Okay let's lift the myth about white bread.
Fact is that white bread offers lacklister nutrition, fact is also that you can eat white bread if it is part of a stable wholesome diet.
Let's assume you have Oats for breakfast, brown rice for dinner you know you can get away with a sandwich in the middle of the day.
Here is were that myth that white bread is bad comes from:
White bread is in general high of glycemic 400 calories of white bread digests quickly and of course the rise of the blood glycemic is higher than brown wholesome bread.
High blood glucose triggers the blood to secrete insulin that in return is responsible to carry the sugar out of your blood.
As we all know, insulin can stimulate hunger and maybe triggers fat storage... so looking mainly at these points white bread is indeed a bad idea..... but only if you are overweight untrained/fit person to begin with.
If you are (as most here at getbig
) a physically fit person your muscles will store the sugar from the digested bread as glycogen and the need for much much less insulin is required (than a unfit/overweight person) to full fill this task.
On top of that you can rest assure that active people can in general handle high glycemic food way better and don't need to worry at all about the glycemic effect of the food.
So stop being afraid of white bread, it is certainly not a very good foodsource, but it also does not deserve the stigmata it has.
