are better brands coming out, or both.. I have had some breads that tasted SO BAD,like... sour. And soo dense. Now they ar emuch more airy, still denser of course but not sour. Might be certain brands though, but I'm glad it actually tastes good (been GF 5 years, so maybe it's improved in that time?)
I'm about to bake myself a GF protein banana bread, aaah two beautiful things coming together.
From celiacs I know, I know some of the GF stuff out there blows.
Ooo btw, found a recipe for GF baked pumpkin donuts. So those are gonna happen since I have pumpkin to use too lol
This is where I get a bunch of my gluten free recipes

After all this talk of bread, I had to have some. This bread is pretty natural. Six cups of wheat flour, a little yeast, a couple of teaspoons of honey, some salt, two eggs and a little butter. I don't know how you get any more natural than that.0 -
I just love my bread(s) but I have cut them down a lot to get rid of the belly (does not make any different I if heavier or thin). If I have it, I eat whole wheat bread and have for many years. I much prefer whole wheat than white, it gives that chewy thing and doesn't stick to my teeth like white LOL. In all, I eat anything I want as long as it fits into my calories and macros. Enjoy life, it is way too short (I KNOW).0

Mass-produced, fluffy, white sandwich bread is often made with added sugars and the white flour has had it's bran, and much of its fiber, stripped out. "Dough conditioners" with complex chemical names are used to enhance fluffiness and shelf life. Yuck!
Today, I will make a loaf of bread. Its ingredients will be a mixture of flours, water, salt, and yeast. That's it. I may add a little oatmeal or rye flakes to up the fiber content even further. Add time and heat and you have bread. Voila.
For your first bread-making experiment, try "no-knead" bread. There are lots of recipes out there.
Some REALLY No-Knead breads
I love my bread machine as well (I make great bread, not boasting). 0 -

Spot on. Also depends if you are trying to go low gi, since breads are high on the glycemic index.

Blargh, I don't like Udi's or really any other brand I've tried. So I make my own stuff...tastes fresh and yummy. Then again, I have the time to do that. Not everybody does.

I haven't read the rest of this thread, so I'm not sure if OP has already abandoned thread or not... but....
gluten is a protein. Your question is asking if you should eat a food made of carbs/sugar, and if removing the protein would somehow make it better for you. Let that sink in.
But i have no idea what your diet needs are and if you're working with this person then I think you should direct all questions to them.0 -

This thread makes me want bread. Too lazy to go grocery shopping, though, so how about some Panera avoid the line app order instead...0

I have lost 20 pounds, really, minimal effort. No more bread, butter, pasta. I truly eat less now. Bread was my "go to" food. That is gone. No point in snacking.0 -

For people like my mum, would lose a tonn of weight if they gave up bread and the copious amount of butter she she slaps on it!! She's not overweight per say, she just has that bloaty mcbloat "wheat belly"0

I love bread. I eat it everyday, just less than what I used to. Lost over 100 pounds in a year while eating bread.
Watch your calories, move a little more, and you'll be fine.0 -
Am i the only person who really dislikes bread?
My husband has to be gluten-free, though, and i tried making exactly one load of gluten-free bread because he loves bread...and wow, did it ever turn out nasty. It was like....a dense brick and tasted terrible. I did some research and found out that even if the gf flour says you can sub it 1:1, you usually can't...but I'm still left with zero ideas on how to make a decent gf bread.
I did make a gf banana bread today though. Looked like it turned out well. Even though i don't really like bread, i intend to have a piece tonight and see how well it really turned out..wish me luck, lol! Both kids ate it without complaint, so I'm guessing it didn't turn out too horribly.0 -

I've lost 34 pounds just logging my food and eating at a deficit. I've even had days where I "cheat". I didn't have to cut out things I enjoy to keep myself from snacking either.0
