lol....... as one jammed pack with my "heroin " of choice, bread bread bread and more bread i certainly agree.... and commiserate???? with you.... i did pretty well with this addiction for the past 4 years (it took a diabetes 2 diagnosis to make this drastic change in my eating habits) ....rarely going near and when i did, like with a hamburger or a hotdog roll, i would peel off the top of the buns.... had maybe 4, really, not exaggerating here!! only 4 subs/grinders/hoagies (everyone calls 'em somethin' different! ) in those 4 years.... no pizza cause of the crust (i'd eat the mozzarella and topping, but not the crust)
but alas, all good health intentions seem to waver, you thought your addictions were gone and conquered, and then there you go again, chomping down on dave's killer bread..... ever had it? OMG, it's to die for and i'm having a terrible time (to the tune of 20 extra pounds over the past 2-3 months)

I've never had the Dave's bread and not curious for a second. I have no desire for breads. Going out today for early dinner with friend and may have meatloaf dinner which is served with mashed potatoes but I have NOT had white potatoes in months...I may have that or may have a late eggs benedict breakfast, haven't had that treat in many years.
Healthwise, one of their great salads would be best, but I have salads at home a lot.
Last thing I want to deal with with Type 2, arthritis is enough...

I cut out all "white foods" a few months ago, and no, I don't mean "food that white people eat." I mean wheat, sugar, potatoes, rice - and that includes bread and pasta. The crazy thing is that I don't miss it at all now. I mean AT ALL. I've also lost 30 pounds! And my blood work is perfect. I mean, beautifully text book perfect (except for a high platelet count but I have injured my wrist and I think that may account for it). For a formerly chunky post menopausal 56 year old grandma, I am surprised at how easy it has been to shed pounds by getting off mainly wheat (I've added back small portions of rice, sugar - as natural as possible - and even potatoes but the few times I've tried to add back wheat I've blown up like a blowfish).
Last weekend I was out of town with my sister in law and we went to an Irish pub. Of course I had to have a dark beer. Now - other than that I stuck to my guns perfectly. Gained two pounds. Lost them within 48 hours of returning. Now, several times a week I drink a glass of red wine and don't gain an ounce. So I do think that the beer - which was definitely not gluten free - was the culprit. I did find out though that Corona beer is gluten free so next time I'll have one of those!
I too eat Dave's bread, but our CostCo (only locally) has one that I like a lot better, it's a soft sprouted grain bread, it's hands down when of the best breads I've had, plus it is low on carbs.
I don't eat a lot of white carbs, never really had. But last night had a lentil soup with ham hocks and lots of veggies.... and mung beans because I was short on lentils.
I'll add quinoa and farro to salads... I'm pretty carb centric when left to my own devices.

I don't miss bread at all and I kinda laugh when I hear people say they "love bread"...I love my romaine lettuce leaves for my substitute bread slices for a snack sandwich. I ate a baked potato yesterday with the meatloaf dinner when I was out but that's it now for months at least. A friend brought me a container of dark choc raisins and cherries from TJ's when I came home from rehab and for a little while I would dip into them but have put the container in the refrig as I've even lost my taste for that sugar. I get plenty of sugar otherwise in more healthy foods. Plus keeping the teeth in good health. Lord knows they suffered when I ate all those carbs most of my early life.

Carb free doesn't mean the same thing as gluten free. You can be on a low carb diet and still eat things with gluten. In fact, it has been said that going gluten free - unless you have celiac disease - is actually harmful. I could post a ton of links, but you might be better off and better informed if you just look it up yourself.
