I'm not as strict paleo as many here, in that I enjoy many foods that
paleo man didn't have access to. Bread is one of them. I don't eat it
every day, but I don't worry about restricting it, either. I just have
some when I want some. It doesn't cause me any problems that I'm aware
of, so I see no need to banish it from my diet. I have done so in the
past, and didn't notice any difference (I did strict paleo for a while,
and later added back the bread).
However, having said all that, I almost never eat processed or
store-bought bread. The bread I eat is made in my kitchen, from fresh
ingredients, including wheat that I grind myself, eggs from my own
free-ranging chickens, honey from a local beekeeper, butter and milk from
a local dairy (one which doesn't use antibiotics or hormones), and sea
salt. No, it's not paleo, but it's still good food. My family doesn't
follow the same diet I do, but at least we all agree on the bread. :-)
