If you can have nice meals without the bread (you don't need sandwiches) then I'd say go for it.
If bread is essential to you, then keep it but don't overeat it.

White bread should go if you're looking to cut body fat. If you must have bread in your diet, look for whole grain or whole wheat breads.

Basically, white bread is a heavily processed food - which means it's already in a partially digested state before you ever eat it! Processed foods quickly convert to sugars in the blood stream and as such, it causes a rapid increase in insulin production. This encourages fat storage - something you definitely don't want. White bread is a major no-no when cutting, to be honest... or you should limit it greatly in your diet.

Everything has a time and place. If your muscles or brain can use the glucose from the bread then it's utilized for energy. If not then it's storage. Doesn't mean every time you have an insulin surge you'll get fat (which is why Bluestreak bolded "encourages").

Bread is a pretty empty carb. White bread gives you a temporary surge and it's light and tasty but in terms of noruishment, rather unfulfilling. It has a time and place....post workout is a great time for white bread for instance. Figure out your cals and see if it fits into your diet. The odd piece of white bread here and there isn't going to make or break you....but on the whole, if you really like bread, make the majority of it sprouted grain bread.

I am a firm believer that any white flour products are a "no-no"! Depending on your goals, I would limit bread and then only whole wheat and/or whole grain. And remember, "wheat" flour in the ingredient list is *white* flour. It must read "whole wheat" flour. Also, try to ingest your carbs in the morning & lunch and limit them at dinner and prior to bed.

I agree and take it a step further.

If you do not make your own bread, there are ready made alternatives available. Look for organic sourdough or sprouted breads freshly baked or in the freezer compartment of your market or health food store. If bread is made entirely with l00 percent stone-ground whole grains, it will state so on the label. When bread is stone ground and then baked, the internal temperature does not usually exceed 170 degrees, so most of the nutrients are preserved.

Most "whole wheat" breads aren't even good for you. Check out sprouted grain Ezekiel.
