Bread is love, bread is life

You are a lost soul...

False dichotomy. I can eat all kinds of delicious foods, even having my health and eating my cake, and the best part is I don't have to perform any mental gymnastics to ignore any guilt or shame about the suffering my diet causes. There's something poetic about the best possible things for me, being the best possible things for all other beings out there. In reality, you just don't know what you're missing.

You're basically saying the same thing the other person who replied to my comment said, so see here. No sacrifice, and your characterization of longevity is an unfounded myth. The pursuit of health doesn't just expand years, it increases quality of life in the here and now. There's a word for it, "healthspan". Pursuing health and longevity leads to greater tasting food, because it involves cutting out all the hyperpalatable bombs of added sugar, fat, and salt that fry your taste buds so much that all you can taste is those kinds of foods. Do you even know what real food tastes like? I can have the pleasure of great food, the ecstasy of intense exercise, and the fulfillment of any other of life's worthwhile joys.

You sound incredibly pretentious.
I'm sorry, but I'm not talking about McDonalds. I'm not talking about engineered food products. I mean a good thick slab of fresh bread made from flour, salt, a bit of sugar, and not much else. Served with a big dash of butter. That is heaven.
The healthspan stuff? Completely irrelevant to my point. What is the point of a healthspan if you deny yourself all the pleasures of life? Enjoy all things in moderation. But I firmly reject this whole, "well...have a little wheat bread if you muuust...anything else is abusive."
"Do you even know what real food tastes like?"
Well you clearly know what your own farts smell like. Jesus Wept! Your head is so far up your ass you can see the contents of your own stomach.

So all you can do is resort to ad hominems? Grow up.

Switched for whole grain bread for that exact reason, I found out I'm pre-diabetic so my next step after paying attention to my diet will be taking up exercise.
-
Nice! You might like this channel, they specialize in lifestyle treatment of diabetes, and have a book on the subject as well.

Bread is best as a butter or cheese delivery vehicle.
No matter how you slice it, only the upper crust of bread society can cut it as a standalone food.

Factory white bread is just misunderstood. It's not meant for anything fancy, it's designed for PBnJ or a quick bologna sandwich. If you're putting more than a slice of cheese and ultra processed meat slurry on it, you're misusing it.

Any restrictive diet can lead to weight loss, because you're not allowed to eat the stuff you wanna eat, so you don't eat as much.
If there's nothing special about carbs (and I don't think there is...) that's what I'd call "debunked."
-
I like to go to the bakery down the street and buy a loaf, then just eat the whole thing while it's still fresh. I'm a scrawny little spitfuck.
-
What a load of bullshit. Tell that to the Italians, where they eat ridiculous amounts of pasta, pizza and baked goods a and have the lowest obesity rates in Europe.
Food quality + more walking + meat in moderation.
-
Lol how is food quality, moderation with meat portioning, and exercise not calories in vs calories out?
-
Obviously metabolisms can affect things. Also anecdotal evidence on a platform where you post anonymously is less than worthless. It holds about as much weight as me telling you that when I switch to low carb while keeping my portion sizes the same I lose weight.
-
High carb foods have more calories than low carb ones by a wide margin. Which is why it works. And if it works, it is not debunked.
-
Who said anything about calories? Of course it's about calories. You said carbs are reason people get fat.
Can you differentiate between "carbohydrates" and "calories"?
-
I thought you were replying to my other response, which simply stated that weight loss is mostly calories in vs calories out. High carb foods tend to have more calories. That’s all I’m saying here. You can eat carbs in moderation and live a healthy lifestyle and still lose weight. Like Jesus man, calm the fuck down hahaha
You’re putting an insane amount of words in my mouth here.
-
Fat has more than double the calorie density, I'm not sure what you mean by "high carb food have more calories".
-
You said "if you don't want to be overweight, you have to eat carbs in moderation." I am not doing that, and am not overweight.
If you're going to word something as absolute, on the internet, you better be prepared for exceptions in reply.
-
Dude your anecdotal evidence from an anonymous account does not trump fact but go off buddy.
