In fact this morning I had a left over chicken breast and a piece of cheese and blue cheese dressing instead a couple of romaine hearts for breakfast after my workout. Tasted great!

I like to use iceberg lettuce because it's firmer. I know it doesn't have as many nutrients as the greener romaine but it reminds of some lettuce wraps I've had in a restaurant. I fill them with shredded chicken chili that I made myself (no preservatives, no added sodium, no sugar). Besides that, white flour is addictive for many people. It keeps you coming back for more, and more, and more.... ;) The lettuce is a great suggestion. I like to use iceberg lettuce because it's firmer.

A Dutch breakfast is bread with cheese, meats, peanut butter or even chocholate. I see parents giving their child bread as a meal, just a hunk of bread to munch on. Lunch is the exact same meal. Bread with stuff on it. The only meal that isn't bread based is supper. I LOVE your suggestion of using romaine lettuce as "bread" for sandwiches that dont really need bread. After all it's the inside that counts isn't it? Limiting bread while you live in the Netherlands is darn near impossible. A Dutch breakfast is bread with cheese, meats, peanut butter or even chocholate. I see parents giving their child bread as a meal, just a hunk of bread to munch on. Lunch is the exact same meal.

It just doesn't really fit within my meal plan, and I find that I never really want it badly enough to justify the amount of calories it uses up. I had never really though about it in these terms before, but it is something of a unnecessary appendage to food rather than actually something you're eating because you want the bread. Great post, it has given me a lot to think about... For me, I haven't made any conscious decision to give up bread, but I find that I'm eating a lot less of it.

I also took advantage of "light" English Muffins and "light" tortilla wraps. Now that I'm not in losing mode anymore I go for a whole grain/multi-grain variety whenever I have bread and stay as far away from the enriched stuff as possible.

I think even if you don't continue to see a dramatic fall on the scales (I expect that to stop once our bodies get used to no bread) in the next week, taking up bread again would be a mistake because we obviously dont need it and it seems to me to be such a negative food.
