    I eat white rice, white pasta and white bread, and yes I am.

    I don't always have white pasta or white rice - I just have a stockpile of rice that includes some white that I'm slowly using up. White pasta I have once or twice a week - wholemeal pasta is what I eat when I'm not sharing a meal with my fiance, who won't touch the stuff.

    I absolutely hate wholemeal bread. I can handle malt grain breads on pre-made shop-bought sandwiches, but I'm not a bread person as it is so white makes it easier for me.

    I have white pasta, white and granary bread, white / wild rice and brown rice, usually semi skimmed milk but that's just because that's what I've always had, if I make a rice pudding I use white rice and full cream gold top milk. Ive been losing consistently so see no reason to not have them, everything in moderation :smile:

    I eat white rice n pasta, still lose weight and sometimes drink full fat milk (reg milk?), but I honestly prefer soymilk
  • I've got all that stuff minus the milk because I think milk is nasty anyway. :) And yes, still losing weight. Like em9371 said, everything in moderation. The trick is to consume fewer calories than you did before, and I don't believe in "forbidden" foods. I eat anything I want, I just make sure it fits within my calorie budget for the day.

    i dont eat any of those, and i dont see the point of eating them since whole grain versions make you feel fuller for so much longer AND they are healthier for you! almond milk is pretty darn delicious too, cant stand whole milk :P

    I eat white pasta and rice, since that is what we can afford. In moderation... and yes I am losing weight. Also I drink soy milk instead of regular.

    As long as you are on a calorie deficit you will lose weight. White bread, sugar, white pasta are all "ok" to eat as long as you're still on a calorie deficit. They are just not as healthy for you as brown rice, whole wheat pasta etc. They also won't make you feel as full as long and will boost insulin levels and make you feel hungrier in a shorter period of time which will make dieting harder. I personally avid them.

    I don't touch any of those as I instantly gain weight. I'm focussing on eating mainly whole foods with very little processed food. Special occasions only now.

    I eat rice on occasion, but no to all the others. I bloat really badly when I eat pasta and white bread.

    Yes (but white bread, I like whole grain bread) and I nearly reached my goal...wih the same questions though. My skinny wife is another example we can. This changes may be required for the very last 3-5 lb to your lowest weight but are not required to lose weight. I lost my fat taking habits I want to keep for the rest of my life...and a life without pasta, bread or only 0% fat milk and yogurt is not normal to me. I classify people in groups: too thin, thin, normal, high mass but not fat and fat. Now I eat as if I was in the normal group for the rest of my life, with rice, bread and pasta.

    I guess that if you fear these aliments, you fear insuline and carbs relation on fat storage myth. Here is an article to get everything back to its real place: http://weightology.net/weightologyweekly/?page_id=319

    Now, I tried to pass to "whole things" to avoid processed food...simply because it is better for immunity and health, nothing to do with weight loss. Usually I like them after 3 times, otherwise I move to something else...do not force yourself and keep on enjoying healthy food
  • no.

    I rarely ate rice before, maybe once every couple of months, haven't had any since I started here.
    Pasta I ate maybe once a fortnight, haven't had any of that either. I bought some wholewheat stuff this week but yet to try it.

    BREAD! I ate sooo much bread before - the cheapo $1.10 a loaf kind. We'd go through at least a loaf a day in our household. I would eat 3-4 slices of toast for breakfast, 2 sandwiches=4 slices for lunch. Oink oink. Big fat soft doughy homemade burger buns... homemade bread. Pizza dough. Pizza bread. Lots of cheeeeese.

    I don't think I've had any white bread/buns since starting here, I have 2 slices of wholegrain burgen stuff for breakfast most mornings ( can't pig out on that cos it's too expensive) and wraps for lunch and often dinner too. But plain old white sliced bread and buns etc I try to keep away from, for now.

    I drink 0 fat high calcium milk, it's good because the others in my house won't drink it so I never run out haha

    I don't care for Full fat milk but I drink 1 or 2%. I eat wheat breat though, it's been a habit for a long time, unless I have a specialty bread then its normally white bread. I eat white rice all the time, I used to like brown rice but my fiance hated it so it's been so long since I've had it I don't really like it anymore.

    And overall I've lost 30 pounds without giving those up.

    I have skimmed milk only and not more than 1/4 cup a day, full fat milk makes me nauseous for some reason...maybe white Pasta and rice but once or twice a week...I only use linguine pasta now...and I do not have white bread anymore...too many calories and carbs...I like my snacks so I keep my meals as healthy as it possibly can get, allows me to fit number of snacks into my day....

    totally agree with you...as long as I'm eating in moderation then I'm losing weight, I don't deprive myself of something as long as I have the calories for it
  • I eat all the items in the list and still lose weight...

    Thanks for the replies.

    I eat basmati rice but its not a weekly occurrence. Pasta maybe once every 10 days. I love my full fat milk but only have 500ml maximum in a day sometimes less.
    White bread has always been a part of our family. I buy low GI bread and now buy my bread from Bakers delight fresh. Ive tried some wholemeal breads, wasnt too fussed on them but I am currently trying a 9 grain bread. And have just started on Rye wraps.

    So hopefully these will be fine , as others have said everything in moderation. :smile:
  • I have always drank semi skimmed, I have cut bread out totally - this has worked wonders no more feeling sluggish!! :-)

    i eat all of the above, but to be fair il only have milk once or twice a week at most in some tea, and pasta is a last resort meal as its so many calories for so little. But i eat a lot of rice and i have white bread every day and im losing weight.

    White pasta.

    Are you losing weight?

    I have skimmed milk, have done for years, not keen on full fat.
    Sometimes I have white bread, but prefer multigrain, took me years to get used to any bread other than white.
    I don't like rice.
    Yes I do eat white pasta.


    Yes I am losing weight.

    I've always had skimmed milk and usually prefer mutligrain/brown bread to white. I still eat white pasta and rice (although don't have rice very often). Overall I have cut down on bread and pasta, but have them each a couple of times a week. Bread tends to make me feel bloated if I have it more than that but even then it doesn't seem to affect the weight loss for me. I have lost about 40 lbs and am still losing.

    White rice when I get Chinese as I've only found one place that has brown rice. That's a once or twice a month thing though.

    My bread is generally wheat or multi-grain...but when I get a baguette or some french bread it's white.

    I'm a wholegrain person too, have been for many years, and skimmed/semi skimmed milk. I only eat white flour when I want to eat cake! Brown rice tastes better than white too.....x
  • Yes except whole milk I never did like milk but I make sure I get calisum from other sources. I also drink diet pop!

    I've never been a huge fan of full fat milk but I put it in my coffee these days.

    Yes, to all the others. (although I do whole wheat most of the time, but sometimes still white). Did you know brown rice has a LOT more calories than white rice and doesn't taste as good? I've pretty much switched completely back to white.

    Right now I'm not trying to lose, but yes, I still ate all (except the whole milk, I used to put skim in coffee) that when I was losing and probably will when I do start trying to lose again.

    The only white thing from your list that I still eat is pasta. Yes, I'm still losing.
  • I do not eat any of those. Sometimes white rice if I'm having sushi but that's once every 6 months.
