    Regular bread? Fine.

    American „bread”? Naaah.

    It’s wild that in Europe the kind of bread Americans eat is sold as toast bread and considered unhealthy. Everything needs to be processed and neat I guess.

    The same couple pictured in the ad died of diabetes and heart failure in the 80s.

    Six slices of bread a day seems ludicrous, but two bagels in a day is perfectly cromulent. I’m conflicted

    for anyone wondering: one slice of TOAST has 134kcal (at least the one I buy), so 6 slices got 804kcal, which isn’t going to satisfy your hunger, it’s malnutrition even, however, you will loose weight very fast on that diet (you’ll also have vitamin and protein deficits in like 12 weeks, so be carefull)

      They don’t advice to eat only bread, just to reduce other foods while eating 6 slices if bread. If bread is whole grain and no added sugars, it’s actually a pretty good source for protein, which is what you want to eat a lot of while dieting to maintain muscle mass.

        I hate to be all “ackchually” but wheat protein kind of sucks for muscle building. Its only about 50% as digestable and effective as the best sources, its still a better source than processed AF white bread if you cant give up the sandwiches. A great many “protein enhanced” things like oats just dump in a bunch of wheat gluten.

        It still mostly counts towards your daily goals for average people but anyone looking for “gains” should be aiming to get 50% from “high quality” sources like milk protein, eggs, meat and soy.

          I didn’t know that, thanks! Guess my whole-grain bread with cottage cheese snack still works 💪

            I didnt know this until recently either. Its interesting once you start to read the ingredients breakdown on things that have “Protein!” on the label only to realise that (like on the oats I dont buy anymore) it had 4 grams per serving of protein more, but it was just added wheat gluten which has a PDCAAS of .25 so like an extra gram of protein thats actually useful for muscle building…

        Nope. No butter, no jam, just bread. Even toasting is discouraged, lest you toast away too many calories.

    I love the goofy way in which they tried to make it look like extremely complex science got into it by giving a weird estimate such as “31 minutes and an half”.

    I like how they had to clarify that you van only get a half hour with the waltz… if you are going to be doing the trot, you only get like 28 minutes of dancing off that bread.

    This has been known since prehistory. FFS, we started agriculture to grow the nutritious grains we had found for food and beer, 12,000 years ago.

      Except they’re wrong! Bread especially the white bread they seem to be touting in this ad, is not only empty calories devoid of nutrients, it’s inflammatory and contributes to brain fog, joint pain, muscle pain, depression, and yes weight gain.

      They’ve got it ALL wrong.

        To be fair, you need brain fog to listen to the ultra-white brand of popular music from the 1930s that those two are dancing to.
