Should I not eat bread if I want to lose weight?

Or just lower my portions and drink a ton of water?

Depends. If you're in your 30s you're in the age group where stuff like carbs and dairy start bugging you. Take a standard tolerance screening to see what "bloats" you or stops you from being regular.

Don't start the day with anything starchy. Have fruit and yogurt -- a coffee/tea if you need something warm in the morning. It gets things moving and gives you a bit of energy to start the day.

Don't splurge on sugars, alcohol, salty snacks or fatty/fried junk. Certain breads (sourdough, rye, pumpernickel, whole grain, yeast-free flatbreads) are usually better than the plain yeasty white bread. Try to have them with something fibrous like veggies to keep things moving.

Don't snack between meals. Don't have a heavy dinner. (Splurge on lunch.)

Exercise. If you're looking to lose weight remember to be active to burn calories consumed.

Don't lose weight, you might become more attractive, which means you just have to accept and/or ignore everything that comes your way from the other gender no matter what.

I know, I'm to blame for a lot of shit, should've stayed fat (not that it helped but I think it was more that men like young then it doesn't matter if it is fat) but then again, I'm older now and men don't like old unless it's skinny. So eating is maybe the way again.

You can eat bread, it's an American myth that bread would be exceptionally bad for dieting. You just need a calorie deficit in general.

Bread is often seen as the villain in weight loss journeys, but it's all about balance and moderation. You don't have to cut it out entirely. Opt for whole-grain or whole wheat varieties which provide more nutrients and fiber, helping you feel full longer. Reducing portion sizes and pairing your bread consumption with hydration can support your weight-loss goals. Drinking water can help manage hunger and improve metabolism. It's like enjoying a slice of freshly baked sourdough in moderation rather than overindulging. 🍞💧

Refined white bread is high in calories and low in nutrients. Choose whole-grain bread over refined white bread if you're going to eat it at all.
