• We switched to Pepperidge Farm thin-sliced bread, for half the calories of a regular slice.
• We couldn’t give up our beloved bagels, so we switched to bagel chips—fresh bagels cut into wafer-thin slices by the seller. We keep them in the freezer and thaw or toast our daily allocation.
• If your local bagel store or deli counter doesn’t sell bagel chips, tell them to get with the [diet] program!

Both options give you all of the flavor and satisfaction of the bread with a big savings of calories and carbs.
