Will I Ever Be Able To Eat Bread Again?

[Fiddleman 4,376]

I think low carb is the way to go. Why fight the weight loss by eating breads?

I have lost almost 100 lb in 3 months on a pure low carb diet of most Protein. Inches have also fallen off. My stomach is MIA.

This is a bit different from when I did Atkins in the past. This time around the weight came of 4x as fast and I don't have any cravings for bread, fruit, whatever.

Another difference is that I am truly losing inches everywhere. This did not happen when I did atkins 10 years ago or so. I will add in carbs that are good for you when closer to goal, slowly. Good luck.

My take is there's an overzealous bias against carbs. There's a big different between low-carb and how far some people will go toward eliminating carbs.

I've found in my pre and post-surgery weight loss that I lose much faster and feel better when I have some carbs. I tend to cycle them, meaning I'm not afraid to eat them when my body tells me I need some. I try and stick with things like whole grain breads and brown rice, but I've had white Pasta and white bread here and there.

Different things work for different people. So I say, especially if one "stalls," try adding some bread and see what happens. Can't hurt as long as you don't eat too much too fast.

Fruit I can't get rid of because of the nutrition, but with bread I would only eat wheat. 100 lbs in 3 months seems like too much too fast when most people are saying that they only lost 65-70 lbs in 6 months. I definitely want to do this right, but I'm not willing to sacrifice valuable nutrition when I can barely get the right amounts from just food alone, without all of these supplements.
