Bread is bad for you!

Trying to think about what you're saying. Maybe cutting out carbs is probably good for weight loss.
I'm having trouble putting on weight, but must confess that if I think about it, my "natural" diet (i.e. what I eat if I don't think about it)consists of protein, veg, chocolate and sweets, but not many plain carbs.

From yesterday's Daily Mail - supermarket bread :eek:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-1298227/Tescos-misleading-claims-bread-just-tip-iceberg.html

Whenever I've cut carbs before it's been to drop weight, fast! But now I just don't want to eat it because of the effect it has on the body, especially mine as I feel the effect quite a bit.

Cattkitt - Maybe introducing carbs would help you gain weight, but might make you feel tired, irritable and sluggish.

Wow - that's quite shocking.

Modern bread is bad for you.

A few months ago on bbc 4 there was a documentary forgot the name.

Bit of a history on bread, it's the bread from the late 30's early 40's which is better.. a lot better, although didn't taste great.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rm508 (remembered the name)

unfortunately it cannot be watched on bbc iplayer, but was interested in it to watch the whole program, there is a shop in London who specialise in the old bread, i am sure some one will know the shop, either veggie or vegan shop, and they have been going since the sixties i think.

I dont eat bread now. I get terrible pains if I do so its not worth it. I dont eat many carbs at all really. I have lost 11kg in the last 9mths through this but I stopped the bread because of the pain not the weight loss.

It just makes it hard when going out for the day and being an MSEr I try to take packed lunches rather than buying stuff out. Its hard to prepare stuff and a sandwhich is easier but not worth the pain for me!!!

That of course is the best reason to remove something from your diet. I too have gradually cut out food groups - which is not actually the wisest thing; one reason being that eliminiation of an entire food group can mean that if you eat something occasinally, then your body will treat it as poison - hence the best way to follow a BALANCED diet...
...Having said that - OK, I'm not sure if chocolate is a food group - but I have now decided to cut that out

:eek::eek::eek:

- reason being that after eating a few squares on Sunday, the rest of the day was a write-foff. I felt absolutely dreadful (shan't go into detail) - and when I felt better (hours later) research led me to finding out that a reaction to an ingredient in chocolate can be the cause (thebromine or some such); it is that which causes dogs to be ill (and sometimes die) after eating human chocolate.

Be careful what you read and how you act on it as there is such a lot of stuff out there. I developed a severe (psychological) problem with food and ended up about size 4 and felt shocking.

A size 4, wow, I definatley don't want to be that small.. although a size 12 would be much better than the size 20 I am..

I think I've just finally decided that feeling crappy and being overweight is not worth eating bread for..

After my husband's sudden death, I lost a couple of stone in about as many months. Not really losing any more, as I have a very good and very frightening friend who has whooped my a** about it. :rotfl:
