I love the goofy way in which they tried to make it look like extremely complex science got into it by giving a weird estimate such as “31 minutes and an half”.
“OPEN UP, ITS THE DIET AUTHORITY!”
“We’ve come to inspect your bread box, sir. You know you are federally required to keep at least one loaf in there at all times to fight communism.”
for anyone wondering: one slice of TOAST has 134kcal (at least the one I buy), so 6 slices got 804kcal, which isn’t going to satisfy your hunger, it’s malnutrition even, however, you will loose weight very fast on that diet (you’ll also have vitamin and protein deficits in like 12 weeks, so be carefull)
The late, great Cecil Adams once calculated that you can live for about six months on bread alone, not even water, if you eat six loaves a day.

However, toasting it would remove the water significantly, so you would have to eat a lot more.
I assumed that this recommends to eat 6 slices of bread daily among with other things.
They don’t advice to eat only bread, just to reduce other foods while eating 6 slices if bread. If bread is whole grain and no added sugars, it’s actually a pretty good source for protein, which is what you want to eat a lot of while dieting to maintain muscle mass.
I hate to be all “ackchually” but wheat protein kind of sucks for muscle building. Its only about 50% as digestable and effective as the best sources, its still a better source than processed AF white bread if you cant give up the sandwiches. A great many “protein enhanced” things like oats just dump in a bunch of wheat gluten.
It still mostly counts towards your daily goals for average people but anyone looking for “gains” should be aiming to get 50% from “high quality” sources like milk protein, eggs, meat and soy.

I didn’t know that, thanks! Guess my whole-grain bread with cottage cheese snack still works 💪
I didnt know this until recently either. Its interesting once you start to read the ingredients breakdown on things that have “Protein!” on the label only to realise that (like on the oats I dont buy anymore) it had 4 grams per serving of protein more, but it was just added wheat gluten which has a PDCAAS of .25 so like an extra gram of protein thats actually useful for muscle building…
yeah, but I think they’re talking about toast, which isn’t very healthy
Most of what makes toast unhealthy is the assumption that you put some sort of topping on it.
Six slices of bread a day seems ludicrous, but two bagels in a day is perfectly cromulent. I’m conflicted
If they’re good enough bagels, two in a meal.
Regular bread? Fine.
American „bread”? Naaah.
It’s wild that in Europe the kind of bread Americans eat is sold as toast bread and considered unhealthy. Everything needs to be processed and neat I guess.
How about Canadian bread? The address on the advert is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Neat! That address / intersection is a five minute walk from me! Thanks for pointing it out, I wouldn’t have noticed it otherwise (with the ad being so absurd)
You can dance all night on some MDMA.
Sure, but bread is legal.
And you can probably dance a lot longer if you have ergot poisoning, so make sure you buy that country bread the Amish are selling on the roadside.
NGL I love me some good bread. 🪿
Bread is addictive, I swear they lace it with quack.
The same couple pictured in the ad died of diabetes and heart failure in the 80s.
In their 90s? Gimme some bread and dancing then!
