Rep Power: 357932 | | | What type of bread was it -how many calories per slice? How much sodium per slice.
you are at a fairly low weight now, making t more challenging to lose weight... and a lot of factors could contribute to nothing being lost
I doubt bread eatng is the problem

Rep Power: 39 | | | Low calorie/sodium whole grain bread is good for you. Change to that kind of bread and if the problem still continues, you know its not the bread. |

Bread is fine as long as your calories and essential macros are in check. |

Rep Power: 0 | | | I was eating 220 calories a day just on bread. I still think that I'm going to cut back to just one slice a day.
Do you think thats a good idea? |

Rep Power: 558881 | | | Again, it's about your total calories, energy balance, and essential macros. After that, it all doesn't matter all that much. Sure, some are more carbohydrate sensitive than others, but I think this is overblown. |

Rep Power: 2237 | | | My doc told me to stay away from white carbs, not for weight reasons, but to improve my cholesterol and blood sugar readings. After a while, the taste of whole grain bread, wheat pasta, and brown rice seems perfectly natural and good. I agree - there are some whole grain breads that are just plain nasty, so it pays to find a bakery that makes some that you like. |

Rep Power: 5 | | | I eat atleast four, sometimes 6 slices a day of wholegrain bread (Tuna sandwhiches) Mainly since I hate tuna any other way, and it's so high in protein. I've dropped 1.5lbs in two weeks now(Last push now) so I can't blame it, it's 110kcal per slice for me too. |

Rep Power: 8 | | | Carbs are as bad as you want them to be, I personally like the spanking.
Like Steve said, it all comes down to losing weight means calories in < calories out.
Granted some people might be insulin resistant and this come with eating a lot of refined carbs, white bread, sugars, high fructose corn syrup. Whole grain breads slow the absorption of sugars because of the protein and fiber they also contain. It's not a huge improvement but worth looking into if weight loss is your goal.
If you absolutely cannot stand ANY whole grain breads, then yes you could cut it out of your diet, no one can stop you. Carbs are, however, a very important macronutrient and you should be focusing on getting them from fruits and vegetables. If you can stand oatmeal then try eating more of that (the old fashioned kind, not the instant packets) as it has some plant nutrients not readily found in other plants, and it's a grain that is low in gluten if you're sensitive to that.
The thing is with these low carb diets, is that no matter how you slice it, it's a low calorie diet. The public misconception is that bread is horrible and you should avoid it. Eating the right kinds in the right way and falling within your proper calorie level is what will help you the most. Low carb diets deplete the glycogen(energy) stores in your muscles which can give the impression of quick weight loss. This is why the scale can mislead you, and one of the reasons your weight fluctuates on a daily basis.
If you list a average day for your diet, what are you eating? We may be able to help you with where bread should fit into that, or any other short comings.
