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.
I have gluten free kids and a husband for allergy reasons, don't eat a lot of rice either. Was just an ignorant comment. And that wheat bread is not as "natural" as you believe.
sand is natural, guess I should choose that over a GF muffin, amirite?
They might taste the same...
Ive had some bad GF baked goods but i make a wicked good Gf banana bread. My coworkers couldnt tell
Nope, they taste delicious. Udi's, Kinnikinnick, and a few other generic brands make some delicious GF baked goods.0 -

I was kidding
Since GF is trendy there are a lot more options out there for Celiacs to choose from and ive been told the taste has improved.
I havent bought any massed produced GF treat as I can eat gluten but I've baked some and did get a delicious treat from a local bakery in CT.
But thanks for the reminder, maybe what I'll bake tomorrow will be GF to use up my supplies! =]0 -
For the last six months I've been eating bread every morning (and some evenings) and still lost 35 lbs. For weight loss or weight management I count calories. I have found that that is the only way to actually loose or maintain weight. I made the transition to wholewheat bread simply because it's a healthier choice, cause the calorie count is basically the same.0

Bread is a typical example of carbs which spike insulin quickly leading to hunger soon after a meal. If you're hungry on a diet, swapping such carbs for proteins is a common sense move.0

Oh wasn't sure, lots of people here bag on the GF pre-made stuff haha.
Idk if the taste has improved in general or if it's just that there are better brands coming out, or both.. I have had some breads that tasted SO BAD,like... sour. And soo dense. Now they ar emuch more airy, still denser of course but not sour. Might be certain brands though, but I'm glad it actually tastes good (been GF 5 years, so maybe it's improved in that time?)
I'm about to bake myself a GF protein banana bread, aaah two beautiful things coming together.0 -
I see bread as a vehicle for getting bread and cheese to my mouth, so when cutting calories I will cut that first because I'd rather have more cheese. It's about what calories are worth more to me.0

Your trainer is correct. Ditch the bread. Just a really poor use of calories. Nothing good in bread. Many better choices.0

Everything we eat (barring protein and fiber) turns in to sugar as that is the fuel our body runs on.Carbs turn into sugar..
Sorry, OP, but I think your trainer has you on a fool's errand. I like bread. I have a slice or two daily. It gives me sustained energy besides having a pleasing texture.
Fruit is good too.
Gluten is a long sticky protein that makes bread elastic and fluffy. For a small proportion of people (Celiacs) it makes them sick. Do you get sick from bread?

Honestly if you are going to follow your trainers advice and then proceed to tell us about bread then why are you posting? You clearly arent interested in any advice.
Just for the general conversation my take on bread is its not left my diet but is quite calorie dense for the amount of satiety it provides me. Its more a treat now and ive changed to wholemeal seedy type bread.
Just heh @ the nothing good in bread.0 -

What if the person is already getting enough protein?
What if the person can eat bread and still be in a caloric deficit?KirbySmith46 wrote: »Your trainer is correct. Ditch the bread. Just a really poor use of calories. Nothing good in bread. Many better choices.
Nothing good in bread at all?
Quoting for those on mobile0 -
I have had two (or more) slices of bread pretty much every single day while: at deficit, bulking and now maintenance. If you like it, eat it. If you don't, eat something else. Not much else to it.0

Not all breads are created equal. The basic ingredients in bread are flour, water, salt and yeast. If the flour is whole grain flour, bread can be a good source of fiber. Mass-produced, fluffy, white sandwich bread is often made with added sugars and the white flour has had it's bran, and much of its fiber, stripped out. "Dough conditioners" with complex chemical names are used to enhance fluffiness and shelf life. Yuck!
Today, I will make a loaf of bread. Its ingredients will be a mixture of flours, water, salt, and yeast. That's it. I may add a little oatmeal or rye flakes to up the fiber content even further. Add time and heat and you have bread. Voila.
For your first bread-making experiment, try "no-knead" bread. There are lots of recipes out there.0 -

Check out sprouted bread. Companies like Ezekial make great products. They make bread from sprouts and not flour which I think is what your trainer is steering you away from. Personally I love the products. Bread also causes bloating for me, too.0
