I gave up on low carb because I just could not get used to it and I really miss my bread. Any ideas for a quick simple sandwich.

Do you mean that you want to have bread on a low carb diet? You could try one of the high protein breads that are lower in carbs than your typical white sliced bread. Or there are recipes for very low carb bread alternatives on-line.
Or do you mean that you have given up completely on the low carb? If so, you are free to eat whatever you like but this may not suit your blood glucose levels or your waistline.

I am afraid bread is addictive...
Carbs in general are addictive. Same goes for noodles, rice and pastries...I can't stop once I start...so I find it easier not to get started. Just eat my roast pork belly, nuts, cheese, dark chocolates...

Hi Kokhongw, I know but I thought the poster was saying he was going to have bread anyway so was looking for advice on what sort. I'm lucky because I can have one slice every so often so if the poster can do that, maybe he can have his odd slice of bread which might stop him giving up
low carb altogether.

@Bridie9408 I believe - from previous posts - that you are T1? So presumably you could cheat a little and just bolus for the carbs in your sandwich. Unless of course you're worried about setting off carby cravings - in which case you could try Livlife or Carbzone to name a couple of low carb breads.

@Tipetoo . Thanks so much for posting that as we live in Tasmania and i have yet to find a LC Bread. So i goggled it and voila. I might give it a go. Thanks again. 5 carbs a 1 slice surely wouldn't hurt. However i will do a blood check after it. Haven't had bread for 7 months now.We get lower carb Herman Brot bread here.

Two slices are 5.4 grams. I get mine from the Go Vita health food stores, but Herman Brot do mail orders from Southport Qld.
Here's a pix when I did a test when I first stared eating it, you work from the bottom up to the top.

If you still want bread try Tesco’s high protein loaf - it freezes well and I find that 1 slice, loaded with filling, is sufficient. Makes nice toast too!
I love the Livelife bread with 3.8g carbs per slice. They are small slices. It has s similar taste to M&S sandwiches. All my family eat it now. In Waitrose and I’m sure other supermarkets. It also freezes well and lasts s long time.

The bread tastes great after nearly two years with out eating any, it has a fair few nuts and bolts in the mix though.

@Bridie9408 - Eat 2 slices of white bread for breakfast with Acarbose 50mg tablets.

Look on amazon they do low carb wraps 4carbs a wrap instead of 35 u can have stuff on them instead of bread aswell i do bacon and egg wraps type in carbzone they do everything low carb
Or alternatively just eat what you would have put between the bread without the bread and avoid the medication?

Breakfast sandwich is probably my favorite food item in the world. So far I have tried "cloud bread", and english muffins made primarily from almond meal as substitutes. The english muffin is pretty high calorie but is an excellent substitute. It can be made in minutes in the microwave. Cloud bread works, has a better nutritional profile for weight maintenance, but it's a bit insubstantial as a sandwich bread. It also needs to be made ahead of time as it's an oven-bake. I plan to experiment with cauliflower based substitutes, but I need a food processor, which I dont have right now.
