Carbs = downfall

I dont know how go combat the cravings! Everything I eat has too many carbs. Any brands of bread or crackers or anything that don't have a horrendous amount??

I found the best way to get rid of the cravings was just to accept that, at least for me, certain carbs are like alcohol to an alcoholic. Once I limited my carbs to the low carb vegies and stopped using anything that had sugar, wheat or gluten in it, my cravings actually stopped.

Low carb crackers are hard to come by and most of them aren't your normal "cracker." Low carb bread can be found online usually. I eat P28 Bread, which is high protein/fiber and pretty low carb. You may want to do a Google search for "low carb bread" and see what you find. Thomas makes pretty low carb english muffins, and you can find low carb wraps as well. Not exactly bread but a good replacement.

Eating carbs may make you crave even more carbs, especially if they aren't used.

I buy Kavili crackers- I like the garlic flavored. In my grocery store they are in the bread aisle. Only 10 carbs for 3 good size crackers. I eat them with tuna. Now that I am thinking about it, they would probably be good with homus too. Keep in mind 100% whole wheat crackers (like triscuits) and bread are a better choice than those made with white flour- more Fiber wich keeps your blood sugar from spiking and keeps you full longer. Good luck!

Hi,

Thank you for your comments because I have fallen off the food wagon for a long time and want to return. My biggest fear is giving up the carbs. I am pleased to hear that the desire goes away when you stop eating the stuff that creates the cycle.
