1. Follow The 2 Rule.
Don't eat more than 2 ounces of bread at a time. A slice of sandwich bread weighs about 1 ounce, a small loaf about 2 ounces, a sandwich bun about 4 ounces, and a bagel 4-6 ounces. Yes, this means you should not eat more than one bagel or half a bun at a time.
2. Eat Bread When You Need It.
One option is to limit yourself to no more than 2 ounces at each meal. Or eat bread once a day at your favorite meal. For example, if you prefer to eat bran bread at lunch, don't eat bagels for breakfast. The bread supply will go to waste.
3. Remove Bread From The Diet.
Sometimes it's easier to avoid problem foods than to eat them in moderation. So, if you like to eat bread for dinner, but tend to overindulge, this dish is a good way to go bread-free. Done." The idea is not "I can't eat bread for dinner".
4. Switch To Whole Grains.
Only eat whole grain bread. It is richer in nutrients than white bread. It is also harder to get, so think before you resort to it.
Note that pumpernickel bagels and bran muffins are made with white flour, not whole wheat. The best way to choose a true whole grain product is to read the label. The first ingredient should say "100% whole wheat"; if it says "enriched", "unbleached" or "unbleached", it is a white flour product. Keep it on the shelf.
5. Refuse Restaurant Bread.
Can't let go of the bread basket when you eat out? Resist!
