I like bread! I want to say that again—I like bread!! I like the smell of a fresh loaf as I walk into the entrance of the nearest Wal-Mart or HEB grocery store. I like it even better when I have a nice schmeer of butter on it. Okay, so I like that warm bread plain—just tear off a hunk on the way home from the store and shove it into my mouth. Well, now that we agree about our bread craving, let’s find a way to still enjoy bread and not feel deprived. Here’s one of the ways that I’ve found this week to help with this:
There are products called slim breads. It seems they are everywhere and in every store—but they are pricey. I bought one package to try. My first brand is Nature’s Own brand.
This is the first slim bread. I like it! Hmm, maybe there is hope for me to “have my cake and eat it too”. My first sandwich was made with deli turkey, tomato, lots of lettuce and mustard. There is hope. I will survive.
Nature's Own Bread
Today I stopped by the Mrs. Baird’s bread store with my friend Juls. They have other varieties of whole grain breads (the good ones), plus Thomas’ Bakeries makes a new Bagel Thin. One of the workers there said his wife counts carbs and this is an approved and really good tasting alternative. He said “try it”, so I brought home 2 packages. (2 different varieties) They are now in the freezer until next week. The other bread was my Oroweat brand. Each company has a variety of flavors such as wheat, whole grain, honey wheat and multi-grain.
Because of my love of bread, I had to find a way to enjoy it and still stay on track for my weight loss program. You’ll find recipes on this site. Click the link for more information, plus the nutritional guides.

As I was looking at the bread nutrition guides, I realized that Bimbo Bakeries is the parent company for a lot of the bread brands that we daily see, buy and consume. Check it out and find the bread that you will love to lunch on! Here’s the link for their bread site: Bimbo Bakeries
