Gotta lose weight, bread must go. [View all]

80lbs gotta go due ti diabetic reasons.Been about a week now since i gave up the bread and i think i'm having withdrawal symptoms from the lack of bread or more precisely the lack of sandwiches, this bread is addicting, for those who have given up bread or i guess going gluten free would be more accurate? what do you replace the bread with when you just got to have a snack?.

Thanks
