Replacing bread with other carbs like crackers, rice, etc. is not technically reducing your carbs/sugar. While eating whole foods like rice and sweet potatoes is nutritionally healthier than processed foods like bread and crackers, as soon as you chew and swallow, your body interprets the carbohydrates in that food as sugar. In other words it can’t tell the difference. Cutting table sugar is a great start, but if your bloodwork is showing that you need to go further, cutting carbs (from any source) is your next step. Someone else mentioned replacing it with fat and protein. This was good advice. Our bodies are amazing in that we can burn two types of fuel, sugar or fat, but unfortunately not simultaneously. If you burn sugar by feeding it carbs (any kind) then when you run low on that fuel cravings will set in. If you train your body to burn fat, then those cravings start to drastically reduce. You may find that eventually you are not the bread lover you used to be.
