Lidl Low GI Rolls

Please can I ask what is the carbs for these rolls, and do they make you feel bloated like normal bread, I am having problems getting the psillium husk powder so can't make my own bread

The Low GI rolls (round) are 45% carb, the High Protein rolls (triangular) 9.8% carb.

Anybody here living in Northern Ireland? If yes, does Lidl stock these rolls?

Contacted Lidl and they confirmed that they do not stock them in NI and have no immediate plans to do so.
If you live in NI or visit then you could use the contact form to ask for them. Enough demand might encourage them.

I am feeling a little lost because I usually eat at least one per day and it diverts any bread cravings.

Probably need to look for recipes to make my own!

Edit: just fired off a query to Lidl in Eire in case they stock the rolls. I will report back.

The problem with making your own bread is that there isn't a handy stockroom for you to source the speciality ingredients, just the local shops, and they are unlikely to even think about stocking them.
I used to work for Allied Lyons, the tea people, and did storage testing on the dry goods they manufactured, and there are so many extracts which are available to industry to make things bake better or faster than those made from standard ingredients.

You just need to be careful. All the information is added by other users, some from other countries where food labelling and measurement units are different, not to mention food production. Some aren't interested in carbs - just calories, and many of the vitamins and minerals are omitted or just wrong. I used it myself initially but always double checked and then added the items to the main data list as I calculated them. It is a good tool, but care is needed.
 
This may be the same misunderstanding which has occurred before in this thread. Lidl High Protein rolls (triangular) are low carb 9.8%, Lidl Low GI rolls (round) are not low carb 45%

but they are Low GI, so they should have little to no impact on blood glucose levels compared to none Low GI bread.

I think that is a myth. Low GI might smooth out peaks a bit but it seems, at least in my experience, that carbs are carbs.

I've had 3 today already, and currently at 4.5mmol/l 2h:35m after eating the last one. if anyone gets higher readings, that should say to me your insulin resistance must be very high, and would recommend working to lower it asap.

Low GI bread has the same amount of carbs as high GI bread, therefore the same amount of glucose gets released. With low GI it just takes longer. I find if low GI bread sends me from say 5 to 6 at 2 hours, instead of coming back to 5 fairly soon, I stay at 6 for several hours. (Figures are just plucked from the air) Low GI has never worked for me, and I no longer have a great deal of IR. We all react differently.

If you no longer have insulin resistance you would not be type 2, as you would be able to eat normal amounts of carbohydrates, and any kind without the your blood ever going out of range. We all have different levels of insulin resistance, the idea is to try and lower it, via HIIT exercise and resistance training, not just control it.

I would say in the beginning(seems like years now) I would get 11s on wholemeal(well, most thing with carbs), even LCHF did not help reserve anything but just controlled it, because as soon as I would go out to eat anything normal my blood glucose would go too high again. I later realised fat can block up the pancreas preventing normal insulin response along with excess fat around the body making you more insulin resistant. That started the big rapid weight loss with HIIT workouts and resistance training, and it worked. Not overnight, more like months, but it did work, as others have done here too.

We are all at different stages in our quest to reverse diabetes.

I don't wish to derail this thread about Lidl rolls, but must ask if you were speaking generally to everyone, or just to me? You are flogging a dead horse if it was just to me. ;) My BMI is 21 and I am an OAP with absolutely no desire to spend time attempting push ups or squats or anything else. My worn out knee cartilage would complain too much. I walk my dog and do my housework and from time to time, my gardening. My BS levels are normal, even after fish and chips. I am content.

I have tried these rolls making fried egg roll in the morning, they do spike your blood sugar level, but now after 15 min of eating I take a walk for 10 min and it does not produce the spike

Went to Lidl today to get my supply of their High Protein Rolls and noticed they had Low GI Rolls which I haven't seen before. Had one for lunch and unfortunately my BS was too high 2 hours later, pity as it was very tasty and a nice change from the High Protein ones - might try half a roll next time. I can't find any mention of them on the Lidl website let alone the carb content. Anybody tried them or have any information?
