    i myself love eating bread mostly Italian bread and even though i know its bad its hard to give up but one way in which i did start to give it up is now i am away from home at school eating dining hall food and there is no good bread around here so i have kind of had to give it up but i know once it gets to the holiday season bread is a big part of my family holiday meals.

    I have tried but its not going to happen....
    I have been trying different things to help my Fibromalgia... I have went gluten free for a month. No surgar. No grains...
    But the only diet that has helped me is by not eating anything in the nightshade family...(potatoes- eggplant-bell peppers)
    I usually only eat 1 Pc of rye or sourdough bread daily...

    Hi, there. I gave up bread three weeks ago. Actually, anything with gluten (wheat, barley, oats). And I cut down on carbs a fair amount. The intention was to see if it affects my arthritis pain. I haven't yet noticed a reduction of arthritis pain, but almost immediately I noticed that my stomach was a lot more settled. I eat rice and quinoa as starch, and corn torillas. I didn't eat much bread before this, so it wasn't a huge challenge for me.

    I also get carbs from other things though.
    Brown rice, vegetables, sweet potato, oatmeal.
    You should try it :)

    Mine is wheat toast and bagels. I do the multi grain thins and that seems to help. To be honest I try not to do too many carbs like pasta or bread or then I seem crave them more. I have not given up bread though just made different choices like tortillas, bagel thins ect. I still have to watch the raisin cinnamon bagel thins.

    I very rarely eat bread. But I never was much of a fan to begin with. I think white bread is disgusting!

    I've been doing Paleo for about five weeks. Although, I have my bites here and there, I'm not supposed to. It is tough, but I am becoming more and more dedicated, Once I can make some coconut/almond flour bread, I will be fine. :) It's expensive though, so it will definitely only been on special occasions. Since starting Paleo, I've felt great with a ton of energy, I sleep better, and my skin is much clearer.Plus, I'm losing weight much quicker :) I think the rewards outweigh the temporary happiness that bread gives me. :) It has been an interesting start to a lifestyle change.

    Well said^^^

    We only say "I will never give up" this or that when we do not desire results like you have experienced more.

    I achieved the same results without eliminating bread, so why bother?

    I'm gluten and wheat intolerant so, yeah... I've given it up. I could get gluten free bread, but at $8 a loaf, I think I'll pass. I may start baking my own some day, but I don't have space in my macro for it. I eat too many veggies.

    I am doing low carb, I will eat bread on occassion but try to limit my intake. I have gone months with no bread and had no ill effects. It is something I do miss but it hasnt caused me any hardships.
    Give it a try and see what happens

    My problem is that once I start eating it, it is VERY difficult for me to stop at just 1 or 2 slices, often if I have "one" slice I will end up eating 10-12. I don't necessrily want to give it up for weight loss purposes, but just because bingeing on it makes me feel crap in general, very sick and bloated. Rice, sweet potato, etc are fine though.

    I have started eating the Healthy Life 35 calories a slice bread, I also tried the Flatout light wraps which are great and I use the flour tortillas that are about 40 calories each for sandwich wrap alternatives, tacos, and even making pizzas too. I even got my hubby eating the healthy low calorie bread, maybe there is hope for him as well. lol

    I might eat bread once a week. I dont miss it at all. Add lettuce or spinach to the guts of a sandwich as a "filler". Pass on the the bread/rolls when you eat dinner. I will eat it as a treat like a cinnamon roll.

    I haven't had bread in 3.5 weeks. Feels good not to consume those excess carbs :)

    I tried to give up on bread... but that did not last very long. I try to just eat something small in the morning that way I am not craving it through out the day.. Just keep drinking water . I tend to do that when I am feeling an urge coming on . Hope that helps.
