It tastes good.

It's not a fear of gluten per se. It's the body's reaction to gluten by people with Coeliac disease or who are sensitive to it. It can make people quite sick as well as give them diarrhoea. My mother has it. It makes eating out quite difficult. My mother loves bread but doesn't risk eating it due to the problems it gives her. She sometimes eats bread made with rice flour but it's not as nice as bread made with wheat flour.

Skipping carbs and sugars this month, to see how my body will react.

Have lost 3kgs in 5 days. Another 10 to go.

Still have some back-up whole wheat bread in the freezer if need be. Not missing rice, noodles or bread much.

Wow. That's a lot of weight in a short time. I wish I could do that. Is that only from skipping "carbs and sugars"?

Are you feeling strange? Jittery? Weird?


Good on you. Be careful and keep it up.

It's OK to do a "refeed" to trick you (hormone) Leptin.

Do yourself a favour, and avoid that shit also.

Of course not.

I assume it's mostly water.

So why say "Good on you. Be careful and keep it up"? 'Dieting' like that is stupid and un- (or quite possibly counter-) productive.

Who cares.... it's free!

I merely cut out bread, noodles, rice, and refined sugars.

Eating eggs, meats, homemade soups, salads, fruit and veg, no booze, reasonable amount of water.

Anyway, back on topic - bread. Miss it, and will have a slice or two on cheat day (Sundays).

I don't even use the term 'diet.'

Losing kilos is good if a person is overweight and their goal is to lose kilos.

Italian bread apparently, 49thb from Best Supermarket, Naklua.

So slice it!!!!

I did... and toasted it and server with M & S strong Seville Orange marmalade and one slice with M & S Sicilian Lemon Curd.

It was so good that I almost cancelled work and stayed at home to finish the loaf.... but at least I'll have a further 3 days of delicious toast.

Sliced as requested by AO

For those looking for more whole wheat flour in their bread in Thailand, "Cubic Multi Grain Plus Wheat Loaf" contains 29% whole wheat flour and 17% wheat flour (plus 5% mixed whole grains).
