I'm confused about bread

SoDamnHungry

Eat your white bread and be freeeeeee! Whole wheat has more nutrients and fiber (if it's legit whole wheat), but white bread isn't going to make you fat.

I used to eat white bread. I switched to wheat for the fiber, protein, etc., and figured out that wheat has TASTE! White does not. So now I prefer wheat. :-)

Both wheat and white bread are not good for you in large quantities. White bread is absolutely horrible while wheat bread is simply the lesser of 2 evils. Whole grain bread is a much better alternative. The same can applied to rice. Too much consumption of white bread/rice can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes.

Whole wheats are turned to sugar slowly, meaning they keep you feel longer, while white bread will have you very hungry very soon. Meh, I love all the bread though I don't avoid it at all, a slice of bread with jam for breakfast is great, or some breat to dip into a soup, brilliant. Some people avoid it because they avoid carbohydrates, if you are not planning to do that; enjoy your bread

Bahahahaaa I love this.

I love bread, but for a long *kitten* time I couldn't eat any because it made me feel so yucky. But I found that silverhills bread doesn't have that affect on me. Maybe its because it's not GMO'd idk. Haha.

Eat the kind of bread that you enjoy. Don't stress over it.

^This.

spend your calorie budget in ways that leave you feeling satisfied and nourished. Pay no mind to rules that label foods as clean or dirty or virtuous or bad.

^and this.

If you happen to have symptoms of a food intolerance, it's worth checking out if gluten is the culprit, but otherwise just enjoy your bread. (Doesn't have to be low fat or low carb either).

Now, that's just silly.

Yeah that is me if you let me near a loaf of PROPER crusty French bread. Oh yeah! I want it all.

I completely avoid bread all together and my boyfriend has recently done the same and his belly looks half the size! I eat quinoa and brown rice to get my carbohydrates. Veggies and fruits also have carbs in them too. If I really want to eat something like bread for lunch though I eat wholemeal wraps sometimes too. Adding lentils or beans to salads and meals can make you feel more full and they also add some more protein =]

You have to find what works for you. If you are going to follow a sensible eating plan and want to avoid gaining weight when you reach your goals, this should be a plan for life and you may want to include all foods you love, fitting them in to your daily calorie goal. I pretty much stick to multi-grain breads and rolls (the kind you take and bake at home). I don't have it every day and I definately do not eat as much bread as before. I limit myself to 2 oz slice and often have it as an open face sandwich or a slice of bread plain with a salad or bowl of soup or a piece of toast. I guess what has worked best for me so far is making better choices, watching portion sizes, and staying within my calorie allotment for the day.

white bread is bad. it basicallyturns to sugar immediately with no real added health benefits.

wheat bread store brand is just as bad.

you want to look for a brand that has at least 5 grams of fiber per slice. Daves Killer bread is another good healthy choice.
