Well bread breaks down as sugar so, as do many other processed foods we consume.

I went this route a few years ago and successfully lost 20lbs rather quickly, but I expanded bread to "flour-based". Basically, I cut out all bread and pasta. It was easier for me than trying to track how much sugar was in something.

Just to clarify the above, I was averaging two glasses of wine per day, and 2-3 cocktails per week. I replaced it all with water, coffee, and tea (no sugary drinks).

Yes. I made one and only one change to my diet in the last 2 years — I stopped drinking alcohol (75% wine and 25% cocktails).

I dropped 35 lbs as a result.

Sugar

(But I also don’t eat bread so that would not have moved the needle for me - I have a celiac child and don’t keep it in the house).

+1. Staying below 25g of added sugar might be tough for some people, but in my experience, staying between 20-40 has been a good target to drop pounds. Even eating a decent amount of bread, carbs and fruit (berries, oranges, etc), just monitoring the added sugar has worked pretty well.

Whole grain bread, especially rye or oat, and with nuts or seeds in it, is good for you and can help you feel full. A slice a day isn't going to ruin your diet.

Yes. I saw a 20lbs difference.

Just wine? How long did it take?

I was drinking too much so it was quick.

Don't listen to this "low carb" moron OP. They're stuck in 1997. Eat all the whole fruit you want, no matter how many carbs they have. The fiber and water is incredibly good for you. And fiber is "a carb."

Another low carb moron here. Laughing at this post.

List 20 pounds by cutting out most bread and candy/sweets- eat all the fruit I want and can have the occasional slice of whole grain bread. I allow myself a few squares of chocolate per day. Once you get used to it, it’s not hard.

Quick is not good overall. Slow and steady is better
