I do eat wholemeal.

That's very good. Also look at the ingredients. Bread only needs flour, water and salt. The less ingredients the better and less harm to your metabolism.

I honestly don't think switching to einkorn will make a difference with weight, not sure why you are so convinced that this is the answer.

What I found helped cut out bread was replacing it with a ton of protein and fat. So instead of 2 eggs cooked in some oil spray and 6 slices of bread, I do 4 eggs cooked in a generous amount of coconut oil, plus avocado and olives. No way you can be hungry after a meal like that, and blood sugar stays stable.

You will not lose weight by eating this. People who are into health claim it’s easier to digest.

I need my carbs including my bread. I cant cut it out of my diet but I am gaining weight
and it increases my appetite. I can eat 6 ww breads for breakfast.

if I switch to einkorn would it help for weight loss as its an unhybridised wheat and satiates quicker...

It’s hard in the beginning but I guarantee you if you stick with it it’ll be a blessing for you!
You’re right that carbs increase hunger and cravings, so does sugar.
Once you cut out those items, you will find your hunger and cravings gone, and sticking to a healthy eating plan will be so much easier! I lost over 20 lbs doing that and it was really easy after I got past the initial phase.

Here’s what worked for me.
Switch to healthier carbs - even pasta has a high protein and high fiber version.
Instead of eating a pastry, eat oatmeal.
Try to have a small piece of challah for one shabbos meal and then eat some matzah.

Here’s the thing that worked wonders for me.
I stopped eating at 6pm every night. It’s like it became a fast day and I’m forbidden to eat. Only water or tea without sugar.
I don’t eat anything in the morning until 10am aside for coffee with stevia.
If you stop eating at 7 the night before, don’t eat till 11am.
Only water.
You will see the pounds coming off.

Even whole wheat and healthy carbs cause hunger and cravings though.
