We get a lot of questions about bread here at GOLO. Many people assume that bread is off limits when trying to lose weight but with GOLO, that is simply not the case. As long as you choose the right kind and eat it in the correct serving size along with a complete, balanced meal, bread can be part of your life even while losing weight! When looking for a good, healthy bread, you really want to focus on the ingredients.
