Cutting out bread completely?

[Deleted User]

Has anyone done this? Wiping that amount of carbs from your daily intake has got to give good results?
I am thinking of doing this and also giving up wraps as I want to lose a couple of stone.

I love my bread and yes, when I wanted to lose weight, cutting it all out of my diet (but not pasta, rice or cereals) did help me a lot. I have re-introduced it because I do love it a lot, but now as a treat, so only once a week normally, rather than part of regular meals.

Good luck with your weight loss.

Don't forget you still need some fibre in your diet...

And that seeds whilst full of fibre oddly do not help overmuch whereas a big bowl of veg soup is much more cooperative, as well as tasting more fun.
Have you had a riffle through The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet: Lose weight fast and reprogramme your body. I found it both interesting & reassuring (& my GP had read it & OKed me to go for it.)
I also find an exercise & food tracking app helps me log Everything... which is very motivating, watching some numbers climb & others drop!

I only eat bread on special occasions/holidays .I do enjoy it, however I find that I am physically better without it. I have other carbs in smaller portions so don't miss out.

I have given up on all grains, so no wheat, oatmeal, or rice for health reasons. I have no problems with lack of fibre.

We can get all the fibre we need by eating plenty of vegetables, salads and fruit.

Since developing stomach issues after eating bread, i gave it up. Tried to reintroduce it but no good. Maybe a side effect but my ezcema has got loads better since cutting bread totally. Occasionally miss it but i am still alive!

I am thinking of giving up bread and potatoes. I know my problem will be lunches at work though as I am not a "salady" person and I love bread with my soup. Any lunchtime ideas?

Ryvitas are good with sardines or cheese on top or peanut butter for something sweet. Lots of fruit and nuts.
Tinned soup is convenient for work if you have a microwave.

Try using sweet potatoes as you would jacket potatoes.
Much better for you than regular potatoes.
