Stay with the program. This is not bad, it will assist you in your fat burning process. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

It may sometimes seem you are gaining instead of losing at first, and this may in fact be true due to increase in muscle mass at a faster rate than fat loss. But, stay with it, because this same muscle mass will eventually be your best friend in the fat loss wars. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

Also you said you'd switched to multigrain from whole wheat - having more variety is great but most multigrain breads just use the multiple grains for flavor and texture over a plain white bread base - so the whole wheat bread, if it says 100% whole wheat, may be a better choice.
