Such a thing as low carb bread or snack bars?

[Resurgam]

I was in lidl supermarket just now and almost bought the low GI bread, but glad now that I did not - it is 36 percent carbs. The high protein rolls are actually within my normal range - 8.5 percent carbs - but they did not have any.

I'm going to try them, not had chance yet but I will when I do

I may be clutching at straws but are there such things as low carb bread or bars/breakfast bars that are commercially available? Or are they a myth like the tooth fairy lol? I've obviously heard of Atkins but don't want to go and buy anything only to find out that I shouldn't actually be eating them. Any suggestions gratefully accepted, thanks.

I've tried many different breads which are supposedly 'healthy' for diabetics and nearly all either taste like cardboard or are ridiculously expensive. There's only one that I can recommend wholeheartedly and that is Burgen.

Burgen has 25g of carbs per 100g or 11g per slice. It lasts for ages so no waste due to it going mouldy. It tastes great, especially toasted. It costs £1.30 for an 800g loaf at Tesco.

I used to eat Burgen all the time before but 11g is high when trying to stay under 20g for a full day, it's worth it for a wee treat now and then x

I really missed bread. I've tried making all the homemade 'alternative' recipes and didn't like any of them so now I just buy LivLife Seriously Seeded (3.8g carbs per slice, although it has to be said the slices are quite small) which I usually have toasted from frozen, and Atkins bread mix (2.3g per slice), also quite small but very tasty and ridiculously easy to make (best if you make sure the yeast is thoroughly mixed into the dry mixture before adding the water) and freezes well. The downside is that it's relatively expensive £3.99 a time (although Ocado have it on offer at £2.99 this week), but to me it's worth it to have a bread I really like. Atkins also do a crispbread that has 1.8g per slice, good as a snack with any number of toppings or as a 'biscuit' with cheese.

I was able to get some Lidl protein bread rolls before Christmas, but will have to limit my purchases - I ate both of them as soon as they were soft enough to bite through after removal from the freezer - no self control when faced with food.
They are quite good after six weeks without bread.

You could try these @AvaK : http://www.natural-low-carb-store.co.uk/collections/snacks - A variety of bars, breakfast and otherwise. I'm a fan of the Chocolate and Macadamia ones.

Thanks for this tim2000, I found that very helpful and just what I wanted!

Nature valley protein bars (choc or salted caramel) are pretty low carb and my go-to snack to keep in my handbag.

I've had a couple and got a few left in the freezer, a little diff to normal rolls but still nice

I'd need to travel quite a wee bit to get it, but that's something I'll do if I get to the stage of really craving bread

TESCO have brought in a high protein loaf which is really nice and lasts ages. 10g carbs per slice and 88 calories.

At 15g carbs per slice, it's hardly different from normal bread, even with the extra protein.
