Is bread generally fattening?

Individual food items are not inherently lipogenic on their own.

I believe bread is fattening bc of the way the body processes it. The package will say low fat and low sugar, but it processes in the body as a sugar. That is what makes if fattening. If you must eat bread or english muffins or wraps, etc chose Ezekiel bread. It is considered a protein by the body (equivalent to an egg) according to the package and has several amino acids in it (can't recall how many without looking it up). It is sold in the health food stores.
Just a tip, I noticed it does best when kept in the freezer, otherwise it spoils really fast. It's YUMMO!
^This^ Except I make Oopsie bread instead of Ezekiel bread. I'm a big low carber

I BLAST THROUGH MAMMOTH PILES OF BREAD DAILY BROSEPH. BREAD WILL ROCK YOUR FACE OFF. BREAD WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO PLAY GUITAR AND THEN FORM A BAND WITH YOU BUT THEN BREAK UP THE BAND BECAUSE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS. LATER, BREAD WILL GET BACK TOGETHER WITH YOU FOR A REUNION SHOW AND A VH1 SPECIAL AND IT WILL BE LIKE YOU NEVER BROKE UP. BREAD WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO CHANGE YOUR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AND WILL TOTALLY NOT EVEN CHARGE YOU ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T BRING IT'S FAVORITE KIND OF BEER TO GIVE IT BECAUSE YOU SAW SOMETHING CHEAPER. BREAD WILL JUST SMILE AND SAY "THANKS BRO" BECAUSE IT'S HOT OUT EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT THE BREAD'S FAVORITE AND THE BREAD WILL ONLY RESENT IT A LITTLE BUT WILL TRY NOT TO LET IT SHOW BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD FRIEND. BREAD HAS MANY SPIRITUAL BENEFITS. ONE TIME I ATE THREE LOAVES OF MULTI-GRAIN, CRACKED OAT, STONE-GROUND, ORGANIC, FLAX SEED, OMEGA 3/6/9, CHIA BLASTED WHEAT AND I DISAPPEARED INTO THE DESERT. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE DESERT TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A MOTLEY ASSORTMENT OF LOVEABLE BUT MISUNDERSTOOD CREATURES OF THE DESERT. I SPOKE TO THEM IN PARABLES BEFORE SENDING THEM OUT INTO THE WORLD TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF OTHERS.0

That is not bread. :noway:0 -
Biscuits are made with shortening(fat), and salt. Its not the wheat to worry about.
the issue isn't that it's fat, it's that it's partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
For once, I don't actually disagree with you.....waits till he picks himself up off the floor......imo non partially hydrogenated shortening should be used...problem solved.
so there ARE some foods that are worse than others?
(not looking to fight, just joking with you)
Yep - pineapple.....that shi!t tastes nasty.
ETA: trans fats are the only one I would say (and have always said) should be avoided as much as possible (medical conditions and triggering foods aside of course)0 -

Nope. Fats don't make you fat, eating too many calories makes you gain weight.0

Yes.
If it's bread that is filled with whipped cream, dipped in egg yolk, and then deep fried.
Then it's fattening.
Sounds yummy, but it sounds more like shortcake than a biscuit.0 -

Pineapple is just about the tastiest best fruit out there. Ham glazed with pineapple and brown sugar is like heaven on a plate!0 -
Pineapples have a special place in hell beside broccoli and cauliflower, well any brassica...0

I'd be more concerned over the fact that you binged than what you ate.0

Broccoli is awesome too! I'm with ya on the cauliflower though. That shiz is nasty.0 -
Yes, bread IS fattening. I hate to break it to all you carb addicts, but the carbs in bread are extremely refined and are almost identical to table sugar. That "whole grain" bread is not much better.
Calories and not created the same. Processed carbs, like bread, digest extremely fast and spike blood sugar levels, which in return causes your pancreas to secrete insulin. This lowers the body's blood sugar levels, but also causes it to store glucose (generally as fat).
Interestingly enough, it also tell your body to 'shut off' the fat burning hormones.
Anyone that says "calories in, calories out" is right and wrong. Right because it's true, but wrong because what goes in affects what goes out.
You can find some more information about this on my blog.0 -
I hate that people act like bread is going to kill you!!! Are people serious? I eat at least one sandwich everyday and have a healthy BMI. Like anything else, the key is moderation. I love my morning egg sandwiches on rye toast and am not about to give them up.0

I like carbs it does not make me an addict - that alone makes me disregard your post.
Bread =/= table sugar. :noway:
Eat too much of anything = fat
eat under your calories in bread alone you will still lose weight. (not healthily but still).0 -
Ezekiel has 24 carbs a slice.I believe bread is fattening bc of the way the body processes it. The package will say low fat and low sugar, but it processes in the body as a sugar.

Bread is mostly calories, in the form of carbs, and fake nutrients, in the form of added vitamins. Even whole grain products aren't a lot better. You can get your fiber more easily from vegetables, beans, and fruit. I love bread, and grains, but I view them as treats to have in small amounts.0

Seriously - grow up.
Lots of people eat orange peel in various forms around the world. The fact you bring this up on every thread you both appear in is childish to the extreme.0 -
I bring it up on every thread? I have only been a member a couple of days. I have never mentioned it before. Sorry I declined your friend's request this morning. I guess it has your panties in a bunch now. I do see though that declining you was wise. I love when I follow my instincts.
