BREAD IS BAD!!

Bread is bad. Bread, pasta and other processed sources of carbohydrates account for much of the obesity problem in the US. I should know. I'm addicted to them. Been hard to cut them out this past year. As a general rule, I don't eat bread, rice or pasta. I do eat some processed carbs a few times a week, but when I do it's generally only a serving at a time. Bread simply isn't worth it for me. I cut myself off cold turkey from it and really don't miss it.

Agreed. Unfortunately other people are going to try and tell you otherwise.

Look, if your only sources are debunked alarmist "documentaries" it's really time to do some more research and reconsider your position. Consider the possibility that you've been sold a bill of goods by biased sources and do a little critical reasoning and reading.

And what about the governments, huh? What about the medical world? Are they all innocent too? There is a reason people are fat, sick and depressed. God forbid if other people have a different opinion. Geez.

Wait.

Are you suggesting it's the governments fault that people are fat?
Not our own?

Can you not see the conspiracy? The government doesn't give a **** about us at the end of the day. Especially the medical part of it, a pill for everything and yet there is people who suffer long time illnesses that are on medications and then there is all the side affects along with it!

Why should the government give a *kitten* about us?

We are responsible for OURSELVES.

Right, so we are in control of overpriced produce, are we? Well, at least in my town or my country.

I grow a lot of my own produce...You should try it.

Naan is amazing bread. If your on low calorie diet, you feel a lot fuller each day if you use up your bread calories on tuna instead. I used to eat tuna salad sandwiches. Now I eat tuna salad with saltine crackers.

You know the rest of the world calls American bread "cake". They can't believe how sugary and "gross" it is. Try sourdough or other "fresh" made breads and you'll soon learn to hate the American loaf bread. It taste like cake to me now, which is a good thing because not eating it makes my dieting easier anyway :-)


RULES:
Eat as much bread as you like as long as you stick to your daily calories. Who cares what anybody says. HOWEVER, I'll tell you if you waste calories on bread you'll probably be hungry at the end of the day. But if you have the willpower you can diet on any foods as long as you don't cheat.

Sticking with Subway, that 9 grain honey oat. Man, I could eat that with about anything.

I'm gluten/wheat intolerant (or possibly more just wheat) but sometimes I throw caution to the wind and indulge in a delicious sourdough. My homemade spelt soda loaf is also pretty amazing. With bacon, cheese and some chutney. Mmmmmn. Seriously, if someone could go ahead and create gluten/wheat free bread (in the UK) that DOESNT do this when I eat it

That would be amazing thank you please.

How can you 'indulge' in bread if you are gluten intolerant?

Probably in the same way I'll indulge in ice cream though I'm lactose intolerant.

Suffering the consequences.

I do remember hearing that there are different levels of intolerance in different people. I'm both gluten and dairy intolerant, and there is no level of "suffering the consequences" for me. If I consume any, I am condemned to days of suffering in a little curled up ball of pain. ( I also have IBD so trigger foods will make me suffer longer than the food is actually in my system). Jealous of those who can do it.

Oh, trust me, that's how I end up, and I'm sure the person in question does, too.

But sometimes, that frozen custard is just too.good.

They affect the chemical receptors in the brain the same way that cocaine does.
