Re: Sugar and bread are not my friends.

Increasing the protein in your diet will help reduce/eliminate sugar cravings.  A teaspoon of peanut butter, almond butter, or an individual carton of yogurt, or a small serving of walnuts, almonds or pistachios.

When I used to go in restrictive diets in the past, I used to crave peanut butter.

Salt and bread aren't my friends either..... Put a potato chip next to a cookie and I will take the chip!! Not good....and bread...I can eat several slices of fresh Italian bread in a heartbeat!

 

I slowly cut out bread and I limit myself to the lower salt chips to once a week.....feel so much better....


 

Put a potato chip next to a cookie near me, and I will put the potato chip on top of the cookie and shove both into my mouth!

I really doubt the starving little children in other countries would agree with this statement.

Note what I bolded in SeaMaiden's post.  She said "the world".  Starving people would love bread and sugar.  It is also OK in moderation.  I eat bread every day (like Oprah LOL) and I am losing on WW.

I'm not a big bread eater.   I throw out more bread than I eat.   Hubby eats bread with meals, the only time I do is with beef stew.   

 

I do eat stuff with sugar in it tho, but I don't crave it.  Once in awhile I'll want a donut or a candy bar.   I don't keep it or chips in the house.

Yes and rice contains dangerous levels of arsenic, cadmium, selenium and other toxic substances.
