CALLING ALL BREAD LOVERS PLEASE!!

Any of you that eat bread everyday (whole wheat/grain)? Perhaps 1 or 2.. or even 3 slices but still have progress with weight loss?

Just wondering.. any responses would be appreciated. Some people tell me to cut out whole wheat or grain bread period.. but I LOVE it and it hasn't made me gain weight with following a healthier diet and doing cardio at least 3 times a week.

(My diary is open for anyone to view) i'm at 1,200 cals per day.

I absolutely eat it every day and have had success with weight loss.

My bread of choice is Arnold Whole Wheat Double Fiber.

I eat 2 slices of whole wheat most mornings, with an egg. I can't fill up on cereal for breakfast I'm shaky by 10 am if I try.

I eat bread daily as well, part of my breakfast, you can look at my diary if you'd like to see. I've been eating wonder smart wheat, 50 calories a slice. No problems with my weight loss.

I eat bread everyday! Nothing fancy at the moment but either Mrs. Bairds', Natures Own or subways 9 grain wheat bread. I love bread and I just can't seem to not eat it - besides Sandwiches seem like such an easy "meal". So far I've had success with my loss.

I am really not looking forward to fall/winter because that's when I'm always craving Mexican sweet bread and any other kind of pastries. (sigh...)

i think people who cut out bread completely are being totally unrealistic. It's part of a healthy diet! Everything in moderation. I have whole wheat bagel thins for breakfast everyday, whole wheat crackers for a snack sometimes but not often, and sometimes whole grain brown rice or whole wheat pasta with dinner. Granted my weight loss is slow, but that's how it's supposed to be unless you do a crash diet )

I eat all kinds of crap (bread, cookies, pretzels) and still lose weight. It is just a matter of not eating too much (that why I track on MFP).

Running a ton of miles helps the cause, but if you use it as a license to eat, you will gain weight (been there, done that).

Yeah, between 1 and 4 slices of whole grain bread every day while losing.

I could never give up bread too...lately, I have also been eating the Sara Lee 45 calorie...it is pretty good.

Just stay away from the processed stuff like Mrs. Baird's bread. That is the biggest thing to avoid.

i eat bread, maybe not every day, but close. i use whole wheat, bagel and sandwich thins, and other such healthy alternatives to wonder bread, lol.

Thankyou everyone for the responses!!


I LOVE Sara Lee's 45 cals per slice whole grain/wheat bread!! I have bread everyday.. or I use Ezekiel low sodium whole grain bread as well!

I eat 2 slices of Pepperidge Farms lite style soft wheat bread every day for breakfast. They are 45 cal per slice and not all that bad for carbs. Sometimes I have the whole wheat Arnolds Deli Flats. Sometimes (very rarely) I even indulge in some white scali bread... You need some carbs in your diet and definitely whole grains. I'm losing about a lb per week and happy with my progress and most importantly nit miserable because I'm still eating things that I like!

My wife eats anywhere from 2 to 5 slices of bread a day, and has lost all her baby weight in 3 months, and now weighs slightly less than before she was prego. She is now 5'41/2", 119lbs. We typically don't eat mass produced brand name packaged breads, but rather from local bakeries or the bakery in our grocery store, and never white bread.
