So here I am #day 2 of being diagnosed trying to work out which bread or bread look alike I should buy ./ bake - i love making my own bread so am open to any alternatives that will help me - I would be grateful if anyone has any recipes to share thanks Helen :)
 
Hello Helen. I am looking forward to your answers as this intrigues me too. :)
 
I've given up bread as good as 'cept for fried.
I can't answer your question but my missus thinks muesli bread will be good but I haven't googled it yet.
 
I'm tempted to have a go at sour dough, I tried spelt flour bread it ended up rock hard lol. I bought some sour dough from Sainsbury to try, got my hubby to slice it and it was very nice. And I split it into bags and froze it. Because some mornings I just can't face cooking bacon at 6am. I've had a few disasters with the ground almond breads but there's quite a few listed on low carb thread to have a go at.

Hello! I'm very new here (this is my first post). My husband was recently diagnosed type 2 and advised to reduce his carbs. As he is very fond of bread I began to research low carb bread alternatives. This one is prey easy and he finds it very acceptable: http://www.lowcarbsosimple.com/simple-and-fluffy-glutenfree-lowcarb-bread/
Hope this helps, and sorry if it's already been posted elsewhere on the site. I've only just begun to look around the forums.
 
This bread looks nice but I don't understand why it uses Whey Protein powder as flour replacement as that is normally taken as a drink by body builders weight lifters etc . I have asked before why it is used in cooking...a lot of recipes have it... but no one seems to know why when there are other flour subsitutes but if the recipe asks for it they just use it I even asked in health food stores where they sell it and they said they had never heard of it being used as flour replacement in cooking They did warn though that to much whey protein without doing a lot of excercise but taken with normal food intake could be bad for the liver and even kidneys thats why I have always been wary of using it

Hello AnnieC! I don't know why the protein powder is used instead of flour, except that it is so low carb. If I find out more I'll let you know. I may experiment with the recipe to see if it works without. I think the "bread" is "risen" through the beaten eggs, so maybe it is just to add bulk? I have coconut and almond flours, so I may see what difference they make. Also, I am certainly not suggesting that this "loaf" be eaten every time my husband wants a slice of bread, just that if he's had enough carbs and still wants a slice with something, he can use this instead.
This is all very new to us both ....
ETA: I've also just started my first attempt at sourdough ...
 
I cheated Pam, bought another from Sainsburys, hubby managed to slice it thinner as well got about 13 slices out of it.
