There are different views regarding the relation between bread consumption and lumpy waistline. Some people think that bread consumption has nothing to do with weight while some maintain that it has everything to do with weight.

The second opinion coincides with that of experts. High bread consumption results in fat waistline. Here are a few facts regarding bread consumption.

White bread should not be part of your daily sandwich bread because,

White bread is made of refined flour, thus implying that all the nutrients and fiber have been stripped away from the grain. Thus, this bread is digested very quickly, creating a spike in the blood sugar levels. Thus, over a period of time the insulin production strays. This can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes. It can result in increased fats as well.

Whole grain bread, on the other hand, should be your preferred choice of bread because,

Whole grain bread has more fiber and, thus, is good for gut health. This property helps prevent many chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity and constipation. Whole grain bread also contains nutrients and minerals.

So to answer the question of “Will bread make me fat” we say, yes, it will. But, only if you eat too much of it, and that too the wrong kind. Stick to whole grain breads and you can enjoy 2-4 slices a day, depending on your individual carb and calorie needs.
