You’re Being Paid for Eating Bread: Day 47, 48 and 49

Someone said that to me today, to which I replied, “I wish, but don’t you think free bread is payment enough?” I mean, could I not be more thankful than eating the thing that I love the most at no additional cost to me! A loaf everyday? Honestly, no one needs to pay me for eating their bread, or to get a feedback on it.

If you’re in this industry baking bread, I know you do it out of the good intention of your heart. I’ve met all kinds of bakers through the years, and the most passionate of all of them are the bread bakers. They know the art, the science and how hard it is to truly bake bread and make a successful business out of it. Bread bakers are the most hardworking food manufacturers in the world.  With every bite I take from a bag of bread, I am truly thankful for their product that makes it all the way into our homes. Nobody needs to pay me for saying this.

Returning to Derek’s Spanish Inquisition yesterday, where he said I was overdoing it: well, maybe. Even my mom tells me I’m overdoing this diet. “No rice? Are you crazy?” She shakes her head in disappointment as I skip her very special Singaporean sambal fried rice. I feel the need to push this needle on eating as much bread as I can, so that I can persuade people on the fence that bread is safe to eat. There are too many people falling onto the other side with all the misinformation.

I need to make this information available so that that they can make an informed decision on the types of diets they go on. Derek also said that a high carb diet is hurtful to people, together with that much gluten.

Seriously.

Eating a high carb diet will not kill you (unless you are diabetic, you should stay away from a diet like this). It gives you plenty of energy to burn fat, and it reduces your cravings. Together with an active lifestyle (mine is about 35 mins of exercise everyday), a high carb diet is beneficial to maintaining weight.

Eating a total of 2 oz of gluten per day (there is about 2 tablespoons in a pound of bread) will not suddenly make you allergic to gluten. That is much less protein, than most paleo or keto diets, and much safer because it is a plant-based protein. Honestly, many dieters are downing bacon, hamburgers and sausages in larger quantities, and they are definitely not developing allergies to pork anytime soon.

This is not to mock people who are celiac or have gluten intolerance, but to provide the fact that gluten is a protein. Like any other protein in a normal active person, it doesn’t get preferential treatment nor is it singled out during digestion as a more problematic protein to digest. Gluten is a safe plant-based protein, and you should not be threatened by it.

I can go on and on about how bread can be part of a healthy diet. I hope bread companies can use the information that I share here to educate people on how safe eating bread can be. In addition, I’m not just one data point. I am an example of utilizing the information science has given me to help me guide my diet.

Use Science. It will make you love bread and carbs again.

I received a handful of Dave’s Killer bread today. In their new line of organic bagels, the Epic Everything and Cinnamon Raisin Remix bagels are seriously awesome. Haven’t tried it? Well, true to their brand, they delivered. Packed with 27 g of whole grains and 12 g of protein in each bagel, these bagels were epic-ly delicious!

Eating Lots of Bread Can’t be Healthy: Day 45 and 46

Here I am at the halfway point. It feels like I’ve been doing it forever because I’m so used to this diet now. A friend of mine, Derek, caught up with me and we talked about me eating lots of bread. “Surely, you’re not showing this diet you’re on is a healthy diet, eating this much bread can’t be healthy, and you can’t promote eating so much bread.”

Really? I can’t? It was time to tell Derek that he’s not getting the correct information from the correct source.

This is exactly why I went on this diet challenge, without this journey, I can’t prove my point: EATING BREAD DOES NOT MAKE YOU FAT OR UNHEALTHY.  To further prove my point, I’m eating as much bread as a woman my age can humanly do. I believe Derek was trying to do an expose on my journey, and I wasn’t going to crumble under his questions. He is a strong believer in a low carb diet, which was the reason for his recent weight loss. We had a strong discussion on calories in and calories out, and I asked him to check out the calorie math that I have logged so far on my journey. I consume about 14,000 calories per week in total. After exercising an average of 35 mins every day, I was able to target about 2,000 almost every day.

There is no magic to this. I’m able to keep to my target weight, even after eating lots of bread every day because the math is right.

This is no secret. Nutritionists have practiced this method for ages. I’m not doing anything new, but try to fight the wrong keto and low carb information out there about bread.

Is eating lots of bread healthy?

“You can’t recommend this diet to anyone, it’s dangerous,” he said. Well firstly, I don’t recommend eating this much bread, because it takes a lot of effort to eat that much bread in a day and to maintain your weight. Secondly, I doubt if anyone is going to follow my steps to eat bread at every hour, it’s too troublesome, and definitely not a catchy diet to sell. I asked Derek why he thought it was unhealthy, and he said it was too high in carbs and so much gluten is not good for my health.

And there you have it, my friends. This information is roaming freely around the internet, yet there is no one to challenge it but on this blog.

