Quotes to ponder:
"You ‘get fat’ when you repeatedly overeat total calories for the day. The myth that bread is fattening; carbs are fattening is just that, a myth."
"Depriving yourself of this little pleasure leads to ‘last chance eating.’ You’d be better off taking the power away from bread by eating it more often."
"White bread can be included in an overall balanced sports diet. Just balance it with whole grains at the other meals."
