I'm also concerned from a smoothie standpoint. I LOVE my banana + berry smoothies, and I have been dumping some Psyllium husk into them, because I heard that the fiber would help to counterbalance the sugar.
Is there any truth to this?

Here's the thing. I was able to cut out all soda about a year ago (I only drink distilled water now). How did I do it? I slowly watered my soda down over time, starting with 1 part water, 9 parts soda, then 2/8, then 3/7, etc... It took several months, but it did not require much effort (it just took time).
I have no doubt if I give up white bread all at once, I will quit the mcdougall diet in a week. Period. I'm just trying to find ways to mitigate the damage while I ween myself off white bread. I'm gonna try and mix some quinoa pasta in with my white pasta (just like I did with soda), and hopefully that will work. .
