Many people have selected to decrease the amount of bread they eat.

If this is your choice, what do you eat instead?  If you continue to eat bread,

what types of bread products do you eat?

I enjoy eating toast with peanut butter for breakfast.  On a semi-regular

basis I replace the bread slice with a flavored rice cake.

Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Sourdough bread is my fave.

100% whole grain organic bread for me and dont plan on eliminating it from my diet. I too like a piece of toast with 100% pure peanut butter (i.e. Nothing but peanuts-no added salt or sugar, etc) or almond butter first thing in the morning.  Sometimes with some sliced banana on it too. I used to eat rice cakes on occasion when I was younger but not anymore.

Both are grain based foods, and neither work for me if I want to feel my best on a regular basis.

If I want peanut butter, I eat it on Granny Smith apples or on celery. Both combos are yummy!

Bread for me must be unbromated unbleached flour otherwise I don't buy it.  Bread is a downfall for me - like Oprah, I like bread and I know sometimes I eat too much of it.  It's hard for me not to.

But it MUST be unbromated.  It's getter a little easier to find it, some artisan breads and most times most of Pepperidge Farm is this way.

I have not totally eliminated bread but have reduced it from my food choices by eating it just once a week and sometimes once every other week and because I so seldom eat it, I am not always looking for organic.  For example twice a month I'll buy the French Brioche Hamburger Buns with organic grass fed Buffalo Meat and make hamburgers.  Here's the packaging for the buns which have a really good taste and dh loves them too.  Are they organic....I have no idea and I don't care. 

My other bread choice lately has been the Honey Wheat footlong roll they use at Subway....absolutely not organic which is normally all I eat but again I don't care because twice a month is all I consume and not even every month, I'm always changing up my food choices. I buy the rotisserie Chicken because it is free of antibiotics and hormones.  I do not use Subway's veggies and I do not use their dressing.  My veggies and dressing are organic and so I dress the sandwich at home.  I don't usually buy a loaf of organic bread anymore because it will go bad before it is finished. Neither of us eat it everyday and if we had it in the house, we'd snack on it which we don't want to do.  

For breakfast each day I consume a choc protein whey powder mixed with organic greens (a powder), organic whole husk psyllium and organic extra virgin coconut oil mixed with water.  It tastes really good and mixes really well.  

I eat salads with walnuts and I usually buy mache rosettes from Whole Foods.  It's really delicious.  I seldom build a salad anymore from their salad bar.  I'm over that although it took me a long time to kick the habit.  Got skeeved out a few times from kids poking the food and just couldn't do it anymore.  

I'm not a vegan (obviously).  I eat hardboiled eggs and chicken on occasion as well as bison. Smith's Kroger now sells roasted chickens that are also free of antibiotics and hormones.  Both dh and I like eating those.  We don't cook much although do cook more in the winter because it's so hot here in the summer we don't feel like heating up our kitchen.

I had to look this up!!! What a shock. How do you tell unbromated flours in your breads under the ingredients? Does that question make sense? What should I look for beyond Pepperidge Farm bread? Thanks.

I have a slice of multi-grain toast (dry) with my coffee, every morning.

@qualitygal thought I'd pop in to say that the label usually states if bromine was used.  When bromine is heated it turns into bromide which is bad for the body.
