[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2360606, member: 532959"] While it is true that high-blood sugars will definitely influence hydration levels, i am not experiencing the same issues after meals of potatoes, fruit or rice, all of which I'm eating at higher levels (Sometimes up to double) the amount of carbs. I also have no issue eating seitan (made from gluten) or pasta. I think it's partly due to a few factors, most notably the sponge-like nature of the structure of yeasty breads (Other grains do take on liquid during preparation, but not thereafter). Unfortunately, what makes bread so good for mopping up sauces likely makes it very bad when coming into contact with the various juices that lubricate the pathways towards the stomach etc. I do find i eat bread a little too quickly i.e not chewing until sufficiently combined with saliva, and this no doubt has a huge impact on this issue. Moreover, the salt is just much higher than I normally eat. When I eat pasta or rice, I generally use a very little amount of salt. I notice the difference the minute bread touches my tongue. None of the above would be so much of an issue if I ate the occasional sandwich. But I have a hard time controlling it when it's in the house. And there are too many alternatives that I'd prefer to eat and that don't come with the same downsides. Nuts are definitely MOAAARR-ish! and I think salt can definitely be a driver in that. I used to only enjoy the salted ones, but since I tend (at least when i'm being healthy) towards minimal salt, I enjoy salt-free nuts much more. Any lack of flavour can be supplemented with nutritional yeast, although I'd argue that would lead to a potential tripling of consumption ;) [/QUOTE]
