A major scientific review is challenging the idea that more protein is always better.
The review, led by pathologist and biomedical researcher Dudley Lamming and published in the journal Cell Press Blue, examined more than 350 studies involving humans, mice, insects, yeast, and other organisms.
The review found that eating less protein, or less of certain amino acids that make up protein, may turn on body processes linked to healthier aging, as well as metabolism, the process by which the body turns food and drinks into energy.
Bread makes you fat?!
Yeah, bread is carbohydrates and your body turns all carbohydrates into glucose in your blood, however high blood sugar isn’t great so the body releases insulin to get blood sugar back to normal… the insulin forces your fat cells to take in all this new glucose (that’s how it lowers your blood sugar)…
Therefore - bread makes you fat.
Hot tip: don’t eat a loaf for breakfast.
Humans lived thousands of years on bread and fish without obesity.
Yeah but we evolved for 2.5 million years of survival before bread was invented…
my rye bread and baguettes with lots of fillings disagree with your claim of spiking blood sugar :D
Sure, they have lots of honeyed things to say! get a CGM and wear it for two weeks, it’s eye opening!
I don’t think it’s beneficial to look at bread so reductively. Effects of bread on weight (or health) depend on the type of bread, quantity, and the person having it.
For example I eat homemade sourdough bread with lentils and greens. And I’m very lean. Eddie hall also eats some sourdough btw.
For thousands of years, we ate bread and didn’t get fat. It’s been a fundamental source of nutrition so much so that it has become a synonym for food.
