My food addiction seems to be plain bread.It's really fattening and provides the organism with zero nutrients. So I've decided to cut it out of my life.Wish me luck!

    Why??

    My normal bread is 90 calories for 2 slices with 6g of protein, 2 fat, and 5 fiber. Or sometimes I will treat myself with my favorite. 2 slices for 200 calories with 10g of protein, 4 fat, and 8 fiber. Looks like a lot of good nutrients to me.

    Good luck with that though. I tried cutting it and ended up over doing it a few days later.

    Carbs! Yummy-ness! Pair it up with peanut butter and you hit all your macros. It's got a soft fluffy middle and crunchy edges. What is there not to love?

    All food is fattening if you eat too much of it. I store my bread in the freezer and have one or two slices a day.

    You are right.But you see...if I eat one slice then suddenly I end up eating the entire thing. :(

    Hence, the freezer. Slows you down until your frontal lobes have time to engage.

    I was diagnosed with Celiacs in June of 2013. It took me about 2 months to really get over my loss. I honestly mourned for weeks.. Now I don't miss it at all. It is a bit of a pain to eat out but in the end, It is lovely! My best advice.. don't try to eat gluten free products! Just eat foods that are naturally gluten free. Abstinence is your friend when giving up bread!!!

    OP- I feel ya! Some foods tend to send me into a downward spiral >:) . White bread for me is one of them. I had to so some searching for what I felt was a good compromise. I tend to stick to the higer fiber wraps and high protein flatbreads. You know your body better than anyone, if you feel certain breads play a negative role in your weight loss...I say go for it.

    Well said! I recently finished a gluten challenge and was screened for Celiac (talking to the GP next month) In addition to some digestive issues, gluten gives me eczema head to toe, and it clears up every time I go off it and I'm a little skeptical of gluten free products right now. It does feel a little bit like filling a diet with more starchy carbs and sugar than my liking. Cutting out gluten naturally has made me balance my diet, have more calorie mileage and get more nutrients than I was before.

    Unless you actually have a gluten allergy or Celiac's, which is more rare than people these days think it is with the whole Gluten Free craze going on right now, you don't need to give up bread. Just go for an option that is high in fiber and whole grains. Yes, white bread doesn't have nearly as much nutrition value and is highly processed, but even that does have nutritional value. Everything you put in your mouth has SOME kind of nutritional value, even if it is just the carbohydrates for your body to break down into glucose for immediate energy :)

    It's perfectly ok to eat bread in reasonable portion sizes. Just go for whole wheat or whole grain bread, and the fresher the better, since it has not been processed nearly as much.
