Cant cut out carbs

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...

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.

maybe don't cut it out just reduce. so if now you have 6, go to 5 for 3 days, then 3, down to 1 or 2. and increase veg and protein and water so you're not hungry.

I think you mean to say that you WANT the carbs/bread because you certainly don't NEED them

correct. I need it cos I feel good and satiated etc. I want it and it could be healthy maybe with einkorn...

I know there are other healthy carbs out there but I want this.

Have you tried cutting out carbs all together.
I know you didn’t ask that.
What’s happening when you eat carbs is that you are stimulating insulin.
Insulin is the fat storage hormone and also makes you want to eat more
The tricky part is on Shabbos for hamotzi

I started eating Royo artisan bread. It’s pas Yisroel. Very expensive but worth it for me because it’s so low in carbs and I too love bread.

You enjoy the feeling of satiety that the bread gives you, but you also notice that eating it makes you want a large portion of it and then you gain weight. You need to decide what is more important to you. We often need to do whats hard in the short term to gain what we really want.

OP, you might want to edit the title of your post to specify what you are looking for so you will get more targeted answers.

No. I don’t think I would ever invest energy into making this type of bread. When I tried it, it was someone else’s recipe. They were very proud. I was like- eh.. not my thing.
Start a new thread looking for einkorn recipe. That’s not what this thread title is about at all.

If you're going to eat bread anyway, try to get the whole wheat healthier kind. They are more filling so even if same amount of calories you body doesn't process the same way as refined flour bread.
