Does giving up bread work?

Does anyone know if giving up bread will make you lose weight? I've googled it before and they say it's a good thing to do but there's so many things on Google that say this and that about it, just wondering if anyone has tried it with success 😊

Giving up any carbs will help Lozz1985.

Giving up carbohydrates (including bread) reduces the amount of insulin you produce which enables your appetite hormones to work right, so after a few months your appetite significantly reduces if you have unhealthy fat to lose. (If you don’t, you won’t). So, if you gave up bread & ate porridge, rice & quinoa instead, oh and chocolate and other sweet stuff, those different carbs would still be requiring your body to produce lots of insulin and no appetite reduction or weight loss would result. Diet doctor.com & carbdodging.com explain this more fully.

If you tend to overeat on bread, but not other foods, then giving up bread would help just in a standard calorie counting sort of way

I gave up (almost completely) bread, pasta, rice and potato. Lost 7 stones.

Not as simple as that (read around Low Carb High Fat LCHF) but the concept is sound.

From personal experience, bread is probably the single most dangerous food for me to eat. I love it, and have eaten it every day, but I've learned that it is just too macronutrient dense for me to continue to eat with totally reckless abandon. Does giving up carbs make you lose weight? It depends. If you give up bread and replace it with other macronutrient dense substitutes, it won't. But if you give up bread, or restrict it to the equivalent of one or two slices of bread per day, it just might.

The above reply could have been me.

Bread is my favourite food. Can eat it for every meal. Last year I gave up bread and used rivita if I needed to use something to replace the bread.

I lost 20kg. However I found most of it again so need to start again

Good luck with your weight loss journey.
