Best type of bread to eat while trying to lose weight

So I'm trying to lose weight and I was wondering what type of bread is best to eat?

None.

I eat bread every day. And lost weight. Boom.

Whole grain has the entire kernel of the grain from the bran to the endosperm to the germ. Whole wheat has the bran and germ removed during the refining process and is left containing only the endosperm. Unfortunately, the majority of vitamins and fiber are contained in the wheat bran and wheat germ that is shed during the refining process.

Whole wheat flour goes through a refining process that removes some of the nutritional values. In fact, whole wheat flour has half of the nutrients stripped away during the refining process. Whole grain flour is not refined and therefor maintains its full nutritional value. Whole grain bread is a good source of B vitamins and fiber and is lower in fat than whole wheat bread.

Whole grain is lower in fat than whole wheat. Whole grain also contains all of the fiber, iron and B vitamins that nature intended because it does not go through a refining process. In fact, the refining process strips away half of the vitamins, calcium, iron and fiber from whole wheat products.

Whole grain and whole wheat look very similar. Most people cannot tell the difference between the two without tasting them. Whole grain has a richer taste than whole wheat does. Whole grain has a more dense texture than whole wheat does. Whole grain maintains all of the nutrients nature intended which makes it a more filling and satisfying choice than whole wheat. It is possible to feel full quicker while eating less when you choose whole grain over whole wheat. Also, whole grain is a better choice for diabetics because it cause less of a "sugar spike" than whole wheat does. Refined grains have been linked not only to weight gain but also and increased risk of insulin resistance. In fact, whole grains have been shown to lower your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes otherwise known as adult onset Diabetes.

The only way to know if you are getting whole grain or whole wheat is to read the label. Look for whole wheat flour as the first ingredient or a statement that it is made with 100% whole grain. Sometimes labels can be deceiving, so make sure that you read the label carefully. The Whole Grain Council makes it even easier for you by putting their whole grain stamp on whole grain products. So read the labels and look for the whole grain stamp to pick the healthiest products.

I would say whichever is the most filling and has the least sugar... I personally LOVE Franz San Juan Nine Grain Bread. It may just be a Seattle thing, but it's so good. And it fills you up. Has lots of little nuts and seeds in it.

I don't eat it every day, but I eat it.

I doubt you ask dumb questions though, eh?

The art of losing weight is different as everybody is different. Many people can not lose weight eating breads. So for you it might be trail and error. If you can lose weight by eating breads try and eat a healthy bread.

Ah-ha - you are one of "those" people. Calories in vs. calories out. That is all.

Organic spelt whole grain - awesome, or else sour dough - both are pretty common in Australia. Are they popular in America? /:)

Point taken. I missed your sarcastic tone. Thought you were one of "those" people.

Hahaha. I kill animals, am I really going to counsel someone to avoid bread?

:flowerforyou:

On another note, I just noticed this is a zombie thread. Hope the OP ate a ton of bread and lost all the weight they needed to. ::Bowing out::

I also get very bloated. I have stuck to a low carb diet for many years which breads have been omitted. I would like to incorporate the best bread to have in my weight loss plan . Can u suggest?

It's really whatever you like so long as you fit it into your calorie budget.

But I use whole wheat sandwich rounds (the ones I get are 110 calories) for veggie burgers (since the patty is round...it makes more sense to me), and then for regular bread, I get either the Sara Lee 45 calorie whole wheat bread, or Nature's Own Honey Wheat 40 calorie bread. 80-90 calories for two slices of bread isn't bad in my book.

I love bread, and dont eat diet breads. I recommend budgeting what you like into your calories.

any 100% whole wheat bread with no high fructose corn syrup or white sugar is great!

it is usually lower in calories and higher in fiber and protein!

I also recommend sprouted whole grain Ezekiel bread! its low cal and a complete protein!

My personal favorite is Dave's killer bread. I eat the power seed because there are 6g of fiber and 6g of protein per slice. I know he also does "lite" breads that are lower in calories. After eating Dave's every other sandwich bread tastes bland to me, but I have heard good things about Ezekiel bread, so might give that a try some time.
