Nice! I don't eat bread either but only because I don't like it. Bread tastes so sweet to me, it's disgusting.0

A lot of what people say about additives in factory bread is overstated, but this one is fair - they add a lot of sugar. As a bread maker it annoys me, as it is totally unnecessary. I add no sugar to my white bread (I do add it to wholemeal as it brings out the flavour, but there is no technical necessity for it). Factory bread tends to have more salt than necessary as well.5 -

So it doesn't mold or go stale before it's sold. Homemade bread lasts one day in my house.3 -

This also varies from place to place. I think Australian bread has less sugar. I went to the US and couldn't eat any factory bread at all because the amount of sugar made me feel sick.1 -
Congrats on your success.
Although you lost weight because you reduced your calorie consumption, not due to giving up eating bread.4 -

True. The closer it gets to cake, the longer it keeps! I've got up to three or four days with the home made stuff, by keeping it in a sealed plastic box but wrapping it in a cloth to absorb moisture. Still, enriched breads do keep longer.

Reduce yes, entirely eliminate, no..

Or if you just don't want to eat bread.6 -

One reason to eliminate it is because someone chooses to...for whatever reason.
There is nothing magical about bread...personally I would rather have a cookie. Cookies...well good ones...are magical. IMO10 -

Exactly! People can have a variety of reasons and make their own choices. Why would someone think they can decide what "the only reason" can be for someone else?5 -

I believe that some people think that if you choose to eliminate a specific food that you must have an eating disorder...or you have no will power...no self control...no something or another. If you eliminate something you are doomed for failure. I don't know...
I seldom eat bread and my stomach thanks me for it. I guess that means I have no something or another. Oh well...I am okay with that.2 -

I use Abbotts village bakery- Harvest seeds and grains bread which has 3g sugar per 2 slices (84g). I *think that's comparable to most American seeded breads.0 -
well done
keep up the good work0 -

I must be eating the wrong bread. The last time I had a ham sandwich it tasted like a piece of ham in between 2 pieces of cake with mustard. So gross.0 -

sure, but by doing so don't think that the weight loss is from eliminating evil breads...
If people want to torture themselves into not eating bread then go for it; however, there is another way where one can actually eat the foods they enjoy and still lose weight...
OP indicated that they enjoy bread, so I don't know what benefit they get from trying to completely eliminate something that they like...4 -

because these boards are filled with misinformation about evil breads and sugars and all kinds of other boogeyman ...barring a medical condition there is no reason to eliminate bread, unless one does not like the taste of it...8 -
I went back and read through the posts. No one called bread evil. They don't eat bread because...
A. It helps control their calories
B. They don't like bread
C. Bread doesn't agree with their stomachs
I understand all three of those reasons especially "C". I have a yeast intolerance so breads that contain yeast has been take off my diet.5
