Substitute for bread

[Juicetin]

Livlife is good, just over 3g carbs per small slice. I prefer it to HiLo

I go for gluten free seeded wraps, you can spread it with yogurt, hummus (home made is best, no nasties) a sprinkle of chilli flakes (boosts your metabolism) and shove salad and feta (or other cheese) in it. I love bread but .........

Another vote for Livlife, it tastes like normal granary/seeded bread. The only thing is I don't like it toasted. I buy it from Waitrose.

Haven't found any yet but will try it.

If the Warburton's ones are typical then at 29g per wrap they are not exactly low carb.

Fathead pizza crust made as a rectangle then cut into smaller squares. Tough enough to make a sandwich out of and very low carb. Also very tasty.

I love bread but now being T2 I need to cut it out, what do others eat instead? Would crackers like rivetta be okay?

Whole wheat bread is good. Maida bread is not good...

 

[joshandjess]

Well today I had small amount of cheese with butter and I'm still full, so thanks for that recommendation

 

[Kristin251]

Ah....the beauty of fat.
Avocado does the same thing for me.

Hi @JossandJess

If you do want to continue eating bread, I second LivLife (also available from Morrisons if you can't get to Waitrose). I used my Libre to compare a few breads on another thread if you want to see the details: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/thr...nd-flour-act-as-a-low-carb-food.119122/page-2

Sainsbury's HiLo was quite good. (I haven't been able to obtain Lidl bread yet.)

Ps. I'm not T2 and don't avoid carbs.

 

[Jay-Marc]

Ocado also sell HiLo and LivLife. Personally I prefer the former as the latter seems to me to taste of cardboard. Each to their own of course.

As far as I am concerned there is no substitute for real bread so a couple of times a week I have a two small slices of wholemeal toasted bread...I hate the seedy stuff that some here have....Another member said Warburton I think do a high protein loaf that she has and she said some other supermarkets do an own brand one. Yes Ryvita crackers are ok and some have oat crackers to

I think people make it their self

 

[chalup]

@Squeekyboy as far as I know you can't buy it. Just throw all the ingredients in a food processor, mix, flatten on parchment paper, bake, and eat. There are recipes all over the internet.

fathead pizza
6oz of grated edam or mozzarella - mild cheese
3 oz of almond flour
2 tbsp cream cheese
mix together in a warm bowl
Add an egg and any flavouring you like.
Roll out quite thin between two layers of parchment paper
place on a baking tray and remove the top layer of paper, then make holes all over as for shortbread
bake for 12-15 minutes at 220 degrees C until lightly browned and as crisp as you like.
Turn the disc over, if soft, replace in the oven for a couple of minutes.
Add toppings if for a pizza - all meats should be cooked already, place in oven for 5 minutes to heat up/melt cheese
