Just a little snippet from an article. I just read.
There are few foods more comforting and enjoyable than bread...
Whether it is a warm piece of focaccia dipped in olive oil... a sandwich on a chewy baguette... a flaky croissant... or even the simplest slice of toast with butter...
Just thinking about these foods makes your mouth water!
And the blissful “intoxication” you experience when you eat bread is real.
In fact, you might say bread is the original food addiction.
Traditional bread produces compounds called gluteomorphins. And as their name implies, these compounds engage opioid receptors in your brain – the same receptors triggered by drugs like morphine and heroin.
Very similar compounds, called casomorphins, are found in cheese.
That would certainly explain the euphoric rush of pleasure you feel, when biting into a crusty slice of pizza with bubbly, melted cheese!
And just to make sure you keep coming back for more – the blood-sugar spike you get from high-carb bread elevates dopamine – the “craving neurochemical” from which the word “dope” originates.
So it is no stretch of logic to say that...
Bread is a Drug that Causes a Repetitive Cycle of Cravings – for More Bread!
Our love affair with comforting (and addictive) bread is as old as recorded history...

I do love bread. Sometimes I'm able to resist it, sometimes not. It's easier when it's not in the house.

This Is a delicious keto seed biscuit recipe. Low calorie and only a couple of carbs.
1 cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup psyllium husk, 1/4 cup sesame seed, poppy seed, hemp heart seed, and pepita seeds. One teaspoon Himalayan salt and one tablespoon of baking powder. Mix all the dry ingredients together. In a separate Bowl you will need 6 egg whites. Beat them with a mixer until fluffy and then add them to the dry ingredients and stir well. Heat one and a half cups of water until boiling. Poor that in the dry mixture and stir well. We place our dough In a 12 x 12 flat pan on parchment paper. Just push it out from the center to the edges. . We use a Pizza roller cutter and cut it into 16 squares. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. Yummy

Just smelling bread gets me wanting it. Might just get fatter by just inhaling the yeasty goodness! But, I'm strong most of the time. I walk right past the deli bread section without buying. Gotta keep my goals in mind.

The thing about bread for me anyway is it has to have butter on it. Dry bread is not addictive for me.
