Do you eat bread?

I eat bread on occasion... I just make sure that it is a healthy whole grain bread. Really, there is not one thing in my diet that I CAN'T have. For the most part I eat as clean as I can, keeping processed foods to a minimum. Eat your bread and don't feel guilty~

So don't 'listen' to the media, do your own research! The 'goodness' or 'badness' of bread depends majorly on the type of bread don't forget.

I rarely eat it but if i do it's wholemeal with added seeds.

I havent given it up, but i have cut down, as i dont find it satisfies me enough for the amount of calories.

pasta is the same. Doesnt take much of it to be a lot of calories

I eat bread everyday. I usually eat a whole wheat english muffin with breakfast and most days I have a sandwich for lunch, but it's usually rye bread.

I was staying away from breads for awhile. I found a couple lower calorie breads that I like...Sara Lee 45 calorie (per slice) has a few different types. I particularly like the multigrain (it has 9g carbs). And recently, I found Nature's Own 40 calorie (per slice)...which has 10g carbs. I have the honey wheat. I think they taste just like regular bread.

I think if you have your carb/protein/fat balance set to a sensible level and you remain within those guidelines you have nothing to worry about. Totally carb free is too difficult and (in my view) unhealthy. You can have bread so long as you try to stick to wholemeal,whole grain etc and cut it down. Heck, you could probably even have the odd slice of processed white so long as it is a rare treat rather than the norm!

For me, I have tweaked the suggested levels so I am eating more protein and less carb, which works for me, but I'm still allowed carbs if I want them and I have learned to be realistic about how much bread I can have. If you complete your day's diary in advance you can work out a) whether you can 'afford' that bread and b) if you do have it, how to 'balance' it with more protein-rich or low-carb foods later in the day. Hope this helps

I eat bread every single day - toast with boiled egg for breakfast most mornings. Salad with a roll for lunch. Love it - I am maintaining my weight easily and also lost weight whilst eating bread. I always buy quality bread, wholemeal, country grain or similar.

Live is too short to go without something you enjoy!

i still eat bread, and pasta, usually once a day, and sometimes twice if i had bread for breakfast and pasta for supper. very rarely have i ever gone over my carb allowance though, and i have completely switched to whole grain. my favs are the food for life brand breads, Ezekial and Genesis, which are sprouted wholegrain. the genesis is my fav because it has seeds as well.

i think it's just like anything when you are eating healthy, it's all about moderation. i mean you could sit there and eat 5 or 6 apples a day. apples are healthy, but in that quantity, not so much. i am also not a fan of the diets where you severely limit one thing over another. a good balanced diet works. not to mention makes it a heck of a lot easier to stick with as opposed to cutting something out and then you find you have cravings for it all the time! lol

wow..i cant stand all this anti carb stuff. carbs are our friends! they dont cause fat! dont dont keep you fat! stop being afraid to eat carbs people!

Yup I eat bread.

But stick to grainy rye types of bread the lower GI stuff.

I try not to stay away from certain types of food, food is food I just need to learn control and portion.

I eat whole wheat bread (2 slices) almost every morning for breakfast. I've lost 8lbs in 2 weeks so I don't think it's working against me. Don't feel guilty after eating something. Just stay away from white bread. I will occasionally have like a baguette or something, but for the most part it's just whole wheat bread or wheat roll from Subway, which I also have almost every day. Plus I'll occasionally eat a biscuit with breakfast, along with my toast Eat the bread, find what does or doesn't work for your body, and stick with it

So white bread out then? What about 50/50?

I avoid Kingsmill 50-50 purely because the portions are humongous. I get warburtons wholegrain, because each slice is about half the size and half the calories.

I'm pretty sure I would die if I didn't have bread.
I eat some sort of bread almost every day. I don't have the money to buy the "special" type of bread so I stick with whatever's on sale. I rarely pay attention to the type of bread it is. I do stick with whole wheat pasta but only because I can get it real cheap.
The way I see it, as long as I factor in the bread to my calories for the day, I won't worry about it. If it starts affecting my weight loss, then I'll worry about it.

I pretty much do not eat bread or pasta... But not because it is "bad". For me it is a trigger food that causes me to want to over eat. I have a hard time sticky to one serving. So I just skip it all together. If you can eat it without over eating then don't feel bad about doing so!

I think this is the key. Some people can't just have 2 slices of toast - the thought of the rest of the loaf sitting there in the kitchen taunts them and they end up wanting more and more. If you don't have that problem then I don't see any reason to avoid bread. Of course wholemeal options are going to be better for you (not to mention more filling) than white processed stuff but at the end of the day it's your choice what you eat. Don't feel guilty about it.

haha yes
When I make french toast I use a low cal wheat bread, when I go out I request whole grain (if possible) so yes I do eat bread. You shouldn't avoid it though, just make the right choices in which bread you choose and portion it well
