Hellooo,
I Was just wondering if anyone had stopped eating bread and if so what do u substitute it with as i love a good sarnie, not overly keen on wholemeal!
thanks x
I love bread but I have to say that I dont eat it that often since doing SW. I agree with the ladies above though - it doesn't HAVE to be 2 flimsy slices from a 400g loaf x
I agree about the unappetising nature of sliced wholemeal bread.. But... You can get some really really good wholemeal bread. The fresh uncut loafs from the co-op are really delicious as are the wholmeal baguettes from morrisons. If you combine some syns and healthy extra you can have some really nice thick delicious slices of bread.
If you want to keep off the bread, i fully understand. I have found myself munching on wholemeal pitta bread (co-op about 60p for more than you can eat before they go off), a short time in the oven/grill/microwave and cut them open, you can fill up with all kinds of fillings, or just have with your main meal. One wholemeal pitta bread equal healthy extra.
You can get used to the pitta breads, not very substantial though.
I 'think' since beginning SW (5th March this year) the only bread (other than wholemeal) that I've had is 1 slice of melba toast and a soup roll at a wedding! I love white bread but would much rather use my syns on wine or chocolate (such healthy choices lol). The only bread that I REALLY miss is the herb and cheese bread from subway *sob*. I think after a few weeks you stop missing it..sort of the same with everything, I was a chinese fiend, maybe 2 or 3 per week. I've only had 1 since starting SW.
It is strange about not missing bread. I am the same. I prefer to use my HE on some cereal or crisp breads. I need the crunch factor.
I don't miss chocolate either (gasp!!)
I do miss shop bought humus, cheese, crisps and salad cream. Weird huh! The low fat or SW alternatives don't work for me.
