I was talking to the kind gentleman prior to me. But thanks for your input. That makes sense. And she is starting out and should hear both sides. I am merely relaying the information I have acquired however that may have been. No worries here. Good luck and congrats on your decision to a healthy lifestyle OP!0

With claims like that, I would say it IS your responsibility to prove your claims instead of posting Fox News magazine articles. If you have something scientifically studied, peer reviewed, and proven to be fact, then please post it. If it is your personal preference, then that's ALL it is and should not be stated as fact.
If you're scared of white bread, that's your problem. It is not OP's problem.0 -
No, you should not feel guilty.
Log it and stay within your calorie limit.
Eat less calories than you burn. That is how you lose weight. CICO.0 -
Well thank you EVERYONE for the advice and support . I'm just glad that there is a place I can get multiple suggestions from . Right now it is hard to make the right decisions but I am sure that it will get easier as I move foward. I'll just take it day by day . Thanks !

OP, the only reason food should make you feel guilty is if you stole it.
As long as you stick to your calorie goal you will lose weight, no matter what you eat.
If you have decided a food is not healthy for you, feel free to limit it, but there is no reason to deprive yourself of anything entirely. Eating something once will not kill you, or immediately cause you to gain weight.
Get a food scale, log consistently and accurately, and enjoy your food!0 -
I managed to avoid the free bagels and doughnuts this morning... now i feel guilty for wasting the food and NOT eating! ha0

We don't need to make weight loss harder than it already is by cutting out whole food groups.
Be aware of your calorie goal. Try to eat foods that will fill you up and keep you under that goal. If you eat a huge salad and get super full but have the room for a cookie, eat the cookie.
The hardest part about losing weight with the calories in, calories out method is the freedom of choice. Sure, I can eat whatever I like. But if I make too many high calorie, low satiety picks I'll be hungry. Learning to balance hunger and treats can be tough.0 -
Absolutely do not feel guilty and besides you only ate half so that is a lot of us would not have the willpower to do.. I would have ate the whole thing.
Anyway having your carbs early in the day is not bad at all because you are active most of the day.
If you can switch over to whole wheat or better yet get breads made from sprouted when then you are better off.
Keep tracking your daily food intake and make sure you are exercising at least 30 minutes a day 4-5 times a week and you will start to see a lot of good changes.

What about for somebody who works night shift? Why switch to wheat? What is wrong with white bread? Just curious. Thanks!0 -

why would you feel guilty? One of the things that one need not do is to assign a moral value to food... there are no good foods or bad foods.... just foods.
Some have higher calories, some have less... just make it work with your deficit and you will be okay.

Unless you have a medical condition there is no need to arbitrarily demonize an entire food group.
I assure you one white bagel isn't what got you here. What got all of us here (for those of us looking to lose weight) is consistently over eating all foods.
*steps off soapbox.* Thank You. I'll be here all day.
yep.... this.... all of this

What are your qualifications as a coach? Based on this post, it seems you lack qualifications as a dietitian since all of your intake is psueduoscience at best.0 -
Don't feel guilty, half a bagel or even a whole bagel is not a problem. I like mine toasted with peanut butter
Just make whatever you eat fit in your daily intake0 -
