Hello
@mysterylady
Welcome to the forum. Bread was my weakness too and I didn't think I could give it up without finding a substitute. I initially bought rye bread and Swedish crackers but realised from reading this forum (and also the packets!) that they were high carb too. Once I started going low carb I didn't miss the bread and still don't.
I had lunch with clients today who had ordered a working lunch during our meeting and I was unexpectedly faced with a beautiful stack of artisan breads but managed to pass on them all and just took cold cuts of meat, smoked salmon and salads. I could never have refused beautiful bread like that in the past, but managed to today and didn't miss it or feel hungry.
The best substitute for bread snacks are celery sticks spread with pate or soft cheese. That way I still feel I'm getting the flavour and texture of sandwich fillings, but without the bad carbs. Since low carbing I've had no cravings, nor felt hungry. It was an increidbly easy and instant transition to make . I'm now in Week 3 and feeling so much better, with more mental clarity, more energy and improved blood sugar levels
But I'm no expert. I'm still finding my way round, but have had a lot of encouragement and support from other members here.
I hope this helps. Good luck with it all
