I've switched to "wraps" using Buena Vida - Whole Wheat Tortilla for Low Carb Diets. 80 calories, protein, low carb. Don't miss the bread at all.0

Try wrapping in lettuce or eat the fillings on a bed of lettuce.
^This!There are low carb breads or you can try low carb tortillas. La Tortilla Factory makes a low carb one with 4 net carbs and it's really good.

I get romaine lettuce and make wraps with the lettuce. You would be surprised how full and satisfied you can be! I used to be a breadaholic, and have mostly eliminated it from my choices...once and a while it will happen on italian night, otherwise I find a substitute!0

tortilla's maybe? i use whole wheat medium tortilla shells for lots of stuff from sandwiches to pizza crust. Might give it a try
Yeah, this.0 -
Wheat Bread 35 to 50 calories. I was addict to buttered bread. I would to Zaxbys and say, give me a basket of bread or eat all the buttered croissants at Cheddars. But now, I have one slice of wheat bread. If I make a sandwich just one slice- have an open face sandwich0

Lettuce wraps.
I also make "cheeseburgers" on grilled eggplant slices. YUM! Or I scoop the filling I would normally put in bread in a halved pepper.
There are many ways to do it. Good luck! And get creative with it!0 -
I love the bell pepper idea! May have to try that.
As mentioned, 35 or 45 calorie bread (Healthy Life and Sara Lee both make some and they are fairly low carb), Joseph's pitas are good, especially toasted, and a low carb wrap is good (some aren't as low carb as they should be, so read the label).0 -
i know a friend of mine use to put provolone cheese slices in the microwave on wax paper till it got crunchy and then us it as bread and put the condiments inside she was on the no carb diet!0

LOVE Josephs low Carb lavish and pitas....just watch the sodium content. Also lettuce is lovely with hummus!!

As a mom with six kids, I have experience with the can't/won't eat sandwich crowd. I do a lot of Bento boxes for the kids, there are a lot of ideas out there that take lunch beyond sandwich. A good site to start is

Love this thread, have been thinking about cutting back on bread for some time now myself. Wonderful suggestions here!0

Orrow Sandwich Thins - Bread, 1 roll = 100 calories. They come in several different flavors. Honey Wheat, Mutli grain, Cinnamon and Raisin.0

also spring roll wrappers. 33 cals each0

Joseph's low carb pitas0

Do like KFC and put it between two chicken breasts.
This. Less carbs, more protein!
But seriously, I dislike lettuce wraps, but have found a few wraps with flax that I liked. Sara lee makes a 45 calorie bread, and open-faced sandwiches are barely different than a regular one!0 -
Raw red cabbage leaf...YUM!0
-
you could always, you know, just eat less bread. doesn't have to be all or none.
This isn't at all logical! Everyone knows you must cut out ALL of the foods you love to lose weight!!0 -
open-faced sandwiches are barely different than a regular one!
Totally agree....love open faced sandwiches...:-)0 -
Try wrapping in lettuce or eat the fillings on a bed of lettuce.
This is what I do and I love it.0 -
I use a low carb, high fiber, high protein tortilla as a wrap for lunch every day. Most of my friends on here have trouble finding it, but it is Ole Xtreme wellness, high fiber low carb tortilla wrap. They are yummy!0
