Is incorporating 2 slices of whole grain bread per day into my meals bad for a diet?
♥ asked:
I usually have a low fat sandwich for breakfast which includes one slice of whole wheat grain, avocado used as a spread to replace butter, 2 slices of pastromi or sometimes turkey cold cuts, some lettuce and other greens. Then for lunch I have a similar sandwich with one slice of bread, and I will just alternate the cold cuts and greens. In the evening I will usually have something more hardy like a medium portion of grains with steamed chicken and also 2 or 3 fruits throughout the day. I know that carbs are diet’s #1 worst enemy, but I also know that wholegrain carbs are better, though I don’t know if having 2 slices of bread in my diet jeaopardizing my plans to lose weight. I would really appreciate some advice, thanks!

No problem with just 2 slices of whole grain bread. re you taking in enough calories though? For ages I have been trying to lose weight and the dietician at my local hospital keeps telling me I should be eating more! I’ve been on around 1000 calories a day for 3 years and now lost 98 pounds, but, it isn’t enough and they told me because of my size my metabolism needs 1600 calories a day to get me going!

With the diet you’ve listed here, those two slices of whole wheat bread will not impact your chances of losing weight. Are you exercising also? Add some weight training and interval cardio if your physically cleared by your MD to do so. This will increase metabolism and speed up your weight loss efforts.
