I used to think that the thought of life without bread was totally depressing and that it would be such a sacrifice.
Here is my own transformation out of bread story....
With the exception of 1 cheat meal per week (sat nites) Jerry & I no longer eat any grains, breads, etc...just meats, veggies, a little fruit, tubers, squash, berries & nuts. It wasn't always that way though... I think around the year 2000 when we went to our first nutritionist he educated us on over-eating the carbs so then we slowly started to make changs but everything we did involved trying to find bread substitutes becuz, just like everyone else, we too couldn't stand the thought of giving it up :). So then came the ezekial breads, the soy flour products (like adkins muffins, breads, etc) and the low carb wraps, etc and found ourselves just getting more and more frustrated. I remember Jerry always saying that there is "nothing" he can eat anymore - ha ha! Well, it took a few yrs but once we figured out that there is an entire world of natural foods out there that taste better & are better for us, but we had to get over the mindset first & start experimenting with new foods. :) Gosh, it took Jerry nearly 8yrs to be ready but I used myself as a living experiment and was a convert in about 3yrs...so not a very speedy thing by any means but now I teach my diet clients who are ready how to do it so that's they don't have to go thru all the feelings of confusion about what to eat instead etc. Its really prety cool :)
