Yes, but is it better than normal bread? The boss says not; that
I really don't want to get into this any further.
I'm loathe to disagree with the official policy on this but I'm thinking, "Well, what about sliced bread? Why do people specifically mention sliced bread when they're enthusing about something? Why don't they just say 'it's the best thing since bread'?" If...editor said:
and it's the...editor said:
where does that leave us on the sliced bread issue?

tbh there is no difference if a bread was sliced or not, is there? what is the difference between bread and sliced bread?
btw i agree with editor if i love anything the most it would be bread and tomatoe and avocado and cheesse combined together. next after that comes the potato.

mmmh rice cakes could be a great alternative to keep for this week. just in case.
but the question is is it indeed the wheat in the bread that piles on the pounds? or is it because of the butter, cheese and jam as well? because then it wouldn't change anything eating ricecakes etc
Yeah it probably is more what you put on the bread... and if you're just swapping one lot of carbohydrate for another, I'm not sure of the benefits..

Can you not just eat some carb supressant (Phase 2 stuff - White Kidney Bean extract) and just poo out all the starch calories?

^ i don't get it?
i broke yesterday afternoon and had a cake. :O
however i met an austrian friend yesterday who just has done a similar thing (and has lost a lot of weight). and her simply advise was - to do more cooking!
i will try to follow that, although on friday i am off to the fatherland with all nice bread and bakeries (sp?) where i might have a break and then restart once back here.
I'm not sure bread really is a problem, to be honest. It's like above poster said, it's what you put on it. I reckon if you had three sandwiches a day made with proper seeded brown bread or rye bread, without butter or mayo and some salad and lean meat (or other low fat proteiny stuff if you don't eat meat) and snacked on fruit and tea you'd lose weight. Put it this way - I haven't bought bread for almost a year and I've still got a fat arse

lol, sorry enid that just made me chuckle (no offence).
i guess my concern is simply with bread and other doughey food that i eat too much of it to have a healthy and varied diet, so i will try to cut down a bit in favour of more main meals and proper varied cooking.
(i hope)

It's a diet supplement that sits in your stomach and binds itself to starch carbohydrates and makes them indigestible, and so they just come out the other end. Some claim to get rid of as much as 2/3 of the calories in your starchy foods! My girlfriend is taking them at the moment, so I'll let you know what she reckons if you like?Choc said:

slight system overdrive
A lot of mueslis are a mixture of oats and wheat but I think some of them are completely oat-based. Check out what they have in Brixton Wholefoods (though when I've tried their mueslis in the past they haven't been that exciting).
Yeah, or you can make your own really easily. I buy a bag of rolled oats, some dried fruit and sunflower and pumpkin seeds, throw it all into a big container, shake it about et voila, healthy cheap breakfast. Add bran and anything else you fancy if you like.Brainaddict said:
Edit: the beauty of using only oats is that you can eat it like normal museli (with skimmed milk if you're REALLY determined to lose weight) or make it into porridge if you're that way inclined.

Probably more fattening - Most wraps, pittas, panninni & the likes are made from dough with a higher fat/oil content than conventional bread.
Proper bread anyway, not the fat, sugar & salt laden CBP "bread" that makes-up the bulk of UK industrial output these days.

Thinking has moved-on a bit since those wrong old "bread is bad" days BTW.
A suitable proportion of good quality bread in your diet, not overloaded with spreads etc is much more likley to help you regulate your weight than add to it.
Different dietary balances work for different people certainly but personally, moving over to a much larger proportion of wholegrain & other good quality bread in my diet is probably one of the main things that has helped me regulate my weight better in the last few years.

Do you like oatcakes and crispbread(ryvita things but I get the sesame seed ones from Lidl)?? I don't eat much bread and these two foods are what I eat instead.

Chorleywood process. Most bread in the UK is made using this industrialised process.