While I’m trying to fight all this information about bread and healthy eating habits, I’m supported by the folks at Puratos, who sent me delicious crusty softgrain sprouted rye Artisan bread.  It took me 2 days to finish a loaf each. I love eating crusty artisan style bread. Thank goodness, this journey has it rewards, or I would have given up some time ago.

bread wheat whole grains

Grains are not for Human Consumption: Day 43 and 44

I usually don’t engage with negative criticism on social media. However, I’m on this journey to prove that bread and grains are safe to eat and should not be avoided. Therefore I have to address each and every negative comment that comes to me about them.

A self-proclaimed nutritionist attacked my post saying that he/she has studied nutrition for many years and found there are serious dangers in eating grains. Grains are not good for the body as we don’t digest them properly, especially in bread products due to the gluten. He/she ended with saying that Nutella (my favorite) has corn syrup which can cause cancer. This grain myth is so far from the truth.

Before you place judgement on this person’s non-scientific based opinions, I caution you to not shoot the messenger.

There is so much bad information on nutrition out there and many consumers are not getting the right information from the internet. What I truly believe is that this ‘nutrition’ information is contorted by companies/ professionals selling their new age diets and services. Google ‘grains are bad’ and you will find a holistic community that is fueled by the paleo and the dangerous keto diet.* The Paleo community is so banked on selling their books and diet plans that they will do whatever it takes. Including making grains and bread look bad, even though they are as benign as water.

Getting honest about grains

I feel it is more important now than ever that my journey not be sponsored or endorsed by any associations, so I can provide an honest opinion on bread and grains. Hey look, I’m not going to ask the paleo, keto and low carb diet community to stop.

However, while you preach eating a diet that is torturous and not scientifically sound,* do not condemn safe-to-eat foods like bread and grains, which has been a safe sustenance for billions of people since the beginning of civilization.

So in response to this, I dug into bread that has a ton of grains and seeds – Franz® Great Seeds and 24 Grains and Seeds. #IdontWannaEatLikeACaveman

*The keto diet places extreme stress on the body. It must be medically supervised. The fact that your body burn proteins for fuel, it is not selective on which proteins it burns. Therefore, ketosis happens in your vital muscles, like your heart, kidneys, liver and intestines. While many holistic communities don’t talk about this danger, it should be known that the #1 advocate of the keto diet himself, Dr. Atkins, had cardiomyopathy and a suspected history of congestive heart failures.

Art, Science, Love and Sprouts: Days 40, 41 and 42

“It’s a little bit art, a little bit science, and a whole lotta love.” That is the baker’s creed at 20 Shekels. I received the Ezekiel, the Muesli and the Chocolate blackberry bread in the mail. Made from sprouted flour, they were very heavy and hearty breads that will take me 3 days to finish. 20 Shekels believe in baking all their products only from sprouted flour. So even their line of cookies are made from sprouted grains.

Their Ezekiel bread is based on a recipe found in the Bible that was given to the prophet Ezekiel as his only substance for 390 days. The Ezekiel bread, made from lentils, pulses and grains, has a complete amino acid profile. This bread is a perfect little nutritional package and 20 Shekels has fine-tuned the flavor perfectly. I can literally live off this bread for the next 90 days days of my journey if I wanted to. Seriously, I can.

Ezekiel Bread 20 Shekels sprouted bread

The Ezekiel Bread uses 6 key ingredients that makes this loaf a protein and nutrient dense loaf.

The  Muesli bread is also made with 100% sprouted wheat flour. Sprouted flour has a lower effect on blood sugar, and 20 Shekels has a loyal base of customers with diabetes. The breads that I tasted here were not too sweet, so I doubt if these breads would have a high glycemic index.

Muesli bread 20 Shekels sprouted bread

The Muesli has 4 different fruit and 6 different nuts that give it its savory and sweet profile.

I spoke with 20 Shekels’ owner Marni Atherton and she shared her passion for her breads with me. Each and every bread is crafted carefully to provide great nutrition that is aromatic. They just recently launched their on-line sales of bread and things have taken off.

20 Shekels fruit bread

The chocolate blackberry loaf is loaded with rich dark chocolate and tart blackberries.

This is due to the fact that her customers love that their breads are baked fresh especially for them. Batch baking each flavor allows 20 Shekels to cater to the demands of an ever-changing population of bread lovers.

So Many Grains, So Little Time: Day 39

I remembered asking Dave Dahl why he created 21 Whole Grains and Seeds. His answer was that he wanted to pack as much nutrition as he possibly could into one loaf of bread. Dave’s Killer Bread 21 Whole Grains and Seeds has 5g of protein, 5g of fiber and 22g of whole grains per slice! You can get a whole day’s nutrition just by eating this loaf of bread.

21 whole grains and seeds by Dave's Killer Bread.

21 whole grains and seeds by Dave’s Killer Bread.

The proteins are from a combination of grains and seeds, so its amino acid profile is undeniably superior than any other breads. It is just an incredible loaf of bread packed with all the grains and seeds you can possibly imagine. No wonder it’s rated America’s Favorite Organic Sliced Bread (Source: IRI 2016).

