Eliminating White Bread and White Sugar

wehave4

Hello MFP world,

I am starting on a new diet where I am not going to be eating white breads, white sugar, white pastas, white potatoes, or white rice. I am eliminating these from my diet. I am needing to know how well others have done with something like this and offer any advice or recipes/snacks to have with a diet like this. Thanks so much!!!!!

You are about to get a ton of advice, telling you that it doesn't matter what you eat, so long as it fits into your caloric goals.

I started my journey to a healthy weight by adopting a LCHF WOE. If you want more info, head over to the low-carb or keto boards (or do a little googling).

Good luck!

That's racist!!! And the opposite of delicious. And unsustainable. But, good luck. :flowerforyou:

I did not totally eliminate them. I just avoid them as much as I can. And whenever I can, I use coconut sugar instead of white sugar.

I don't know what the diet is, so can't help.

Eliminating is really easy. You just don't eat the stuff. It really isn't as hard in practice as it seems going in.

Good luck!

Why do you think white foods need to be eliminated?

I started losing weight by cutting out these very things. Honestly, I was miserable, tired, and I spent way too much money on substitutes that had no difference in calories or that were higher in calories with a substandard nutrient profile (many white breads are fortified, most pastas are, and white potatoes are an excellent source of potassium). There's nothing wrong with limiting these foods (I don't eat them if they don't fit my macros and calories), but I'm much happier since figuring out how to work them into my diet.

My advice is that if you are cutting these foods, pay attention to labels, particularly for micronutrients like iron.

Diets (as in temporary changes) don't work for me. I gain the weight back when I eat "regular" food again. I won't give up sugar forever.....so I found that I need to lean how to manage it now while I'm trying to lose weight instead.

If "no white food" is a lifestyle change for you.....then good luck to you. :flowerforyou:

Elimination diets only work IF one can stick with the eliminations. If one is just doing it to lose weight, the weight regain should be expected when reintroduced to foods they eliminated from their weight loss diet.

Good luck, OP.
I haven't eliminated anything from my diet, because that's not how I want to eat for the rest of my life.

I do tend to choose brown rice, whole wheat bread, and wheat/fortified pastas over their white counterparts because I generally find them more satisfying and nutritious overall. But I still eat plenty of sugar, and I appreciate a potato in just about any form. I just stick to my calorie goal, watch my macros, and aim for a balanced diet.

If it works for you that's fine there is though no real reason why you need to eliminate these things. Have a look at the link
