[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 194195, member: 31282"] Oatcakes used to be a staple up here in the Dales, too, 'cos up until the 20th century when hardier varieties of wheat were developed, we could only grow oats, rye and barley. Ours were made in a similar way to the Staffordshire ones (which are a bit like wraps; can't say I like them much) but I think the Dales ones were baked until dry. They used to lay them out on racks like those clothes airers which pull up to the ceiling over the fire. I'll see if I can find a recipe. I use scottish oatcakes (mostly Nairns) as a snack, just one or two at a time with butter or cheese. They have about 5 carbs per biscuit and don't do much to my bg levels. I've also found I can eat Tesco wholemeal multigrain, just a couple of slices occasionally, without affecting my bg, though obviously not on Atkins Induction. You might find that you can eat this type of bread occasionally, once your levels are down and well-controlled. The problem is, whether you can resist it once it's there! I keep mine in the freezer and take out a couple of slices at the time. I too love bread, in all its varieties. But I've found that now, I really don't crave it any more. As wiflib says, it's the craving that's the problem - 'cos if you give in to it, you'll eat the whole loaf :shock: And then beat yourself up over it :lol: just like I do :oops: Viv 8) PS where in Yorkshire? I'm Leeds, originally. [/QUOTE]
