I haven't had bread for over 5 months on my diet.

I had bread all the time before my diet, with each meal.
I just love it and would eat 1/2 a loaf with each meal.

if you want to cut, avoid bread

If you are going to eat bread, and I assume you are or you wouldn't be asking which kind is best. Whole grain breads are the most heart healthy and provide the most fiber but in terms of "best" I can't say. Best tasting? Best for fiber? Best for staring at in your refridgerator and thinking about how bad you want some carbs cause you havn't eaten any in ten days . . oh wait thats another story. . .

thanks guys, i'll definately cut back, but to specify i'd like the least refined or the one with the least simple sugars, a little protein content wouldn't hurt in it either. Is avoiding bread a little sacrifice or is it quite detrimental if i'm looking to stay trim?
thanks

If you keep it to no more than 2 or 3 slices of high fiber, whole grain bread, it will not hurt you. I have been eating at least 2 or 3 slices almost every day for as long as I can remember and I am 5-6% bodyfat. There is a bread called "Women's Bread" as fruity as it may sound it contains 10 grams of fiber and 14 grams (yes 14 grams) of protein for 2 slices of this wonderful bread. They sell it at any health food store.

Check out "WhiteWheat" bread. High in calcium, same ammount of fiber as wholegrain wheat bread etc...

Why is bread so bad? A slice is usually 75-100 calories, and 15-20 grams carbs. A slice of good whole grain bread has more fiber than a serving of rice. So why do precontest bodybuilders avoid it, and stick to oatmeal, rice, and potatoes?

real rhy bread i low on the glycemic index list, many avoid breads due to their effect on insulin output, not only to eat lower carb. regular bread, even whole wheat, still has a pretty high glycemic index.
