Can whole wheat make you fat?

Im dieting since like 5 weeks and sucessfully i had lost like 5 pounds. Now I'm looking foward to get toned by exercises. i was just reading and I didn't knew whole wheat can make you fat. Is this true? Cuz 3 times a week, i eat integral bread, juice, fruits, low fat cream cheese, food with a lot of fiber %26 whole wheat cereal with low fat milk. I eat this at least in the morning. I cook chicken only with water, little salt and pepper and lemon. i can have smashed potatoes with extra virgin oil and the cream cheese once in a while. I dont eat suger or soda or cakes.
Is this good?
My diet is based on fiber mostly. I love it.any suggestion will be welcome.
Answer:
You're not getting much protein, which builds muscles and burns fat. Add more vegetables and the rest is fine. Good luck.
Your diet sounds pretty good in a lot of ways, but you need more veggies. Whole wheat will only make you fat if you eat too much of it. Even lettuce will make you fat if you eat too much! It's the overall calories that count the most.
Losing weight is strictly a numbers game. Figure out how many calories you need to maintain your current weight (some Google searches should help). Then figure out how many calories you can eat to hit your target weight. If you exercise, you can eat more. Lifting weights is better than carido because the body uses calories even when you're not working out to break down and rebuild muscle. Cardio just burns the calories you exhaust during the workout itself.
ANYTHING CAN MAKE YOU FAT UNLESS IT HAS NO FAT AND NO SUGAR CARBS IN IT. YOU NEED TO CHEK THE LABELS. IT MAY BE LOW IN FATS, BUT MAY BE HIGH IN BAD CARBS..WHICH ARE SUGAR CARBS. BUT IT IS SO MINIMAL, YOU WOULDNT KNOW THE DIFFERENC IF YOU ECERCISE ANYHOW.AND YOU DONT NEED A HIGH FIBER DIET TO STAY TOMED. YOU NEED A COMBO OF PROTEIN, GOOD CARBS, AND EVEN FAT WITH A DECENT CALORIC INTAKE. WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS FINE AS FAR AS DIET. BUT MAKE SURE YOU EAT ENOUGH CALORIES WHILE YOU ARE TONING.
Whole wheat, just like everything else, can make you fat if you eat too much of it. Whole wheat is actually very good for you. It takes a long time for your body to break down the complex carbs that are in whole wheat. This helps keep you from getting hungry again.
Hey, Good Luck!
Your diet sounds good. You can add some vegetables but in my opinion potato isn't really good for diet. (Just my opinion)Don't believe everything you read in the papers. They can sometimes be wrong and they always change the facts for some reasons, you know. So, just stick with yours and keep exercising!
whole wheat isn't fatty its white,but u need wheat to balance veges fruit and grains and protein BALANCE
