Living Right - Losing Weight

People have been eating bread since before the invention of writing.
Bread is appreciated for it’s taste and texture,
And is included in the menu of many people.
We all eat bread. But is it good for our diets?
First, let’s discuss bread calories.

White bread calories count for 100 grams is approximately 220 calories.
This means that a bread slice has about 70 calories.
The same goes for pita bread calories.
White rolls have a bit more with 270 calories for 100 calories.
Now, here is a surprise.
Most of us know that whole wheat bread is better for your diet then white bread.
But a whole wheat bread calories count is100 grams of whole wheat bread has also around 220 calories, just like white bread.

Wait, what? Exactly like white bread?
So what makes whole wheat that much better?
Well, the benefit from whole wheat bread doesn’t come from a lower amount of bread calories, rather, it comes from the other nutrients in it.

Whole wheat bread contains complex carbs, in comparison to white bread that contains simple carbs.
Complex carbs are slower to break down into energy.
Making the 220 bread calories available throughout more time.
This has two advantages:
First, instead of an energy spike that fades quickly and leave you tired,
Complex carbs will supply you with a the same amount of energy spread longer.
When energy is not used properly it turns to fat.
And that is exactly why the whole wheat bread calories count of 220 is much better then white wheat bread.
Second, whole wheat bread will make you feel fuller – making you eat less of it.

But what about other foods that are rich with carbs?
Well white rice, for example, has about 250 calories for 100 grams. That is even a little more then bread.
It’s about the same with potatoes (baked, not fried).
Brown rice, on the other hand, has about 150 calories for 100 grams, so you can see there’s a big difference here.

So you see, bread calories count is pretty average considered to other carb rich food.
But unlike other carb rich foods, people eat bread throughout the day along with other meals.

My advice to you is to eat whole wheat bread, but eat it in moderation.
Keep a check on how much you eat.
Don’t eat bread from the basket in restaurants, don’t add bread to a full meal just because you’re used to it.
It’s ok to eat some when you are hungry (depending on your diet), but make sure to slice it thin!

The general discussion regarding carbs is very conflicted,
The case of Bread carbs is no different.
Bread is always a big deal for people on a diet,
Some never eat it, some try to avoid it.
But most people will tell you that bread is bad for your diet.
Though you might think that all bread carbs are to be totally avoided,
It is not necessarily the case.
It is partially true when speaking of white bread.
Whole wheat breads and some kinds of grain bread are different.
You see, the real issue is the kind of carbs that you should keep your distance from,
And these carbs are the simple carbs.
Simple carbs, in comparison to what is called complex carbs, are much lower in nutrients such as fiber.
The problem with white bread carbs is that they are the simple and cheap carbs.
And this is the reason people are so afraid of bread.
White bread is calorie rich, and yet it’s quite hard to eliminate all bread from your diet.
Bread is almost irreplaceable.
Don’t get me wrong, you can go on a diet and decide to never eat bread again.
But my point is that it’s really hard and not really necessary.
In my opinion, carbohydrates are vital for any diet.
Low carb/no carb diets are actually really dangerous.
Carbohydrates are the main glucose supplier for your body,
Cutting your carbohydrates will cause your body to go to “starvation mode”.
It is entering a state called ketosis, and it is very unhealthy.
So if you eat carbohydrates you might as well eat bread carbs.
Just try to make sure you eat foods with complex carbs.
And which food is that?
Whole wheat bread.
This type of carbs is slowly releasing glucose to your blood stream.
As opposed to simple carbs this kind of carbs is very good for you.
Giving a balanced supply of energy to your body is exactly what you need.
Whole wheat bread is also heavier than white bread so it makes you feel fuller.
So not only do you eat a better type of bread carbs,
You also eat fewer calories.
This is win-win situation.
The same goes for many different types of complex carbohydrate breads.
There are a lot f them out there,
All you need to do is go and find them.
Look for the word “whole” or “full” on the label,
The bottom line is don’t let the general “bread carbs are bad” idea make your diet harder.
Just find the right bread with the right bread carbs and you’re good to go.

Please share your thoughts and comment

We all love bread (in its various forms), it is simple, cheap, always available and mostly tasty.

Bread fits in on virtually any time of the day.

But what do you actually know of this simple food?

Did you know that white bread is probably the one worst way to provide your body with carbohydrates?

Did you know that white bread is so light in weight that it takes almost a third of a loaf to make a grown person feel full?

You didn’t?

It’s ok, most people don’t know that.

One of the big misconceptions regarding diets is that only sweets and fat cheese can make you fat.

I’m telling you right now, white bread makes you fatter.

If you are on a diet and you are eating white bread – you need to know that you’re disrupting your own efforts.

Let’s get serious for a moment,

100 grams of white bread contains 270 calories that’s approximately 3 slices.

100 grams of Whole wheat bread contains 210 calories but will make you feel a lot fuller.

See, that’s the main reason why you should not eat white bread.

Aside of that, white brad contains simple carbohydrates,

This means it has the same effect as plain table sugar (carbs wise).

What does it mean?

It means the carbs in the bread are digested quickly,

They provide a boost in your blood sugar level,

That makes the body release large amounts of insulin.

I don’t want to get into the biological details but in general,

Insulin is used to level your blood sugar level,

When insulin levels are high the body does not want to burn fat.

In other words, the insulin tells the body to not use the fat but to keep it.

To sum up, when you eat while bread you tell your body to stop burning fat for a while.

Why oh why would you do such thing?

The answer is simple - you are used to it.

My advice is to start getting used to better types of bread.

Almost any type of bread which is not made of white flour is better for your weight loss attempts.

I’m sure you understood why you should substitute your white bread but let me tell you one more thing.

It’s easy and doing easy things usually provides quick results.

While dieting, you have a lot of difficulties and a lot on your mind,

So why not help yourself with such an easy solution that really doesn’t require anything except buying different bread?

I see no reason and neither should you.

I hope I helped giving you push toward a healthier, thinner life.

Good luck,
