    The problem is not food itself, but the amount of calories you eat.
    Your daily need is around 1800 and 2200 depending if you are a sedentary or active person
    According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 one should consume between 45 and 65% of calories from carbohydrate.

    So while you eat less calories than you need on a daily basis, you will lose weight.
    Maybe you should consider changing from white bread to whole grain bread, but in the end the calories math is what counts.

    Nope nope nope nope nope. Bread is certainly not bad for you. Carbs are important for nutrition and proper body function. And they're delicious.

    I'm adding more and more whole grains into my diet in place of their more processed counterparts. I'm finding it fills me up better and gives me more energy :) try it :)

    I'd be more concerned about your total calories than bread. Going through the last week and you have several days under 1000 calories.

    You could totally eat a few slices of bread and it would probably be healthier.

    i will never give up bread. i like to have seeded baguettes around all the time. bread keeps me full longer than pretty much anything. i just dont eat the whole loaf in one sitting anymore.

    it would be weird to have no bread in our house. nobody would be very thrilled.

    Bread is only bad if it's 3 weeks old and someone throws it at your head then it hurts
