I did, and I kind of regret it (empty carbs) but it tasted so good that I don't. And I didn't have any issues with it, even with the tighter feeling band. I chewed it good and moistened it with my soup.
I just don't want to fall back into the carb habit but i think if I stick with a calorie total every day and focus on my protein I can still be successful. I knew I wouldn't be able to avoid it forever...because what kind of life would that be? I won't eat it every day...and probably not even once a week...but one piece of bread on occasion won't ruin my life.
You've heard the saying that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, right? Well, a warm crusty baguette smeared with real butter comes pretty close!
LOL! I'm glad it went down well, and you enjoyed it. :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like your strategy to handle it is well thought out, too. :-)
I could eat bread now if I wanted to, and on a very rare occasion I do. But it is very rare. The second I eat it I am thinking about bread for days. And I love it smeared with real butter too!
ReplyDeleteI have bread of some kind now and again. I try not to eat it regularly. Your plan is a good one!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bread addict, and had no plans to give it up. But I've found with all the focus on protein, and trying to stay within a certain calorie range, that I just naturally eat less of it. It feels like a better balance than I had before.
