I stopped eating white flour four years ago. For quite some time I had been adjusting my diet and exercising. I didn't lose much weight by cutting calories alone but when I stopped eating anything with white flour I lost 30 pounds in about 4 months and have kept it off. I just imagine that bread, cakes, crackers, bagels, etc are basically comprised of pure sugar. Our body cannot differentiate carbs that come from candy versus those that come from white flour, as white flour is very quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and increases insulin production just like white flour. Really, when we eat bread products we are essentially eating bowls of pure sugar and when i imagine flour = sugar I have no problem not desiring it.

When I want a sweet I opt for dark chocolate or something that I will really appreciate for it's quality.
