I love bread. Yummy. Everything in moderation. NOTHING wrong with bread

I log the bread, then I eat the bread. That is my mechanism for controlling my bread intake.

I eat bread everyday

Eat the bread, log the bread. Nothing wrong with bread.

Eat it and account for it... I love bread but I eat it rarely as I've learnt there are foods that satisfy and satiate me more

Yes, I usually save bread eating for really good bread.

Lifestyle changes.......

Cut back on the amount of bread you eat, or choose lower calorie bread. Find something you can live with even after you are "done dieting." This will help you with maintenance.

Ya gotta decide what the problem is, first. The mere act of eating bread is not a problem.

My experience, too much bread leads to binging. too much bread leads to constipation. too much bread means I'm not eating enough veggies.

I substituted one meal for a veggie based meal--lettuce, bean, or brocoli salad. I choose lunch. I still eat grain-based breakfast (hot/cold cereal). I still eat good bread for dinner. I limit my wheat-based dinners to once or twice a month (hamburger, pasta, pizza). I only rarely eat a sandwich anymore.

I stick to sprouted bread other than the occasional weekend meal out. I never buy regular bread in and have not done so for sometime. I find it tends to bloat me up and although I love eggs on toast as much as the next person, it is becoming less and less worth it to me.

Hello @emmamay994, It's been minutes since you posted this discussion so I'll answer supposing that you'll come back and read these responses. While indeed at this time I do have some bread in my daily meals, I don't have bread in all of them and I am interested in limiting the number and type of bread I consume.

It all comes down to planning. If you plan your meals and control your meals, you can successfully keep bread out of your mouth. At the drive-through burger joint, ask for the buns to be replaced with leaves of lettuce. At the restaurant, ask for the salad to be delivered without croutons.

So disappointed. I hoped this would be a bread love thread.

I used to be addicted to bread too. White bread. At one point eating one = 4/5 slices. Funny enough I was eating the most bread when I was trying to restrict myself from it. One day I decided to scrap the restriction on bread and other things and over a 2 weeks or so the urge to eat more and quite frankly binge on it disappeared at together. That thought doesn't e even register in my brain anymore.

LPT: Freeze your bread. I'm pretty sure that'll help you out.

I had a serious problem with bread and cereal. I would eat buttered toast as a snack... often. I realized that in order to start eating healthier I had to reign it in - so I cut out bread for two weeks. I didn't go zero carbs - just cut out my go-to's. No bread. No sandwiches. No pasta. No cereal. No rice. Two weeks.
Doing all or nothing was much easier for me than trying to limit. After the two weeks, I went back to eating bread but I had started calorie counting, and I found I don't want to waste calories on cereal so I haven't had it. And I don't have bread every day. It takes too many calories away and doesn't leave me feeling satisfied.
May be worth a try. Worked for me

I love bread and used to be addicted, particularly to several late night sandwiches.

Now I have 2 slices along with egg for breakfast/lunch and am more satisfied than when I used to have 6 slices with those sandwiches.

Everything in moderation, as long as it fits your calories for the day, whats the harm?

Treat it like a piece of cake. Very interesting fact: your body have higher glycimic impact on bread rather then on cake. Do u eat cakes every day????
