Do you eat bread?

[Doc Lynam]

Have cut it out of my diet for a couple of months now and feel like i have a lot more energy.

Anyone else tried this?

Yep, also off wheat for 2 months. Nowhere near as bloated. Lost 6 lbs too.

I find sandwiches are a bit messy if you leave out the bread. Cheese on toast also.

Hovis 50/50 for me

I love bread. Off out to buy a freshly baked baguette for lunch. I accept it shows a lack of imagination; but I can't imagine lunch times without sandwiches.

I love the stuff that goes on top of bread so eat too much.
However when I needed to shed some pounds when training for a marathon I felt so much healthier and trim when I ditched the bread for a few months.
Bread is main reason why we have so many fatties around (eg the chocolate spreads etc that goes with it)

Try and stay away from the branded sliced loaves and go for uncut baked stuff, even if it is from a supermarket, I get the in-store baked stuff.

I gave up bread a while ago and lost 2 stone

what have you replaced it with? i dont understand this no-bread helps health and energy, im not dismissing it, just seems odd that something thats been a staple for millenia should be found to be a problem in our diet.

Excuse the ignorance but what's the difference?

 

[MissGull]

I don't eat a lot but love freshly baked crusty bread with cheese.

I find it hard to cut it out completely, sandwiches/rolls are too easy to make for lunches,

Sainsburys does its own brown seeded loaf, very nice.
There is a deli in Little Common, Bexhill which my wife uses, that does its own rye, oat bread for all those that have certain wheat / gluten allergies.

Those of you who have lost weight from giving up bread, is that all you've done or is it part of a training regime ?

As has been said i felt a little bloated and low on energy after a sandwich cut it out and it stopped almost immediately; don't know the exact science but eating wheat evolutionarily speaking is relatively new for us. Replace it with anything bacon and potato salad would be my favourite, basically whatever else is on offer!

Wraps can be an alternative.

Anyone over the age of 10 that spreads chocolate on bread needs to have long, hard look at themselves.

Yes, cut bread out except for very rare roll with soup. I feel much better and slimmer. I don't believe in self diagnosed allergies but bread is so often full of chemical gunk it can't be good for you.

 

[MissGull]

gluten free bread tastes like stale cake.

I agree to a point. I mean you don't see many Ethiopians claiming wheat intolerance! Basic bread is fine it's the chemicals they put in that's the problem. Even those artisan, fresh baked non sliced loaves made by the limbless albinos of the Himalyas are full of shit. "But this was made by Simeon at our local farmers market". I don't care if Fu Man Chu made it with his feet, it's gutrot.