This is an excellent bread for an active lifestyle. Especially for me this week, as I take my training outdoors to enjoy the start of sunny spring weather in Portland. I want you to know that eating 14 slices is not an easy task. It’s not the bread (because it is a really moist, delicious bread) but the task of eating and reminding myself to not stop eating throughout the day that is rather challenging to do.

On top of that, I had a brunch meeting (of Croissant and Cranberry Sourdough) which sent me into a bread overload today.  Fortunately, I had the chance to ride my bicycle and run outside.

Pitching a Loaf: My Podcast is Live! Day 38

Yes, you read that correctly. Today, I dug into a whole loaf of Alvarado St. Bakery sprouted multi-grain bread, sat back, and listened to our Pitching a Loaf podcast. It’s taken us 6 weeks to produce and launch this new product of ours, and I was joyfully lavishing in the rewards of my team’s hard work. The best part of this podcast journey? Is getting the bakers I interviewed to share their passionate stories with me.

Today, on Episode 6 (coming soon!), I interviewed Arif, a wholesale baker from Canada, who has had issues with their artisan bread bursting on its sides. He complained that this issue has been causing a high waste issue for the past 2 years, and he used the recommended tools that I suggested on the podcast to solve his problems.

We managed to get him to reduce his waste by 12%, increased outputs and reduce energy consumption in the oven. Don’t believe in thermal profiling of your product? Listen to episode 6 and hear Arif’s testimonial.

Now, back to eating 14 slices of sprouted multi-grain bread. Honestly, this bread made me so full today, I could hardly finish all 14 slices. But I did it. I ate all 5 slices at once at dinner with chicken noodle soup (without the noodle – which got the disapproving nod from my mom)! And I will live to tell this story.

What Do You Drink? Day 37

Today is another white bread kind of day. So I mixed it up with Oroweat’s 100% Whole Wheat and Artesano white bread. This is about the third time I’ve got to enjoy eating Artesano. It really toasts up very well.

Sara Lee's Artesano bread.

There has been inquiries on my beverage consumption. Do you not drink soda? How about alcohol? Don’t you need caffeine? No, no and yes.

I drink about 10 cups of water on most days. I don’t measure it out. It has always been part of my routine. Or perhaps it’s been my mom nagging me all these years. I love water and I don’t really need anything else. I view soda and alcohol as empty calories. That is the main reason I don’t consume either. Honestly, I’d rather consume my calories in a foreign sounding dessert (Kouign Amman anyone?) than a large cup of soda or a milk shake.

I do ONE cup of black coffee in the morning, with Stevia, therefore I don’t report it in my caloric consumption. I really believe in the potent antioxidant content in coffee, I’m a true believer in good coffee, and one cup of caffeine is really all I need to drive me through the day.

Mixing it up

As Connie told me to increase my calcium consumption in the form of nut milk, I decided to be bold and try different nut milks. The almond kind was okay. Bland, but palatable. Then I tasted Cashew nut milk last night. It was the most horrendous drink I have ever consumed. It tasted like a slurry of chalk and Elmer’s glue! Did this big brand even send this product for sensory testing? How can it be ok to sell this? I want my money back. Least to say, it would be cruel for me to pass this nut milk off to someone at NedSpace, so I had to pour it down the sink.

One thing I cannot get enough of is coconut water. I drink it because it is high in potassium and I need potassium to counteract the sodium levels in my bread diet. It has calories, so I do limit myself to 2 cups a day. I stock up on coconut water at the Asian grocery store. They are much cheaper there because they import it directly from Thailand (coconut water capitol of the world).

Yes, I do drink many kinds of healthy beverages, but I also keep away from unhealthy ones. A good diet is all about making the right choices, and understanding where your calories are coming from. With this diet, I hope to show you that you can have a ton of fun, eat the food that you enjoy, and not gain a single pound.  I can do it. So can you!

The Bread Police: Day 36

I had Alvarado St. Bakery’s Sprouted Whole Wheat tucked neatly behind my computer today so no one could see it and my desk wouldn’t be so cluttered. Usually, I’d pile my bread up on a plate beside my computer and ate away at the pile for the rest of the day. I felt that this really dries up the bread slices, and the bread doesn’t taste good at the end of the day. So I stopped prepping my bread slices in the morning, and I prepare them all throughout the day. Slice by slice.

Apparently I didn’t let the Bread Police (a.k.a. my biggest fans) know about this change. A couple of them came by my desk, didn’t see my neat pile of bread slices, and started lecturing me. “Where is your bread? Why aren’t you eating your bread?” Chill, mateys! Breads right here behind the computer.

I guarantee you all, I’m still devouring over a pound of bread a day. Today, I even had the privilege of sneaking a delicious cranberry bagel in there (fruit + bread = my weakness). Also, if you haven’t noticed, I’ve added coconut water to my diet for the potassium. I really am glad I found this natural source of electrolytes. It’s really delicious and low calorie also. Don’t worry my friends, no need for the sirens, I’m still eating my bread.
