“Freezing turns that sourdough bread into a resistant-ass starch, basically prebiotic gold for your gut.”

What Happens If You Stop Eating Bread for 14 Days?

Hello it’s Dr. Kevin Cutthebul, MD and you’re reading The Saturday Scalpel.

Now, put the toast down.

Yes, you.

This is an intervention.

Today’s episode of “What If You Stopped Doing the Thing That’s Quietly S***ing You” is about bread.

Not artisanal sourdough kissed by a Parisian baker at sunrise, because that’s actually good for you and I have added the secret recipe below.

(Yes, you can download it for free.)

I’m talking about modern, factory-made, shelf-stable, mood-destroying bread.

Let’s run a 14-day experiment.

No bread. No buns.No wraps pretending they’re “high protein.”

Just… stop.

Here’s what actually happens when you ghost bread for two weeks.

First: what the hell is even in bread?

Besides vibes and nostalgia?

Most modern bread contains:

• Gluten (the protein that half your gut is beefing with)

• Refined grains (basically sugar wearing a trench coat)

• Added sugar (why is this even here?)

• Starch (blood sugar go brrrr)

• Texture conditioners & mold inhibitors 

• Phytates (nutrient thieves that block zinc, calcium, and iron)

• Glyphosate (yes, the weed killer… surprise!)

So yeah. Your body isn’t thrilled.
