I switched to home-brought lunches and ate sandwiches since the end of 6th grade and I noticed a difference in my weight and shape. I lost a lot and I only ate enriched honey wheat bread in lunch everyday at school. Is that possible? Because I heard there are some types of bread that you should not eat on a diet. What kinds of bread can make you lose weight?

you can eat bread and still lose weight, just make sure not to eat too much. Eat whole grain bread with lots of fiber that will keep you full longer. You can also try gluten free bread, my friend is allergic to gluten and has lost over 50 lbs from eating a gluten free diet. The bread is pretty expensive though ( 7 bucks a loaf)

We like to make things simple….all bread is bad. Bread is OK, all fat is bad. etc. The thing comes down to calories. If you swap to a low cal bread and save 60 calories, but it has less fiber so you grab a bag of Doritos’s in the afternoon because you get hungry (270 cals) you made a bad trade
If you are happy with the bread you are eating and are losing weight, I think you found the right combination for you.
However, to answer your question…if you just go by calories. 120 calories of Multi-grain bread will typically make you fuller for longer due to the fiber content compared to 120 calories of bleached white bread, that you might be hungry in an hour. SO the things you look at, in general, is calories per slice and fiber content.

whole wheat and high fiber bread. Cinnamon bread can make you lose weight and is naturally sweet. Raisin fruit included-like fruitcake. Just not cakes and pies.

There is not one food that will make you lose weight, Assuming that you are healthy and don’t have any digestive troubles, you should eat bread that is as close to the whole grain as possible, made with natural products, (seeds, oats, honey, molasses) preferably from the bakery or homemade. White flour loses most of its nutrition as it is being processed. Many people have intolerance to wheat gluten that they may not be aware of, which can cause weight gain and many other physical problems. Soy flour is a great substitute and is low carbohydrate. The key is to eat just enough to satisfy you, include fruits and vegetables in your diet and keep up with exercise. At your age, you may have just gone through some type of change due to your changing hormones. Drinks lots of water and take care to be true to yourself — combined with a sensible diet which limits saturated fats, high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and artificial flavors, you should easily be able to be comfortable with your body for a lifetime.

Please trust me on this: You can eat anything, as long as you make sure you are getting your daily nutrition, and you eat everything in moderation. For example, eat your favorite bread even if it is loaded with sugar eggs and fat. Just have two slices with one slice of cheese and low calorie ham. Put only a little mayo, or whatever is to your liking, just do not put too much. Do not eat bread the rest of the day. The key is to never deprive yourself of foods you like, and eat balanced meals. You will shed the pounds, and remain slim for life. If you ate bread all day long, you would never reach your weight goal, and you would probably be lacking in nutrition, and gain weight. One last very important thing to know, exercise around thirty minutes daily to keep your metabolism up. Good luck!

Drink plenty
Have at least 6-8 glasses or cups of low calorie drinks over the day – more if you are hot or exercising.
The aim is to keep your urine a light straw colour – if it’s dark you need to drink more. Drinking plenty helps you feel fuller and stops you confusing thirst with hunger, and eating when you really just need a drink. Spicy tomato or vegetable juice or a berry fizz (puree some fresh berries and top up with fizzy mineral water) are great, low cal between meal (or early evening) satisfiers to stop the nibbles – or the wine, if you want to cut back.

Reward yourself
If you have set yourself some specific goals, for example, to have regular meals, or lose 3lbs in 2 weeks or eat your 5 a day, reward yourself when you have achieved it for example, with a new CD, seeing a movie, a new hairstyle, or outfit. It will also help to plan a big reward for when you have achieved your longer term weight goal. You will definitely deserve it.

Keep food out of sight
Food is everywhere – on TV, magazines, shops, petrol stations - and can trigger cravings. At home, keep weakness foods out of sight, or out of the house! Serve meals onto plates rather than from dishes on the table. And steer clear of buffet meals – studies show they encourage us to eat more.

Work out how to achieve your goals
Setting a goal ideally includes a plan for how to achieve it, and how to overcome things that might get in the way such as trigger eating (see below), poor food choices at work, eating the kid’s leftovers or too many takeaways. Writing your goals and action plans helps enormously.
