life after bread

[bumkin]

the problem is when I was young everything was handball I could eat a horse and work it of these days it seems if you cant do it sitting down it don't get done over the years my weight has gone up and a few years ago decided to do something about it so I cut down on the bread intake just one round of toast for breakfast cold meat and salad for lunch and a light meal for supper and no booze, I set about painting the house the walls that is its a six-bedroom farmhouse first bleached then power washed then wire brushed then painted twice all this done from a ladder I was like a bloody budgie for weeks up and down and it was ok, the problem is it doesn't do much for one's sense of humor so my wife told me! but then came combining and all the weight I lost was put back

Hi,
I'm trying my best to avoid white bread. I have tried glutten free and wholemeal but cant stand the awful taste.
What do other eat for a lunch snack? getting fed up of eggs be it scrambbled or omleted!

is it the lack of a red tractor logo putting you off bread ?

how can it possibly be safe to eat anything lacking this “saviour” of British agriculture

 

[Clive]

For a sandwich I tend to use a wrap more than bread

I dislike white bread but love whole meal

 

[Johnnyboxer]

Bread is shite for your metabolism
I just eat chunks of meat, don’t mess around with out else

What about arable farmers though, trying to sell breadmaking wheat..............spare a thought?

 

[anviethouse]

Bread once a fortnight now on a weekend Toast with Brittany butter & Sea salt when missus is off.

Guts Better Winds Gone Sickness gone and feel better full stop.

Chicken & Tomatoes for lunch

One thing I've noticed is I can't tolerate my Chilli anymore.. I was having Fresh Chilli on my meals on my salads or Carolina reaper sauce on stuff. They give me painful hiccups and severe heartburn so I've cut that down to once a week or so as well

The number of folk who seem to have developed an aversion to bread (white) in recent years is somewhat alarming.

Have any studies been done regarding pre-harvest glyphosate residues on milling wheat and been able to definitively rule out the possibility of a link ?

No surprise, prob mostly water. First few lbs are the easiest. Eat more fat and it'll last. Add guacomole and to Hell with climate change. And you won't be hungry and end up putting it all back on again.

I started having ‘digestive problems’ a year or so ago. Type 2 diabetic for 20 years. I thought I was perhaps egg or gluten intolerant and tried cutting out both. Then I read an article in the Torygraph about FODMAPS - Google for more info as it’s quite complex. Anyway a small change in diet has really helped.
Breakfast is porridge oats, dried fruit, low sugar cereals, banana, fromage blanc & fruit yoghurt. Filling enough to keep going all morning & much lower sugar than commercial muesli.

Saw a local farmer spraying a crop of wheat with Roundup last week, 1 day before it was cut, because the tramlines were a bit weedy. Couldn’t believe it, right next to a road too.

They say it's safe.

But then-

They said feeding MBM to cattle was safe

They said Add F was safe

They even used to say DDT was safe-the Americans used to spray the streets for bugs while there were people walking in the spray mist.

Go to Oz they spray it on your head in the plane before you land. Don't worry if you don't lay eggs they will not be brittle.

“DDT Not a Health Risk
The use of DDT declined after 1972, when it was banned, due to environmental concerns, by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As Richard Tren of the public health advocacy group called Africa Fighting Malaria noted, “while there is evidence that the widespread, virtually unregulated agricultural use of DDT … did harm the environment, no study… has shown DDT to be the cause of any human health problem.”

In 2006, the World Health Organization reversed its stance on DDT. The WHO now recommends “the use of [DDT in] indoor residual spraying” as “DDT presents no health risk when used properly.”

Paul Muller insisted even at the end of his life that DDT was used wrongly and sparingly - often into watercourses which let to its ban but using at correct rates etc it was fine, it did the job and did the job bloody well!

Overnight oats is pretty good I use half a tub of Arla Skyre, 50 grams off oats and a good handful of frozen fruit left in the fridge overnight for breakfast. You could have that for a light lunch or do smaller batches for a snack.

Works for me too and I eat home made sourdough bread made with spelt flour it's easier on the gut but does take some getting used to. We have gotten so conditioned to white bread bring back the old wheat varieties!

 

[Bevelgear]

Have you tried making your own? I make a loaf every other day - takes just over five minutes, but you need to be around for 2.5 hours. I think a lot of the problems people have with bread is the chorleywood process, not the white bread itself. Not so easy once I start get in later in the summer.

True on both counts

Even cold cooked cabbage works within a salad.

even better, cold raw cabbage makes a great salad
