    So if you're trying to lose weight (fat mainly) does it matter what you eat as long as it's calories in vs calories out? I'm not saying I'm gonna eat junk food, but I mean I won't have to do all those "diets" such as atkins or low carb or low fat etc... As long as my macros are balanced right?

    Correct. You could eat McDonald's (not that you should but you could) all day as long you expend more calories than you take in then you will lose.

    Just log the calories for whatever you eat and stay within your limit. If you want a slice of bread - or a slice of chocolate cake - go ahead...just log it!

    there are no bad foods.

    Anything high fat/high sugar that isn't that way naturally is a bad food. And even then you shouldn't be eating much of it.

    Calling foods "bad" is a set-up for disordered eating. There are *NO* bad foods, only bad diets!

    eat the bread.
    the end


    people seem to be ignorant on this board.....and I'm new here.

    Thats why there are a jillion diets, however, if there are so many diets that are so "wonderful" , why are there so many fat people? why cant people stay on these "diets" for long and say "diets dont work, now i have to get surgery" something must not be working :)

    I've heard that carbs like bread, potatoes and pasta prevents weight loss...

    You heard wrong. There are those who promote "low carb" as the secret to weight loss, it's just another way of restricting calories and some people react adversely when cutting back on carbs (there has been credible research linking carb consumption to serotonin production)

    which "diet" would make you lose weight - eating rice, potatos and corn, or eating steak (protein) slobbered with garlic butter, cherries (fruit) pie layered with gobs of ice cream and whip cream and warmed up in the oven.. hey you are eating protein and fruit! so why cant someone lose eating that protein and that fruit? hmmmm ;)

    Spoken like a true political hack. Way to twist the topic away from yummy bread to old fat politicians.

    What? Run on sentence much.
    What the heck are you trying to say?

    She's confusing calorie count with what is being eaten.

    haha sorry.. count it as writing out as i am thinking.

    translation - Which would be better to eat - rice, corn, potatos? Or protein and fruit consisting of a big steak slathered with garlic butter and cherry pie? the 2nd is protein and fruit, but which of the two choices (each sentence) will be better for your diet?

    Will eating 1 slice of burgen soya linseed bread a day affect weight loss? I've heard that carbs like bread, potatoes and pasta prevents weight loss...but surely wouldn't moderation be the key? I don't really want to give up bread... I usually have it with cottage cheese for breakfast anyways!

    They will not inhibit weightloss providing you eat at a deficit in your daily calorie amount.

    Potatoes by the way are good for Potassium, they are a good food.

    Every single food item is ok to eat....in moderation! Like someone else said, you could eat 1200 calories worth of bread and still lose weight. Good luck!
