Does bread cause weight gain?

I'm trying to lose weight and everyone tells me to completely cut out bread from my diet. I love bread, especially for breakfast, so this is hard. Does bread really cause weight gain, or is it about moderation?

In our time, we ate fresh rotis daily and stayed healthy. Yes, modern white bread is highly processed maida and can cause weight gain if eaten too much. Just stick to simple home-cooked food and you will be fine, child.

Yes, eating too much white bread can lead to weight gain because it digests quickly and leaves you hungry. Try switching to whole wheat or multigrain bread, and always watch your portion sizes.

The nutritionist at the hospital told me that bread itself doesn't cause weight gain, but the extra calories from butter and jam do. You should consult a qualified dietitian to understand your daily calorie requirements.

Bread is just a source of carbs. If you have a desk job with no activity, eating too much bread will cause weight gain. Keep it limited, track your daily calories, and consult a doctor if you need a proper diet plan.

If bread caused weight gain on its own, half of Mumbai's pav eaters would be double their size! It's all about how many slices you eat. Just eat in limit and do some daily walking.

White bread has a high glycemic index and can spike your blood sugar, leading to fat storage. It's much better to eat whole wheat rotis or brown bread in moderation. Always focus on high-fiber food choices.

Honestly, I survive on bread-butter in my hostel and haven't gained much weight. It's just about total calories in a day, bro. If you are worried, just switch to brown bread or ask a dietitian.
