With the exception of a medical issue, where a doctor has recommended you not eat bread, then it is okay to eat bread.
You will still lose weight if you eat bread, as long as you are in a calorie deficit.6 -
The only thing that will stop your weight loss is consuming more calories than you burn.7
-
Why would bread impede weight loss? Too many calories is why people don't lose weight6
-
Bread is somewhat calorie dense so I limit how much I eat. For me a sandwich is okay for lunch but bread at dinner is off limits.0
-
If it makes you overeat, yes. If you can eat bread without it affecting your appetite post consumption, no.
Eating at a calorie deficit while nourishing your body is the main goal.1 -

the only reason to avoid bread is if you have a medical condition or some kind of food allergy.
Other than that bread, by itself, will not hinder weight loss.
The only thing that hinders weight loss is a surplus of calories...0 -

I do this too. If I'm already having something starchy - potatoes, sweet potatoes, pasta.....then a side of bread is over kill (for me).2 -
It's the same boring argument.
You can eat anything you want and lose weight.
But I get more satisfied off of real food, not fast food. How could you eat fast food and actually get full?
How could you live without pizza?
If you eat whatever you want and follow CICO, you'll die of heart disease or liver failure or blah blah.
But CICO.
But whole food! Natural foods! Organic foods! No processed foods!
What are processed foods? Vegetables get washed before market. That's a process! Meat gets cut from the animal! That's a process! All foods are processed!
I was talking about refined flour with vitamins added in!
PALEO!
WHOLE 30!
SOUTH BEACH DIET! ATKINS!
It's all wrong!
You're all wrong!
Anyway, carry on. Eat what you're going to eat. Track it. Or not. Lose weight. Or not.6 -
My wife and daughter are gluten free so when they come set a loaf of bread down at dinner out I would eat the whole thing and butter each bite along with my loaded potato. Now I tell them not to set it down and eat veggies or maybe a sweet potato. I tend to eat better at dinner time so bread is just extra calories I don't need.0 -

Yes, a calorie is a calorie but I would also like to feel full and get some nutrition too. If I eat pizza, and I do, I need to limit it before I am full and don't really feel all that healthy about it. If I eat some salmon with kale and asparagus I "feel" that I am eating better. Its like the other day at the store the couple in front of me had 4 two liter bottles of soda, jumbo box of gold fish and a whole bunch of other junk. I had the conveyor belt loaded with nothing but fruit veggies and two bottles of wine. Both they and I could just limit our calories and lose weight but which way would you pick? Sometimes there is more to it than simple math if you factor in healthy food choices. And no it is not required but.....3 -
If I don't have a piece of garlic bread or english muffin with my meal I feel like something is *missing* and I'd be snacky... definitely dont' avoid it if you have no medical reason to do so1

I'd probably pick the way where I had Goldfish (or the vegan equivalent sometimes) sometimes and vegetables at other times. When I decide to add some potato chips or mini cookies to my lunch, they aren't cancelling out the vegetables. This post seems to fall into the familiar "all or nothing" trap, where we're assuming that people are always having pizza for dinner and never having salmon and vegetables.5 -
I love my bread so go ahead!0

It doesn't need to be all one way or all the other. Why the extreme? I have a good balance of whole foods to respect my nutritional needs, while also enjoying the occasional fast food or less nutrient dense calorie... it's not about one way or the other, it's about balance.2 -
I find I need starchy stuff in my diet, but it doesn't necessarily need to be bread. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it's corn or rice or potatoes or butternut squash. I don't regiment it as in "No more than 4 slices a week", but I do frequently find corn and rice more satiating. Sometimes, though, I'd rather have a sandwich. Or a piece of warm naan. And if I've got the calories for it, no reason not to!0

makes sense..
I just was not sure if you were posting some 'no bread after 6pm' arbitrary rule...0 -
80/20 is a good guideline to follow if you want to get good nutrition, stay within your calorie goal and still have a balance between whole "clean" foods and processed foods that have a lot of additives, but taste oh so good! Or a couple sugary, white floury desserts a week, etc. The problem with the processed foods are that for a lot of people they trigger eating binges and cravings or leave you feeling hungry a half hour after you just ate. If they don't affect you that way and you stay within your calorie range, then by all means, go for it!
And bread is just one more of those foods that you have to decide if right for you.0 -

I'm not saying it is all one or all the other. I'm saying I've read these arguments precisely 400,726,423.333333 times. I guess I need to stay off of forums.
Like most people, I assume, my diet is somewhere between those two camps.2 -
I go with high protein whole wheat bread. It's the only one that I could find for weight loss that doesn't fall apart on me.0

my bad, I understood you were saying Paleo Whole30 or gtfo lol1 -
I always believed balance was key. I looked at it from this perspective, if all I ate was fast food, refined sugar and soda 90% of the time but then ate fruits,lean meats, and vegetables the other 10%, it would make 0 difference in my health. I would be overweight and be at risk for all kinds of diseases. The same for the reverse, 90% good, 10% bad, you will be fine.
Also, while calories in calories out matter, food macros matter more. 100 Grams of protein will be processed and stored much different then 100 grams of fat, the thermogenic impact of food matters. Generally 25-30% for protein, 4-6% for Carbs and about 2-3% for fats.0 -
I enjoy sandwiches and a good piece of bread with butter and it all fits in my calories. My only suggestion is that if you include breads in your diet that try to make 80% of them whole grain breads.0

Like most people said you can eat bread and loose weight, it all depends on your body. For me personally I usually have bread with breakfast or lunch then avoid high starches after that. Once in a while I'll have something with dinner but it's not very often. If you find you are plateauing with your weigh loss then cutting our bread might help you get back on track then just add it back in once you get over the hump.0

I'm a bread guy, always have been, and would live on bread/cheese/wine if that were feasible. So it's *really* hard for me to not eat bread, but when I'm looking at calorie counts I always end up realizing that a bagel or two slices of toast or some pizza crust just ain't worth 300 calories. For me one solution has been the Sara Lee 45 calorie wheat bread...it's hardly bread at all (very thin slices, no real chewiness) but it will make a sandwich. One of those plus an egg is breakfast (135 calories); two of them plus some turkey breast is lunch (225 calories) which leaves me about 1100 for the rest of the day. I can handle that, and since I love sandwiches it's a reasonable path to relatively low-calorie intake when I'm trying to hold at 1,400 per day.0

You could copy/paste this to a significant number of threads here at MFP and it would fit right in

I started eating bread to help weight loss. Previously at work I was eating salad everyday but it turns out with all the ingredients my salad was around 400 calories. A reduced fat cheese sandwich is 300 calories. I feel just as full (if not more), it's quicker to eat and better ratio of macros so all round better for me. A slice of bread is around 100 calories so it's not really that high. As will all things it's the amount you consume that matters.0
