how can I stop eating white toast when it's always around?

Well, the first thing you could do would be to look at the ingredients. They're pretty much poison :P If not poison, at least unnecessary. You feel hungry after eating them because they spike your blood sugar (if I remember correctly) and then you crash, making you crave the white carbohydrates even more. It's a vicious cycle. Try buying a loaf of whole wheat bread for yourself (be careful- a lot of whole grain breads are rip offs) or try something else (like a few raisins). I usually grab a strawberry when I'm feeling hungry/bored and just want something to eat, and it really works. Also try filling yourself so full of water you don't even want any food.

PS: If you choose a few raisins, I have a technique : Roll the raisin around in your fingers and soften it before you eat it. If you have even 5 raisins, this rolling and moving around will not only make you forget your craving, but satisfy you more. No, I have no scientific evidence of this, just my own experience! :laugh:


I've had to overcome my family constantly having cheesey breads, baked goods, flaky pastries, and other food around me all the time. It's hard, and sometimes I still find my fingers straying in for just a taste. But thats the thing : It's a taste. Maybe just have 1 piece of toast around and only allow yourself to snack on it? One bite WILL satisfy you.


Best of luck!

Question: How can I stop eating white toast

Answer: Just stop eating it if you don't wanna eat it. Mind over matter.

I'm sure there's other stuff in the house to eat.

^^^ This all the way! You're the only one that decides what actually goes into your mouth! If you must have it, treat yourself at the weekend...

go feed the birds it, ha ha

Start by buying a loaf of this brand of bread. Its so good and its healthy for you. Silver hills bread. I used to have an addiction to White bread as well but once I got into Silver hills there has been no going back..

Minus willpower - Duct tape, over mouth.

With willpower - simply ignore it.

I've tried to stop eating it, because it really doesn't help me lose weight, it's always around the house, I still live with my big family, I can't control what we eat, sometimes it's the only basic food that we have.

I stopped eating white rise, I don't even like it anymore, I had this happen to me with toast but I can't remember how I relapsed! lol the problem with it, that it increases my appetite, and all I want is to eat, and I forget all the habits I've learned.

can my will get so strong that I stop eating it? any word of advice is appreciated.

Which do you want more? White toast or achieving your goal? Only you can know this.

He's got a series of articles called "Why Are We Hungry?". Really intersesting reading.

I can't control what we eat.

This is the part that you need to fix. You CAN control what *you* eat. Stop allowing your dependence on your family to take over even what you ingest.

Here's what worked for me.. it may be helpful to you.
Cut it into 16 tiny squares. Eat each square, one at a time. Chew it completely. Be mindful of the taste and texture . When I did this, it simply tasted like I was swallowing glue. That was the end of me and white bread. I transitioned to one slice of whole grain toast from there and only had a piece when I enjoy a poached egg (rarely). It is very, very rare that I eat a sandwich now.. and honestly, I don't really enjoy them .
