Bread addiction.
Same. But worry not... bread is actually one of the most addictive foods in the world. So, you're not alone.
Bread's flavor, texture and high carbohydrate content makes it difficult to stop eating it once you've started. In fact, many people undergo a chemical process while eating bread that triggers them to eat more and more.
It's no wonder many diets advise us to stay away from bread, especially bread made from refined white flour.
When some people eat bread, their bodies release too much insulin, also known as the “hunger hormone.” Insulin stimulates the appetite, making it easy to overeat and making the person crave high-carb foods and an chain is made.
Also, bread is considered a popular "comfort food", which is associated with feelings of well-being. That's why so many people eat high-carb foods, like bread, when they are feeling lonely, stressed out, sad or bored.
But the good news is that there are some ways to help with this issue. According to Dr. Susanne Andrews, whole-grain bread doesn't seem to have the same addictive properties as ultra-refined white bread. So you can start from there and then decrease your intake little by little.
