    No one mentioned the 35 calorie bread. I have tried most of them, recently Schebels Lite Wheat, it only has 5 net carbs in 2 slices. So if its a sandwich day, I use that. My husband eats it daily in his lunch and has lost 35 pounds since Feb. 1.

    I have to test my blood sugar 5 times a day. I'm pre-diabetic but not on insulin. For me, white bread, wheat bread, white rice or brown, it's all the same. I get the same 2 hour spike from all of them. The only bread that prevents me from having spikes is Ezekiel. I don't know if it's because it's sprouted whole grains, a lack of flour or just my body but I stick with that one.

    If you are trying to lose body fat, the essential thing is to slash your carbohydrate intake. Foods like bread, potatoes, pasta, fruit, rice are basically "all carbohydrates".

    that's racist

    And now, back to our regularly scheduled program...

    Why do so many wheat bread recipes call for SOME wheat flour and even MORE white flour?!

    I want a recipe that uses just wheat flour and no white flour. Is this bad? Will it explode or something?

    It's because white flour offers a more "palatable" texture. Most people prefer the texture of soft bleached white flour. You can use all whole wheat, it will just taste and have a mouth feel of whole wheat flour. I bake my own bread about 50% of the time, just use all wheat flour and experiment a little.

    That does help. I am trying to lose 30 pounds but I don't necessarily want to be on a no or low-carb diet. Is it necessary? I am Filipino so I eat rice almost everyday at dinner. I have replaced white rice with brown rice because I hear that its healthier. For most lunches, I get lean cuisines or something similar with pasta and shrimp that does not go over 260 calories.

    iam half japanese ive ate rice everyday for 46 years lol

    Personally, I like Orowheat Double Fiber 100% Wheat. It doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it (which many commercial wheats do... even organic options have some sort of syrup sugar). While it does have sugar in it, like most bread, it is not one of the main ingredients! This bread also gives you a fiber bang for your buck at 7g a slice, making it a lot easier to hit fiber goals if you have them like I do.
