You don't have to cut anything. Moderation is the key.0

I'm aware of this but she's trained in weight loss ect so I'm gonna go with what she says will help:)0

I rarely eat bead because of the high calorie density. I could eat a whole loaf and still be hungry. Not to mention I would want to load it with butter too.0

Bread is a refined sugar which isn't natural... Your body actually goes threw withdrew when you cut out sugar and bread

Well, if you are going to follow her advice without understanding the reasoning behind it, I guess you should ask her if you can have gluten-free bread. Then go with whatever she says.
Or you could decide for yourself if there is a reason to avoid bread and determine for yourself what to eat.0 -
if it floats your boat............0

If that's the case, then you should be asking her opinion on the gluten free bread.
Honestly though, it sounds like she's just going by the sugar is evil thing. *shrug* To each their own I guess.

She said bread is a refined sugar which isn't good for your body. She recommended cutting it out because it's useless calories that are hard on your body.. I understand the moderation i was just curious if anyone knew if gluten free was still counted as the same.. I can eat what I want but I'm trying something new this time is all. Bread also causes bloating0

Like you I have limited by bread and all other grains too. Gluten-free products aren't very healthy either because the staple is rice and having rice increases your arsenic exposure. So it's probably best to try to limited that too. Unless you just gotta have some bread, then that's the way to go.0

She never said all sugar is bad just refined. Natural sugar is ok tho0

Bread is not a refined sugar. Bread is made from wheat and is as natural as anything you can eat.
As for eliminating gluten, you would have to eliminate most grain from your diet. Even stuff like oats has gluten in it. Personally, I would get tired of eating rice all the time.0 -

I am having some bread with my dinner. It is providing carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. I also find it quite satisfying and filling. I don't know what is "useless" about that.

Thank you. I wasn't looking for negative feedback and this helps:) I just wasn't sure Cuz she said potatos and rice where ok. But I know nothing of the "gluten free" stuff so I was just curious:)0 -
I have lost 25 lbs with eating bread but in very, very moderate amounts. I've been trying to lose the weight for three years and in the times I cut out bread, I only ended up craving it and binging on it later. Give yourself a certain amount of bread you're allowed to eat each week/day and stick to it. Instead of white bread, buy wheat. Bread isn't horrible and if it is eaten in moderation it's fine.0

.... calorie deficit will help. Unless cutting out bread = cutting calories, this won't improve fat loss.
Based on this your trainer is not someone you should talk to about nutritional intake/goals.0 -

That's kinda what I thought. Yeah it's kinda a kick in the teeth that I'm craving it but I wanna try cut alit of it out. I only ever ate it in the morning tho. And it's only whole grain breads I hate white bread lol0 -

..............
Did she also say that if you eat natural sugar youi'll not gain weight but if you eat "fake" sugar you will gain weight?
Did she even use the word "calories" in this discussion?SergeantSausage wrote: »Fire your (so called) "trainer".

Bread does not cause bloating unless one is allergic or has issues with gluten or wheat. How are bread calories "hard on your body"?

Nope she said to limit and be careful how much fruit im eating too and try substitute with vegetables instead. YeS she said try cut out all the un needed calories.. I didn't ask for anyone's arrogance.. She gets paid to make people healthy in a gym if she was all wrong she wouldn't be working there.0

Is she having you count calories? If she's not, then I think I understand where she's coming from. If you reduce or remove a lot of the high calorie foods that aren't satiating, then you'll be left with more high volume low calorie foods. So by eating only those, you'll feel satiated and be in a deficit. Thus you'll lose weight.
The other way to do it is to count your calories, and eat the things you like.0 -

Assuming that everyone who holds a job is good at their job can set you up for serious problems. I'm not saying that you should go through life suspicious of everyone, but there are tons of people in this world doing jobs they aren't particularly good at.

Unless your trainer also has a degree nutrition and is an RD on the side, she shouldnt be giving you any nutritional advice.

I'm in a way doing both. I'm using this to log everything so I know. But I just wanna see if I feel better over all to limit or cut certain things out.. It can't hurt to try something new:)0 -

Those poor Asians dying in hoards from arsenic exposure, amirite?0 -
If s/he recommended cutting out bread, I'd assume s/he was speaking of the carbs (?) - unless s/he did a biopsy on you and has declared you to have Celiac disease.
If that's the case ("cut out refined carbs" or what-have-you), then GF bread may actually have more carbs than wheat bread and may be be higher in calories. It's just the nature of the flours used and their ratios, so it varies from GF bread to GF bread. Generally, rice flour, tapioca flour and potato starch are used.
I won't comment on whether you "should" do this as I have no idea what your goals are, what your trainer's goals are and I feel that barring a medical issue, it's a preference.0
