Horrible Publix Whole Wheat Mountain Bread January 2012 TV Ad

[swirty89]

In Weird Al's spoof of MJ's Bad called Fat he's singing about the foods that make you fat along with Pie ala mode he brings up Ham on WHOLE WHEAT and Weird Al is a vegetarian/vegan.

They should just call bread what it really is a SUGARLOAF

[vesnavuynovich]

This is a pretty accurate commercial, because regular feeding of oversize, double portions of high-glycemic bread is probably what made that poor kid chubby.

Three headaches in the last four years of gluten free eating, down 25lbs, a sub-6 A1C, and NO HEART DISEASE!. Our modern wheat is anything but natural. It's been selected for yield over the centuries and now is genetically modified to yield even more. This is not the bread Jesus ate!

Wheat has an impact that goes far beyond weight. There are health implications to consuming it. Read WHEAT BELLY by Dr.William Davis to find out what those things are.

It's not the worst you can eat. It might lack whole grains though but other than that it's more healthy than loaf. Of course, if I want to loose weight starchs, beginning with sugar, are the first things to go, but I don't see any wrong for normal weight people to eat this.

Thankyou! I had to stop eating the stuff, because I was having terrible allergies from it. It made me very, very sick. Obesity was only the beginning. I quit about 8 years ago, and got my life back. Thanks for all of the great informative videos!

Whole grain bread is healthy weight-loss food. The problem is the difficulty of finding it. Most so-called 'whole grain' bread in any grocery store is refined white flour with a tiny portion of whole flour as colouring. This is rubbish, barely food. Whole unrefined grains like people ate historically has never been fattening. Such whole grains are more sustainable than paleo or other meat-based diets. Meat & Fish made me fat, starches made me lose fat. I learnt the hard way.

[LCHFinCanada]

@MushroomedAnymore Almost every "whole grain" bread I see has the same first ingredient: "Enriched Wheat Flour"... which tells you the vast majority is refined modern wheat stripped of nutrients and not healthy for consumption.

I've found a good organic sprouted-grain bread vastly superior to "whole grain" simply because they're not made with flours. They're much kinder on my glucose spikes as well, compared to other breads, though certainly a more nutty/chewy texture.

[LCHFinCanada]

@MushroomedAnymore I don't think there's any evidence whole grains are more sustainable than organic/free-range ranching. Factory farming is a terrible thing though, in my opinion, and may not be sustainable.

As for meat and fish making you fat - and starches making you lose fat - that indeed makes you a rarity. It's not the norm, especially with obese people

But as I mentioned earlier - we are ALL different.

[simonmarkholland]

@LCHFinCanada I agree, besides how can a diet that promotes almost every modern disease be seen as more sustainable?

[rollecd]

I agree and I say that as someone who follows paleolithc diet for the most part, but I do think that having one serving of grains of day is ok. I do eat quinoa occassionally. Then again, I'm sure the average american carb consumption clocks in at around 400 and above per day. I limit mine at 150 per Mark Sisson's recommendations. thanks for posing it.

[LCHFinCanada]

@rollecd many people are fine on some grain - but after reading wheat belly I wouldn't trust wheat.

That being said I seldom eat grains, even sprouted-grain breads, due to my diabetes. For those NOT diabetic (or that don't have metabolic syndrome) eating some grains in smaller quantities is likely fine.

I keep my carbs a little lower than you - I'm usually 60-90g daily, but again - that's due to my diabetes and it's the best level for me personally. We're all different :)

[rollecd]

@LCHFinCanada THanks for letting me know your daily carb intake. It's just too bad that people have bought into the anti-fat craze. I'll have to read the book you mention. I've given up trying to explain to people that 10,000 years ago we, as a humans, didn't eat carbs.

[yertybert]

looks good. rather eat this than munch on carcass day and night. plus i have a six pack.

[LCHFinCanada]

er... WHEAT belly, not 'what belly' lol.

[LCHFinCanada]

What belly is a great book, Jimmy. It's on my nightstand right now, in fact.

The refined/processed carbs/sugars (don't think folks that "whole wheat" isn't processed up the wazoo) are causing so many problems today, obesity being just the tip of the iceberg.

I don't think processed meat is any better - it's scary the stuff going into an industrial sausage press, for example... or how they mass-produce bacon.

I like my local butcher shop - organic, nitrate-free naturally smoked bacon. Mmmm...

I can generally tell, when I am in the grocery store, whether someone is obese or not, even without looking at them. All I have to do is look in their grocery cart. If their grocery cart is filled with a lot of grain based products, 9 out of 10 times they are overweight or obese

[livinlowcarbman]

@alphacause It's a pretty tell-tale sign. And even if they're not obese on the outside, you can bet they are metabolically obese on the inside.

[livinlowcarbman]

Dude, I'm making fun of it.
