Mohammed Al-Ahmadi, professor of exercise physiology, has warned about the impact of white bread consumption on obesity and weight gain, citing a 2014 study involving 9,000 participants.

Speaking to Al-Saudiya TV, he said that eating two slices of white bread daily increases the likelihood of obesity and weight gain by 40 percent.

Al-Ahmadi noted that simply cutting out bread alone will not lead to weight loss, as it is just one factor. He added that foods such as ice cream, pizza, and sugary or carbonated drinks are even more harmful.
