Bread Carbs - Should I Avoid All Kinds of Bread?

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.
