Are White Foods the Work of the Devil?

i dont know if its true or not, but i've heard that white foods contain bleach, hence the reason why theyre white.
Yes, there are little elves running around underground bleaching potatoes.0 -
Elimination of pasta and rice has made a major difference to my energy levels. I have reduced potatoes, cereals and bread substantially as well, but still eat it occasionally.
I think lots of lean protein my body seems to like a lot. That together with lots of colourful veg and I've noticed a real improvement not just in energy levels but stuff like wound healing, improvement to skin, hair, nails etc. :flowerforyou:
This is me, also. I haven't eaten pasta, rice, or bread in over a year (with the occasional taste of something when my husband insists).
The extra protein is what my body prefers, so I do very well on this diet, though I know it's not for everyone.0 -
Did you give up milk and yogurt too? Or white asparagus, cauliflower, onions, egg whites, beans....
Great examples of healthy white foods! Like I said, there is a place for every color of food on your plate. It isn't the color that makes it bad or good, but the nutritional content, the portion size, and the combination of other foods.
I think eliminating a certain food, especially if designated by color alone, is unnecessary, unless you are allergic or whatever.0 -
I upped my proteins, switched white for wheat, and increased my healthy carbs (fruits and veggies) and decreased the amount of processed foods I eat. I feel much better now. I still eat junk, but it is a lot less than I used to eat.
edit: It's not that white foods are bad for you, it is that they don't fill you up as much. You don't get full so you eat more.0 -

Beezlebub has a devil put aside for bread, for rice, for potatoes ♪♪♪
This made me laugh :laugh:0 -
No.
Would you like to enlighten us with your comprehensive answer
I think he covered it and explained his answer very well in one word. No.
Why do you feel you need more clarification than this? Your original post is ludicrous. Do some BASIC reading and research and you'll have your "elaborate" answer.
Someone has had a sense of humour bypass.
I find that this topic brings out a nasty (and completely uncalled for) streak in a lot of posters.
Its not enough to disagree, it has to be done through clenched teeth.0 -
They are just sugar. Nasty.0

Before everyone gets their knickers in a twist. I don't literally believe white foods are the work of the devil.
It was trying to throw the question out there in humorous way ( it went over the heads of some people )
I have cut out white carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta and bread) and replaced with veg. I just wanted people tell me about their trigger foods.
I'm sorry if people misunderstood the posting.0 -
I would think Red foods would be the Devil ....:devil:0

The topic made me LOL so I had to check it out...and i think you're right! They are the devil! :laugh:0

Pretty much all refined carbs are not friendly for weight loss. I read they cause increased insulin levels which can lead to fat weight gain.0

Refined carbs can come in any color. Consider food-coloring. :laugh:0 -

Protein can also raise insulin.
I would recommend this as it's supported with research and it should also provide you with a good base of information about insulin and it's effects:

If white foods are the work of the devil then in the words of CAKE...

It's not just beige food that's the work of the devil, but beige paint and beige swirly carpet.0 -

Why are you cutting out "white" carbs though? Is there a reason?0 -

Every time I've been to France everyone is carrying a baguette under their arms. That blows my argument out of the water because they're all skinny minnies . BUGGER !0 -

Because I wanted to up my protein and eat more veg and to stay under my calorie allowance of 1700 which is hard to do if bread and pasta are using up 700 of that.
Since I started cutting out bread and pasta my chocolate consumption has dropped to almost zero. Its wasn't my plan it just happened.0 -

If you're eating 700 calories in bread and pasta, you're not eating the recommended serving sizes.0 -
i think they're all basically crap and there isn't room for them in any 'diet'... unless it's cheat day.
potatoes are one of my weaknesses.0 -
Nope, not all white food is the work of the devil. Onions, garlic, Cauliflower, white cabbage, mushrooms, parsnips, etc are all white and very good for you. Even potatoes are really good for you if you eat them with moderation...they have TONS of nutrients...
I don't believe in cutting out anything from my 'diet'...everything in moderation. Any 'diet' that cuts something out can have negative effects on your waistline, because the moment you go back to eating those foods you'll balloon up...0 -

If you're eating 700 calories in bread and pasta, you're not eating the recommended serving sizes.
!00g of uncooked pasta is roughly 350 calorie and 3 slices of toast is almost 400 and that doesn't include the butter.
If I was eating 2500 calories a day like I should have been I wouldn't have joined a weight lose website.
If you asked any one who has lost weight they all have little tricks that work for them. Good or Bad but they worked .
And why are you questioning my eating patterns?0 -
White packaging:
White of the the egg;
The OP may be on to something after all.0 -
I don't think any food is 'of the devil'. I do eat wheat bread now instead of white because it has more fiber in it and I switched my normal pasta for this white pasta that has WAY more fiber in it. It's like Smart taste or something. It's actually much better tasting than the pasta I use to get. I eat less potatoes than I use to but I still enjoy them. I made mashed potatoes last week when I roasted a whole turkey.
The only thing I haven't really changed much is the white rice. I am adopted and was raised in a Japanese household and white rice is just something I love. lol Brown rice is odd though barley isn't bad. I just measure what I eat of it, keep it to about half a cup and have it with a load of veg and lean protein. (My favorite meal with white rice is cast iron seared chicken breast, green beans, and this tomato zucchini stuff that I make. It's got onions and garlic and fresh zucchini and sometimes mushrooms all browned up in a pan then you add a can of petite diced tomatos with their juice and let it reduce down until it gets thick. It's amazing on the rice and chicken. It's also good on toasted bread with a bit of cheese and it's like 2 serving of veg and low calorie and high and fiber.)0 -

I could be wrong, but I don't think the OP meant stuff like that. I eat all kinds of white stuff, including white wine. I think the OP meant white stuff that is bleached. The rice, bread, etc. 0 -
Devil food that's only partially white.0
