Is eating bread fattening?

Foodio · 06-19-2001, 10:02 AM

Hi,
I heard it isn’t good to eat breads. I eat a lot of whole wheat bread, but I heard that bread in general puts unwanted weight on your body.

Is this true?
Does anyone know where I can find info. on this?

Also, is it bad to eat bread before going to sleep? I heard it doesn’t digest quickly (and turns to fat) because you don’t do anything active while sleeping.

Thanks for reading!

Eating bread does not make you fat. Eating more calories than you burn is what makes you gain fat.

As far as bread, it's carbohydrates, and if you're trying to lose weight or get lean, you want to keep your carb intake in check.

Eating carbs before bed is not something I recommend when you're trying to lose weight.

------------------
Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

Why don't you recommend doing this?

Thanks
