has anyone tried the above recipe?..ive tried it twice and is easy and very nice but i think it spikes my sugars a bit... probally ate too much.. seems like about 5-600 calories a slice and i cant work out carb content..

Just put all the ingredients through my calculator using the Waitrose website for nutritional info and got this

Divide totals by the number of slices and voila.. enjoy.. quite nice macros.

This recipe for bread looks very interesting and I may give it a try. I'm not too sure how much olive oil to use as I've never seen a measurement featured in this way. 1dl olive oil. Does this mean a third of a litre of olive oil, which seems an awful lot? And how much did it send up your blood sugar levels?

Best wishes.

1dl of olive oil is the same as 100ml ... deci-litre is 1/10th of a litre

Thank you Bulkbiker! I shall have a go at making the bread today! Though I am apprehensive about it sending up my blood glucose levels.

Best wishes.

Pretty low carb.. 30g for the whole loaf..
I would probably end up eating the whole thing which wouldn’t be good but a thin slice is definitely worth testing for.

I've a feeling I've made this - but definitely something very similar a few years back, which I don't recall seeing any worrysome rise from. It's a recipe where you can vary the ingredients or their proportions. and it still works OK.

Carb content should be easy to calculate as all the nuts and seeds come in 100g portions (oil and eggs will be carb free). Add all the carbs together then as @bulkbiker said, divide by number of slices. I use my Windows calculator if I need to work things out.

I've just found my recipe (actually called paleo bread):
100g Milled Flaxseed
100g Mixed Seeds (eg a mix of any of the following : pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, linseed, poppy seeds etc)
100g Chia seeds
200g Ground Almonds
1 Cup Water
¼ Cup Melted Coconut Oil
4 Eggs, Large and beaten
1 Tsp Sea Salt

Thank you Robbity. Two recipes now to choose from. I've just called in ASDA and purchased all the ingredients, so I'm about to begin. Wish me luck because I've been known to have a few failures!

Wow, only 30 grams. I'm a bit like you, probably have one slice then another, and then find I've eaten the lot. But, hey, it's worth a try.

If you look at post number 2 on the thread there is a breakdown of how I calculated it.

Eating the whole loaf at over 4000 Cals might be excessive.

Just a bit!

looking at the breakdown so kindly posted by @bulkbiker it probably wasnt the bread that left me with elevated levels ..ive been running higher f.b.s figures for a while which i think is the dreaded dawn phenonemon..i check pre evening meal at about fiveish and normally average 5.2 (5.1 tonight) yesterdays was 6.9 after three hours and 6.9 after five hours..and 6.8 for todays f..b.s..
iate two slices of the bread one with butter other with almond butter , some leftover sprouts,broccolli,cauliflower and a small roast potato made into a bubble and squeak with a tin of tomatoes and cheese..must have been something there i guess..
oilwise i used coconut oil and less salt ..i also forgot to add some dill seeds and caraway seeds which i thought would been nice...next time.......

i guess the rest of my evening food tallied up to nearly 60 to a 100 grams ...
