    Why not whole wheat bread? That seems silly to me - since everything seems to preach that you should not eat anything "white"

    I think the bigger issue are the amount of preservatives and sugar added to the "whole wheat bread", I'm at work but now I think I need to read the label of my nutty wheat bread (which I love).

    I think that our progress toward health and fitness must be done incrementally. We're never going to be successful if we wolf down pizza, cookies and candy by the truck-full one day then try and change to carrot-sticks and wheat grass the next. For example, Splenda may not be the healthiest choice but right now, we're focusing on reducing our calories to get thin and fit. Or, as someone mentioned earlier - eating a banana is a FAR better choice than a slice of chocolate cake. It's truly all making increasingly BETTER choices each day.

    Excellent point! Small changes can be sustained and improved upon. Big, sudden changes can just end up being discouraging.

    I quick note on Stevia and Splenda..

    As with a lot of junk food/artificial sweetener and sugar, they make you crave more and more. Whereas, Stevia does not give you that feeling.

    It tells you right there in the ad, the 5 foods not to eat.

    1. Yellow banana.
    2. A banana with a few brown spots.
    3. A banana with more than a few brown spots.
    4.. A banana covered with brown spots.
    5. A black banana.

    Thank you Openheaven for posting those five. Yes it does seem like a load of crap, but jeeze, what's wrong with whole wheat bread? Honestly, in the 10 days I have been on here I haven't had any bread, but even before I tried this I always tried to eat whole grain bread.

    It turns to sugar in your body...they said that using sprouted grain bread (like Ezekiel Bread - freezer section) or rice bread, or millet??? bread is a better alternative. You want to eat as few processed foods as possible. Whole foods are MUCH better for you!!

    I LOVE me some bread, but I think I am going to switch to sprouted to give it a try - I've had it in the past, and while it's no french baguette, it is quite good!!!! :wink: It's VERY filling, very dense! (Make sure that you keep it in the freezer though or it will spoil very quickly!!!)

    Neither Junk food nor artificial sweeteners make me crave more. Surely you meant "may". Aspartame has been a HUGE help in my weight loss! :D

    The only food I avoid are ones with trans fats.

    Moderation is the name of the game. Eat what you want and keep it under your calorie goal and hit your macros.

    my husband bought it (if its the same thing) an online diet plan. It makes sense and I tried it,but too strict and expensive. I tried the health food bread from something other than wheat.But it went bad before I could use it all since everyone else in the family still used reg white bread. AND I was hungry all the time.Needless to say it didn't last,and the diet cost about $100. MFP has been more helpful,and staying within my calorie limit--give or take-the best I can,so far has been much more helpful and I am not starving. I lost 5 lbs on the online diet avoiding the bad healthy foods. Then I quit and gained 20 back. Now I feel better,have friends to help. And so far have lost 14 lbs.

    I explored the website after watching the video. They seem to promote glueten free breads. Wheat bread has glueten. But then I googled the same question "5 foods not to eat". I looked at Dr Oz's answers, he recommends whole grain or steel cut oats as alternatives. My husband bought rice bread and he said it tastes stale. We all just need to go back to nature. Eating more natural foods I think is the key and of course moderation.

    Google agave syrup fraud. It's not better for you.

    I know that the stuff I used to buy has cals but I'm diabetic and it doesn't shoot my BG up so it is better for me. I have heard for other diabetics it affects their BG so therefore isn't good for them.

    I wouldn't say it is a fraud if it has a result you want (lower BG). It seems to me, with many food things, people think that because it works for people with a medical condition it must be better (ie is a problem for certain people and causes horrible problems including surgery to repair their digestive system but that is only people who have a problem)

    -Orange Juice
    -Artificial Sweeteners
    -Soy Milk
    -Fake butter
    -Whole wheat bread

    I have no idea where this false information came from, but the five foods you should never eat are actually:

    Tripe
    Haggis
    Natto
    Cuitlacoche
    Beggin Strips


    Other than the above, you're FINE and WILL lose weight no matter what!

    Hope this helps :flowerforyou:

    I was an Equal and 2 creamer gal. My nutritionist pursuaded me to give up the artificial stuff and i very gradually weaned myself to coffee black. those that know me well would say this is a miracle. It is one of the best things I ever did. It was a slow transistion,but now I actually know and enjoy the REAL taste of food. I have also set aside most condiments(except mustard), butter, and sauces.
