Ben Affleck says his strategy to lose weight is working out, avoid late night eating and “”lay off the bread.” That sounds like good advice to me. Bread gets everyone in trouble because it’s high in calories and contains very little water. You should “eat your water” meaning that foods with a high water content will help fill you up on fewer calories. Think veggies and fruits. Additionally, if you eat more refined carbs such as white bread, it will fuel cravings by causing your blood sugar to spike and plummet. That’s why if you’re going to eat bread, whole wheat with its fiber is the way to go. The fiber adds some low cal bulk and helps curb hunger. But bread, whether it’s white or whole grain, has still got a lot of calories, so portion control is always going to be key.

Btw, I also posted on Jennifer Garnier’s diet and workout previously.
