I am trying to lose weight/get healthy as always, but I find lunches quite hard (mainly because I'm on the road,/ limited choice. etc. If I am going to eat a snadwich (normally a roll) I want to enjoy it, but I just don't like Brown bread as much. But everywhere I look, white bread is portrayed as the devil!
What say you?
very rarely. Try and avoid processed food as much as pos & esp. Refined carbs. Just make yourself a lunch the night before & stick it in a tuperware box you lazy git.

Not much, but I don't eat much bread of any kind. It just doesn't taste as good here.
yep bread abroad is often a bag of shiteQuote:

If im having toast prefer brown bread for it. I prefer bread buns or rolls, again it's got to be brown or wholemeal
i like german black bread, 9-grain organic rye or pumpernickel, or just hard red whole wheat. after i eat it i hit the heavy bag.
Only white bread hate brown bread.
Just read those highlighted parts back as one sentence as see how pathetic that sounds.;DQuote:

Suck it up princess.
In all seriousness I've made a few changes to my diet in the past few months and although they were initially not the best, tasting now they are perfectly natural to me.
I hated green tea to start with, vile stuff, a couple weeks of drinking it daily and I'm totally used to it now. Haven't had any other tea in the house for a few months.
As for white bread. It's junk food, don't eat it. Also don't buy ready made sandwhiches either. They are stacked full of salt, in fact many well exceed the daily recommended salt intake for the entire day. Crisps are healthier, and lower salt.
Make your own sandwhiches. Brown bread, use philadelphia light spread instead of butter and fill them with healthy foods like ham, tomato's, lettuce, cucumber, tuna etc.
I say eat whatever kind of bread you like, but limit the amount you eat. For example: If I eat a hamburger on a bun, I eat all of the burger meat and veggies, but less than half the bun. I'm currently using a loaf of White Sour Dough bread, it makes a great grilled ham & cheese or roast beef and swiss sandwich. But, I only use one slice of Sour Dough bread.Quote:

There's still debate as to whether that stuff is in fact good for you though as opposed to less unhealthy. Bread is in fact shit, sadly.
White bread is clearly worse than wholemeal bread. It's very high GI for one and not filling at all, which is the last thing an overweight person needs. White bread, along with crisps is the one of the worst things you can eat for weight gain.Quote:

It's technically a junk food.
Brown bread is healthy in moderation, but too much can lead to bloating, especially people with wheat intolerences. The other main problem with wheat is that it is found in so many meals that we tend to eat more of it than is good for us.
But under no circumstances should a fat person looking to lose weight eat white bread. It's a guaranteed way to fail the diet.
