The exercise would resolve some problems of intake of bread for mild cases in the usual occasion.
(I know much bread without exercise makes me fat through experience. I am not very fat now, BTW.)
I follow the low-carb diet off and on. I do not eat as much bread as I used to as well as other high carb foods. I am big on exercising so I can eat extra carbs and then burn them. However, today being Thanksgiving, all the rules are broken, and I'll eat anything I please! Please pass the pumpkin pie!
I follow a low carb diet and avoid all forms of flour products. Before I started that, I was already cutting back because of the high price of good quality breads. $3 for a loaf of bread is obscene and $1 for a bag of flavorless air-filled crust is a waste of money. It's the reason I bought a bread machine several years ago and started making my own bread. I wore it out about 6 months ago and haven't missed it or the bread.
This might turn out to be a good thing for the consumer that the bakeries are feeling a little flat.
I pretty much stopped eating bread years ago - at the time because I developed some sort of intolerance for something in most breads - I assume it is one of the "improving" products they use. Very nasty responses.
Now, I am also more or less doing no grains (which is sad, because I love rice).
I eat the odd bit of bread on special occasions - or when I crave it - which is seldom. I will pay happily for really good bread then, though.
I eat bread practically everyday. Part of my morning ritual is walking to the cathedral and back as a form of exercise for body and spirit and on the way back, I buy some freshly baked bread. Whenever time permits, I bake cakes.
Too bad for the bakers, I won't be back in California until Summer of next year.
