Ok, I haven't had time to read through all the notes here yet....but I
have a question about bread and protein.
I was reading earlier notes on McDougal WW and other diets. One thing that
kept hitting me was that people said that you could cut out meat and
eat carbohydrates instead.
About ten years ago I had NO weight problem and I mainly ate breads.
Very little meat. And I LOVED it! Now I have have been battling 10
pounds for about 8 months with NO success. The diets that I have read
about LIMIT the bread you can have (2 breads as opposed to 5 proteins).
So now I am confused. I am eating more fruits and veggies and trying
VERY hard to limit carbos AND trying to get in all the protein I need.
But I find it hard to determine what constitutes a 'protien'?
And what constitues a 'bread' or grain?
I don't think that I would have a problem cutting out meat if I knew
that I was getting all the nutrients/protein that I needed.
Can anyone help me here? Any suggestions?
I exercise everyday, so more of that won't help.
Thanks,
Hannah

I don't know the answers here, but I heard an interesting programme on
the BBC this morning that stated that breads (especially wholemeal,
which I love) are very high in salt - so watch out there.
When I was dieting in '89, I went almost completely veggie, which cut
down fats and the temptation to use sauces like ketchup - v. high in
sugars.

Is this perhaps true only for commercially-baked breads? I know that when I bake bread at home, a batch typically uses no more than 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. On a per-slice basis, that doesn't seem like a lot - but I've never gotten into analyzing salt content. --Sharon | |||||

Yes, this was commercially available bread. Wholemeal bread is now more
popular than white in the UK...
