Is bread evil !

Thoughts please , do you think bread is bad when included in your diet , and I am talking about wholemeal seeded bread...I only have a couple of slices a day...I have heard people say it's better to cut out all together ! What do you think ?

    No food is evil.

    All you need to lose weight is a reasonable calorie deficit. That's it.

    No food is evil when eaten in moderation. A couple of slices will not hurt you. As long as you are under your calorie goal for the day, you're golden.

    Despite the lack of scientific evidence, bread is one of the most restricted foods in popular hypocaloric diets. The aim of this study was to compare two nutrition strategies (with or without bread) designed to promote weight loss in overweight/obese women.

    METHODS:
    A clinical, prospective and randomised study in which 122 women >18 years, BMI ≥ 25 < 40 kg/m(2) were divided into two groups: intervention group (BREAD, n = 61) and control group (NO BREAD, n = 61). Both groups received a low-calorie diet (with or without bread), nutrition education and physical activity guidelines, and were monitored for 16 weeks.

    RESULTS:
    104 women completed the study (48.4 ± 9 years, 29.8 ± 3.5 kg/m(2)). Anthropometric and biochemical markers improved after the intervention without significant differences between groups. BREAD group significantly increased total cereal consumption (3.2 ± 1.3 to 3.7 ± 0.5 servings/day, P < 0.05) and the percentage of energy from carbohydrates (41.2 ± 6.4 vs. 45.9 ± 5.0% P < 0.001) and reduced fat (39.0 ± 6.6 vs. 32.7 ± 5.1% P < 0.001). In contrast, NO BREAD group increased the discrepancy with recommended consumption. NO BREAD group had the most dropouts (21.3% vs. 6.6%, P < 0.05).

    CONCLUSION:
    The bread inclusion in a low-calorie diet designed for weight loss favoured a better evolution of dietetic parameters and greater compliance with the diet with fewer dropouts.

    Of course...

    Srsly....if you don't have an alergy, there is nothing wrong with bread. Bread is calorie dense and it is a high carbohydrate food...but so long as it fits your dietary goals, there is nothing wrong with bread. I personally don't eat a ton of bread because you get very little in the way of nutrition for your caloric buck...but I do enjoy a nice slice of sourdough with my soups and I tend to eat sammiches a few times per week during the summer (not so much in the winter).

    I use bread as a serving medium for peanut butter and jelly, deli meats, cheese, hamburgers. Really you can't go wrong with bread.

    YES!

    But I have a gluten and wheat allergy...

    And egg and milk allergy...

    Oh, and a soy allergy. You'd be hard-pressed to find a bread without soy in it.

    Seriously. I miss bread. It's one of the most simple, yummy foods in the world!

    I reduced my amount of bread just because it was the highest calorie portion of my diet I was willing to part with. I still have it if my calories allow. I had a sandwich on Sarah Lee bread today. Mmmm, sandwich...

    I lost all my weight and have been maintaining since April 2013 and never cut bread.
  • If you are trying paleo, then yes, bread is bad. But if you are doing some other plan, it's fine. Try to find brands that have very little or no sugar in them. Ezekiel brand (freezer section or natural foods) has no sugar at all. Just sprouts. Like others have said, it isn't the bread itself, it's the calories. Note that some brands have a higher calorie count and lower fiber/protein count than others. You'll stay full longer if you go for the brands that have more protein and fiber in them.

    I have a problem with gluten, so for ME, the answer is yes.

    I have also been reading a book called "Grain Brain" which claims that it's a very, very tasty toxin and is eating away at your brain, not to mention leading to diabetes and obesity.

    Take from that what you will.

    if you have a problem with gluten, then why are you reading up on bread? I have a problem with gluten, so I don't eat bread. That doesn't make it evil, it just means my body doesn't like it. Other bodies are able to digest it just fine, and as long as they don't eat a ton of it and blow their calorie count, it's no problem. I don't think that gluten eats the brain. Lots of people eat bread and their brains are just fine. And eating too much of a lot of things can lead to diabetes and obesity, not just bread. That's not "grain brain" that's "glutton brain".
