Will Wheat Bread Help You Lose Weight Articles | Weight Loss

By: Richard Bleuze

People often think they are doing something healthy for themselves by switching their white bread for whole wheat bread.  Although this is a better option than white, whole wheat bread can still be preventing you from losing your unwanted weight.

I think most people would feel better if they stopped eating so much bread every single day. Toast for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, bread basket at dinner, etc. 

I am not saying to never have bread ever again.  However, what I am saying is that 4-5 servings of some kind of bread type product every day is making thousands of people gain weight, preventing them from losing their unwanted weight and worst of all, bringing about diseases like Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease.

Below are a few  “bread free” strategies and exactly how you can lower your own bread intake each day:

1. When you think of breakfast, do not automatically think toast, bagels, or a roll. The breakfast options are endless.

2. Pack snack foods and take them with you to work.  Taking these food items to work with you will help you stay away from the employee room bagels or donuts.

3. Do not depend on sandwiches as lunch every day. How about some salmon, broccoli, brown rice, or leftover chicken from last night.  

4. Make “the bread basket” a once-in-while experience. You really do not need to be serving a bread basket for dinner at home if you are offering healthy carbohydrate choices like salad, cooked vegetables, brown rice, millet, or quinoa.

5. Do not think that eating “100% Whole Wheat” is any better. It is still refined flour  and a huge contributor to weight gain.

Start to think outside the “bread box” today for healthy alternatives to your daily bread intake. What one thing can you do today to get started?
