Try spegetti squash in microwave for 12minuets depends on what size. Also trust God of all creation for your baby and yourself. He will0

Cheers guys! I wanna try sweet potatoes they sound good! I just want to cut down on them, but i have a habit of a lifetime to deal with, as every meal i have either has one or the other included in that meal. Thanks for suggesting alternatives0

Ole Xtreme Wellness brand has a high fibre low carb tortilla that is very good; I'm not a big bread eater, but my hubby likes the Arnold/Brownberry (same company) smooth texture high fibre bread. (0 calories and 8 grams of fibre.0

Dont cut it out just moderate it. Everything is good for you just in moderation. I started to limit my bread to one time a day. Thats it.0

If you must have bread buy Ezekiel bread. It's pretty good toasted.
This! Love Ezekiel bread...in the freezer section. They've also come out with ezekiel tortillas. 100% sprouted grains, no flour, and fantastic I don't eat a lot of bread to begin with, but I use this kind of bread for an open-faced sandwich (one slice) and add a fruit or vegetable on the side in place of the other slice.0 -
Mashed cauliflower, prepare them just like you would prepare mashed potatoes.0

You don't have to give up the bread and potatoes if you don't want to. I chose to give up the fat and animal products and I am now healthier than I have ever been, eating up to 80% carbs/day. Both my husband and myself are off of ALL our medications (high blood pressure, heart arrythmia, acid-reflux, etc). I really love my potatoes, particularly red and golden, although I do admit to rarely eating bread.
There's a lot of science and studies out there to support whichever type of diet you wish to pursue. Just like the Paleo followers who believe that the science they quote is accurate, I too feel that the science behind my diet is sound. Clearly, most of us can agree that the SAD (Standard American Diet) is harmful and is causing heart disease, cancer and diabetes. It's the details where we cross paths. I encourage you to do your research, read the studies, read who sponsors the studies and make your own conclusions.0 -
Don't cut carbs, just eat BETTER carbs... whole grain breads and sweet potatoes.0

Bread: Sara Lee 45 Calories. 90 calories for two slices0

those ****aki noodles are filling, a little on the bland side, you have to spice them up with a veegie sauce0

what every one else said! sweet potatoes and whole grain bread! if you don't like whole grain, there are the sandwich thins. i believe they are about 110 cals/ sandwich unlike regular bread thats ~200/sandwich.
also there is ezekiel bread, its in the frozen section. i like it, i use it for open face sandwiches and toast. its loaded with good stuff and ~80cals per slice depending which variety you buy.0 -
Food For Life Sprouted Grain Bread is more "green" than "grain", so better for you. Also, I read the suggestions for mashed sweet potatoes and mashed cauliflower...hmmm, I think I will mash them both together...sounds delicious!0

Burgen's Linseed bread is about the lowest carb on the UK market, but it's still a lot of carbs per slice. Bread is a carb concept, so no real substitute that is low carb.0

Not sure what would replace bread, but I just tried a replacement for potatoes that I think is really yummy. Jerusalem artichokes or Sunchokes. You can boil, bake, sautee, steam, or eat them fresh. They are the tubers from the sunflower plant. They have a nutty flavor and are a little lower in calories and carbs. They are a great source of potassium, as are potatoes.0

Rice cakes, 1/2 of sweet potato,edemame (high protein, but also high calories) double up on veggies fill half your plate with veggies,0

Baked sweet potatoes are also seriously good with cottage cheese or natural yoghurt, with snipped chives if you like. Have fun experimenting!0 -
I replace all my potatoes with cauliflower! Mashed cauliflower is the BEST! Just prepare it like you would mashed potatoes!
This works better IMO with parsnips. You can treat parsnips pretty much exactly like potatoes. They're just a little trickier to find. GREAT flavor though.0 -
I switched to Oroweat Sandwich Rounds (100 calories) for my sandwiches, and have recently started eating Thomas Bagel Thins (110 calories). Both are very tasty, and work very well with the diet.0

More bread and potatoes! They are good for you!0

As you cut out carbs you will crave them less and less, High fiber bread is very satisfying
Potatos, there is no replceing them, I love them. but only allow myself 1 baked potato
a week. Steamed califlower with butter is alot like potatoes.0 -
I eat cous cous and rye bread0

I make sandwiches with Arnolds Multigrain Sandwich thins which are only 100 calories. For mashed potatoes...you can substitue cauliflower.
^^^^^this^^^^ my in laws do atkins pretty regularly, and my SIL used to bring "mashed faux 'tatoes" to thanksgiving. If done correctly, they taste pretty darn good! and the texture can be almost the same....0 -

TBH, you don't have to cut out all breads. You want 100% whole grain/whole wheat breads for nutrients and fiber you can get from them, not to mention, they are a filler, and help you fill up. Potatoes aren't so bad either, but I think it depends on who you ask... :happy: Try sweet potatoes, or if you want "mashed potatoes" without the actual potatoe? Try using cauliflower... I've been told it's like potatoes, but I'm not so convinced... You don't want to completely cut out the things you love, if you do, you'll never stick to it. Allow yourself some things - in MODERATION. :happy: I'm having to learn this myself...0
