Haha Andy yes I can be low carb guru when it comes to cakes but I liked roast potato from time to time. No more now Im afraid :(

A lot higher carb than Livlife though

The comparable loaf of Burgen (400g loaf) has 9g of carbs a slice compared to the Livelife bread which has just under 4g, the main ingredient for Burgen bread is Wheat Flour as where on the Livelife bread it is listed second on the ingredients, still if your avoiding wheat products or believe the 'Wheat Belly' hype both breads would not be suitable.

Livelife Bread
Ingredients: Water, wholemeal wheat flour, wheat gluten, mixed seeds 10% (brown linseed, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds), wheat protein, kibbled soya, soya flour, wheat fibre, sunflower oil, bran, salt, yeast, malt flour, preservative calcium propionate (added to inhibit mould growth), wheat dextrose, emulsifier mono-and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono-and diglycerides of fatty acids, wheat flour, vegetable oil (palm oil*, rapeseed oil), flour treatment agent ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

Burgen and Livelife bread aside, there was a food programme on C4 a month or two back examining how breads such as Slimcea and Weight watchers had lower calories than standard bread, the result was the slices were much smaller but the ingredients were just the same, so in theory you could buy a standard loaf and half the slices and still get the same result :lol: Best of all they charge a lot more for the calorie reduced bread but they come in smaller loaves :o
 
ok so on the 4th visit i finally got it, i was walking through the car park excited with my purchase but slightly nervous i would get mugged by a jealous diabetic, got home to find the missus has chicken stirfry cooking, i cant have bread with that :( i wanted toast for dinner, anyway i have something to look forward to i suppose, my anticipation is building lol
