    As for "Wheat Belly," that book is a joke. Horribly cherry picked data and sensationalistic tabloid journalism at its finest. The author was way more interested in selling books than in actual facts.

    I have not read this exact book, but there are those of us out here to who this is a real thing. If I eat bread / wheat/ gluten, my stomach does swell, and it is not exactly a very nice sensation. While maybe this publication throws it out of proportion, but Gluten Intolerance, and Celiacs disease are real and true things.

    All in moderation. I try to have bread/carbs for 2/3 meals. for example, oatmeal at breakfast and a sandwich at lunch, only veggie/soy carbs for dinner.

    I love bread. I will admit however I did cut back drastically. Moderation is the key. If I can't live with the changes I'm making for the rest of my life, I'm not going to do it. I can cut back on bread, I can up my protein, but I can't take bread completely out because I do love it so very much. I eat one slice a day. I WAS eating up to 4 slices a day. So.... I'd say moderation in my opinion.

    I don't really eat bread because I just don't like it! I am sort of a low carb eater by default...I am not a huge fan of most grain based stuff (whole wheat pasta and porridge are about my only grain based carbs). It's like anything though...if I liked bread, I'd eat it...no point cutting out stuff you like, this is meant to be a change for life, not a short term fix.

    I eat bread everyday more than once. I have lost quite a lot of weight without ever cutting out or even decreasing my bread intake. I would say I still have anywhere between 2-4 slices everyday.

    Your mileage might vary but I am very wary of 'experts' who demonize a food group in general.

    I've done low carb, I've read Wheat Belly, I've read Taubes, et al.

    I had 6 slices of bread today.

    I think I'll be OK ;)

    I ate nothing but bread yesterday and woke up 1/2 a pound lighter. I don't think any one food is going to make you fat. Rather, I think that eating EVERY food in front of you will. You can also google the guy that lost weight eating twinkes.

    Portion control.

    My boyfriend cut bread out only to loose that stubborn bit of chub underneath his belly button! It worked for him but hasn't worked that well for me.

    OP:

    Looking at your diary, you need to take your typical daily intake, and ADD a Peanut Butter Sandwich, and some bacon. On any kind of bread you want.

    Seriously, get a few extra hundred calories in there before you collapse....


    I agree. Why are you starving yourself?
