    I Love bread... I'm a big sandwich person

    Nothing wrong with eating bread as well as the other "yummy" foods. :) I work in about 3/4 cup of ice cream every night for myself, personally! It's all about moderation.

    If more people knew how to cook, and cared about what they ate, no one would say things like,

    I think if you really stick to it and are determined to change how you eat, your tastes will change right along with them. I used to be a huge sweets person and now i'm really not. I don't add sugar into anything, i rarely use salt, I no longer like fried foods. Those previously delicious foods, are just not delicious anymore. I however just ate a peach and omg yumminess! There's nothing wrong with pastas or breads, just watch the portions. I tend to gravitate away, because they make me feel heavy and lethargic. II can take or leave it now. I'd much rather have my sandwich wrapped in crunchy lettuce then bread anyway. Although if a recipe I want calls for it, i'll have it. One of my all time favorites was always lasagna, but now i find it heavy and unsatisfying, unless it's made a particular way.

    Spices are my best friend. I'm also experimenting with different types of oils. Since I don't really like oil all that much, but it's good for you. i'm trying to find alternatives. :)

    It's really individual too. A friend of mine loses better with a high carb diet then me. I do better with a higher protein diet. So listen to your body as well

    I love sandwiches too. Sandwich wraps help me. There are several 90-100 calories wraps on the market that are tasty. I add the same things I'd add to any sandwich, plus a little more leafy stuff. Buffalo chicken wraps with Franks Red Hot Buffalo sauce and a little blue cheese is one of my favorites!

    And I by thinner breads, such as Arnold's Sandwich thins for things like pbj that just don't work well in a wrap.

    Have you tried sandwich flats or 45 calorie bread?

    Didn't read all the responses, but instead of mayo I use hummus and I freaking love it. Especially red pepper hummus with turkey and pepper jack cheese.

    I didn't read everything, so if I am repeating, I apologize.

    You don't have to give up anything. Keep those sandwiches. I love them. But here are some things I have done to keep my sandwiches (and pizza,, cheese sticks, wings, beer, brownies, onion rings, Taco Bell, McDonald's, etc) in my diet. Front load on veggies or salad. I will always start out with a big salad or some veggies (today i had green beans, corn and mashed potatoes). They can be filling so I'm not tempted to have 4 sandwiches (or slices of pizza).

    Occasionally, if there's a dressing I want - like a mayo or chipotle ranch, I might skip the cheese if I think the dressing will overpower the taste. Sometimes, cheese is essential.

    Log everything. The most valuable thing to me about this site was learning what i was putting in my body and what i was burning and how to manage/balance those so I could do this without giving up anything.
