I love bread. Yummy. Everything in moderation. NOTHING wrong with bread17

I log the bread, then I eat the bread. That is my mechanism for controlling my bread intake.37

I eat bread everyday10

Eat the bread, log the bread. Nothing wrong with bread.18

Eat it and account for it... I love bread but I eat it rarely as I've learnt there are foods that satisfy and satiate me more12

Yes, I usually save bread eating for really good bread.

Lifestyle changes.......
Cut back on the amount of bread you eat, or choose lower calorie bread. Find something you can live with even after you are "done dieting." This will help you with maintenance.7 -
Ya gotta decide what the problem is, first. The mere act of eating bread is not a problem.
My experience, too much bread leads to binging. too much bread leads to constipation. too much bread means I'm not eating enough veggies.
I substituted one meal for a veggie based meal--lettuce, bean, or brocoli salad. I choose lunch. I still eat grain-based breakfast (hot/cold cereal). I still eat good bread for dinner. I limit my wheat-based dinners to once or twice a month (hamburger, pasta, pizza). I only rarely eat a sandwich anymore.

I stick to sprouted bread other than the occasional weekend meal out. I never buy regular bread in and have not done so for sometime. I find it tends to bloat me up and although I love eggs on toast as much as the next person, it is becoming less and less worth it to me.2

Hello @emmamay994, It's been minutes since you posted this discussion so I'll answer supposing that you'll come back and read these responses. While indeed at this time I do have some bread in my daily meals, I don't have bread in all of them and I am interested in limiting the number and type of bread I consume.
It all comes down to planning. If you plan your meals and control your meals, you can successfully keep bread out of your mouth. At the drive-through burger joint, ask for the buns to be replaced with leaves of lettuce. At the restaurant, ask for the salad to be delivered without croutons.1 -
So disappointed. I hoped this would be a bread love thread.8

I used to be addicted to bread too. White bread. At one point eating one = 4/5 slices. Funny enough I was eating the most bread when I was trying to restrict myself from it. One day I decided to scrap the restriction on bread and other things and over a 2 weeks or so the urge to eat more and quite frankly binge on it disappeared at together. That thought doesn't e even register in my brain anymore.
LPT: Freeze your bread. I'm pretty sure that'll help you out.5 -
I had a serious problem with bread and cereal. I would eat buttered toast as a snack... often. I realized that in order to start eating healthier I had to reign it in - so I cut out bread for two weeks. I didn't go zero carbs - just cut out my go-to's. No bread. No sandwiches. No pasta. No cereal. No rice. Two weeks.
Doing all or nothing was much easier for me than trying to limit. After the two weeks, I went back to eating bread but I had started calorie counting, and I found I don't want to waste calories on cereal so I haven't had it. And I don't have bread every day. It takes too many calories away and doesn't leave me feeling satisfied.
May be worth a try. Worked for me9 -
I love bread and used to be addicted, particularly to several late night sandwiches.
Now I have 2 slices along with egg for breakfast/lunch and am more satisfied than when I used to have 6 slices with those sandwiches.
Everything in moderation, as long as it fits your calories for the day, whats the harm?4 -
Treat it like a piece of cake. Very interesting fact: your body have higher glycimic impact on bread rather then on cake. Do u eat cakes every day????17
-
I try and stick to one slice a day. Sourdough bread is delish! Plus a much better option than white bread.5
-
I love bread but had to back away from it. I only eat homemade bread a few times a year.1
-
I eat two slices of sprouted whole grains bread every day. Only 60 calories per slice.3

Don't try to give it up all at once. Cut back a little at a time.5 -

I guess my question is it a whole loaf (much easier to kick) or a bunch of slices (much harder to kick). If it is slices, you'll need to leave them in the bag. But you still won't get the same distance as a whole loaf.
Do not kick frozen bread. I broke my toe doing that.15 -
No need to kick bread or pasta or white potatoes to the side but they are calorie dense so they prevent you from eating other things. I find I'm eating (and making, for that matter) much less bread because I want room in my calories for cheese more than bread. To me, an ounce of good cheese at about 110 calories is more satisfying than a 110 calorie slice of bread or half-a-slice of bread with a little butter. If I'm going to spend calories on flour-based food, let it be fresh pasta!2

I eat bread every single morning (except sometimes on weekends when I have waffles or pancakes for breakfast). You have to decide if it is worth the calories to you and if it keeps you satisfied.3

Noop, almost the same. Plus, any bread flour contain phytoglucans which gives more glycimic impuct than any high fat cakes14 -
A quick search says 1oz of chocolate cake = 104 cal. 1 oz of French bread is 74 cal. Glycemic impact has zero effect on how those calories are burned. CICO.5

Yep, bread has a higher glycemic index than cake. It's true. It's not just about calories. Higher GI foods spike blood glucose.5

It probably depends on how the cake was made. Chocolate cake A could be very different from chocolate cake B and C. Gotta make sure it's the right cake you're looking at. Besides, cakes and breads are different but I agree with the CICO part. For that 104kcal of chocolate cake. I'd rather opt for the 74cal of bread and slap some chicken on there.2 -
For bread vs cake, another thing I've noticed from my experience is I could eat ~200-250 calories worth of bread and stop, but with cake, generally 200-250 calories won't satiate me as much. I could easily consume twice as many calories from cake if not more.6
