Giving up Bread hubby and I are abstaining for the summer

I too am trying to change my eating style by cutting down on carbs. Weird thing is I thought i would be successfull in never eating bread again. I had a feeling my will power would carry me through the journey of leaving bread....but hey 3 days later and Im freaking crzy. I have been longing for bread, and yeah in a way Im having withdrawals..no lie. I used to eat atleast 8 servings of bread in various ways a day so why ever did I think I could just quit.
Wut I learned: you cant just quit cold turkey...its impossible.
Start by taking out certain things like say, one less piece of toast a breakfast, skipping an extra bowl of rice. Moderation is the key. You must take it one day at a time.

Wow, the original post is almost a year old, so I've got to wonder how the plan worked. Did you stick to it, did you lose the weight, and did you keep it off?

Personally, I don't think this is the best idea, I understand trying to cut down on refined carbs, but I think moderation is key. Carbs are not evil and once you return to eating carbs you will gain most of the weight back. That being said, damascus flax flat bread is the best, i used it to make sandwiches, wraps, and pizza.
