losing weight....eating wheat bread.....

NEEDhelp07 Posts: 7 Joined: 2004/08/08	2004/08/19, 11:46 AM i have a question. i am trying to lose body fat so of course i'm cutting back on carbs. my main carb intake basically comes from a bowl of oatmeal in the morning and vegetables in my salad and dinner. i was just wondering if it would be ok for me to eat 2 slices of wheat bread per day or if it should be more like every other day or every few days. i love bread and 2 slices of wheat bread with some grilled chicken, lettuce and tomatoes shouldn't kill me right? please, please, please tell me what you guys think.

No matter how much you love something, You should love yourself more so throw it out!

It could be any whole grain. The idea here is you are replacing the carb, and not adding.
