F + K talks about bread and diet and the anomaly of removing the carbs from weight-loss program. Bread is among the most consumed foods in the Western world thanks not only to its goodness but also to its versatility, making it suitable for any meal of the day. Abolishing carbohydrates is a counterproductive strategy when confronted with weight-loss issues. Often the first thing we tend to eliminate from our diet is carbohydrates, mainly bread and pasta. The process may have positive effects in the short term, but abolishing carbs in totality is counterproductive. It may force the body to lose muscle mass to create the sugars it needs. A weight-loss diet without bread and pasta is not guaranteed to be more effective than not having any. Still, it will be challenging to carry on due to too many deprivations while running the risk of causing nutritional imbalances and deficiencies. It is essential to remember that the LARN (Recommended nutrient intake levels) suggests consuming carbohydrates (mainly complex types, such as pasta and bread) equal to 45-60% of the daily calorie intake.
