help bread substitution???
Ok...so don't eat bread.
In place of a sandwich...do a lunch meat roll up (I LOVE them with onions and pepper and a bit of ranch dressing).
Instead of toast...don't do toast.
Ummmmm...what else do we need bread for?
I don't eat very much bread anymore at all. I don't think it's bad, there's just a million and a half things I'd rather eat than bread. So for me cutting it out wasn't that hard. Perhaps if you could give some examples of what you find hard to eat without bread...?

i would try to just stay away from it. It is a true empty calories, makes you feel full quick but burns off quick making you hungry sooner and more often leading to eating again and adding more calories, and we all know what happens as our calorie count goes up.
But if you must have some kind of bread at least make it a whole grain bread ( a complex carbohydrate, starch, that releases energy slowly)

Bread is evil. (I got that you were kidding) then you say "I would stay away from IT" (without any reference to which "it" you were referring to).
And my last sentence said whole grains had MORE benefits than just slow energy release.
So, my comments stand. Info like that can be confusing to newer folks and I felt clarification was warranted.
...And after all this IS the land of free speech as you said, right?
