didnt know where to put this

[tracker1]

this is going to sound realy weird(well to me anyway) i ate like a pig last night. at least it was good food just way too much. ive noticed that every time i eat bread doesnt matter what kind withen a few hours im very hungry for more or just hungry period. and as of today i dont want to touch it anymore. ive done atkins and i realy dont want to go there again but im wondering if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them. do i just stay away or are there other options?
good luck to everyone

Hi

Hello there

Shangrila here, yeah bread can get me to, and big time!

White bread tends to get me the most. I think it's because it tends to be made up of refined carbs (stripped down starchy-sugary non-nutritious rubbish) which gives you that intial energy boost and mmmm-factor then not to long after the blood sugar plumments leading to that craving-for-more feeling. Wholemeal bread is better for you (complex carbs - sturdy, helpful and energy-rich lovelies) and the highs and lows are far less extreme so blood sugar is less affected. Rye bread is good but can be an aquired tatse.

I find a mix of rye and wholemeal tastes really nice, feels substantial and for me has the least affect on blood sugar levels.

I go through periods of having no bread for a few weeks then I mabey have a roll here, a roll there. Whilst I do occaisionally have bread-monster moments and I make a point of never beating myself up about it, in the main I
er on the side of bread not being part of my regular diet.

Flat bread may be worth giving a go. Mmm factor there but doesn't send me bananas *lol*.

Good luck
