I've come to finally realize that the "white stuff" is just horrible. I went to my mom's to celebrate her birthday with her and we picked up Subway for supper. I got a 6 inch chicken breast sub with lots of veggies and low fat mayo. I had a few baked chips and then a piece of angelfood cake with strawberries. All I feel now is STARVING and BLOATED!! UGH!!! It has to the be the white stuff, the bread and the cake. I need to cut that back a lot from my diet. I am now depressed because I feel bloated and fat so all I want to do is eat!!! I'm completely craving anything right now and I'm not hungry.

I'm headed off to bed so I don't eat anymore. x(

I thought this was another snow post!!! I can't do the white bread, either. Yucko!! makes me feel craptastic all day. Baked chip taste like salty cardboard to me. Not worth it. Angelfood cake, though? Bring it on!!! It's mostly egg whites - protein - its good for me :9

I don't eat the white stuff either for the same reasons. Have you tried Ezekeal bread? Of course you can't get it at Subway but if you like bread (like I do) and don't want to cut it completely out of your diet you might try Ezekeal. It's filling and yummy. They even have Ezekeal muffins, like english muffins. And you can get the cinnamon raisen bread or muffins. YUMMY!! Okay, now maybe I should go to bed because I'm hungry too!

Good luck!

Hi-

I love the "white stuff" too.. And once, I start eating it, I can't stop!

Here's some suggestions on healthier alternatives that I like and seem to satisfy that craving:

Santa Fe Tortilla Company Whole Grain Tortillas.. 100 cal/tortilla, 7 gms fiber 8 gms protein. You can buy them in 20 packs at Sam's Clubs.

Thomas Whole Grain Lite English Muffins.. 5gms protein/8 gms fiber 100 calories/muffin. You can also get these at Sam's as well as most retail venues.

Take care, Lynn M.

My absolute favorite cake is angel food ... it may have egg protein but it also has tons of SUGAR along w/ the white cake four. There's usally no fat so it quickly gets your blood sugar level up, which of course will also send it plunging downward quickly, creating cravings. Angel food cake creates tremoundous cravings for me, more so than white bread by itself (probably because of the added sugar). I can have an angel food hangover from it ... it's devilish! So I can "feel ya" on this one! Deb
 
RE: No more

Is the angel food cake responsible for creating the cravings or our lack of will power (because <gasp> we tend to crave things we like the taste of)? I think the more stigmatized a food becomes the more we obsess over it.

Lynn ~ You & I must shop the same aisles at Sam's club- those tortillas & light MG EM are my favorites!! I also buy the 3 packs of Laughing cow light cheese & tub of Sabra's Roasted red pepper hummus, it all makes a delicious wrap sandwich! :)
 
RE: No more

Hi Jess-

That is funny!!! I buy the Laughing Cow Light cheese too!!! I have not tried the Sabra's hummus, but I'll have to get some next time I am there.

Since you are a Sam's shopper, here's another little gem that I love there... the Jarlsberg Lite Swiss Cheese... 50 cal and 7 gms protein /slice... its yummy wrapped in those tortillas w/ a bunch of fresh veggies when you need an alternative to the Laughing Cow and Hummus.

Thanks for the post! Take care, Lynn M.

Ooh, you'll be addicted, that stuff is YUMMY! Thanks for the tip, I'll have to look for that cheese too! I get a lot of fresh fruits & veggies there too, can't beat how cheap the apples & bananas are there!!
