Substitute for bread

I go for gluten free seeded wraps, you can spread it with yogurt, hummus (home made is best, no nasties) a sprinkle of chilli flakes (boosts your metabolism) and shove salad and feta (or other cheese) in it. I love bread but .........
 
Another vote for Livlife, it tastes like normal granary/seeded bread. The only thing is I don't like it toasted. I buy it from Waitrose.

If the Warburton's ones are typical then at 29g per wrap they are not exactly low carb.
 
Fathead pizza crust made as a rectangle then cut into smaller squares. Tough enough to make a sandwich out of and very low carb. Also very tasty.
 
Flax seed bread
2 tablespoons almond flour
1 tablespoon of flaxseed
1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil
One egg
Half a teaspoon of baking powder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of garlic powder

(C5/f58/p17 )

Method:
Mix all ingredients together well
Put in the microwave dish
90 seconds microwave
Slice in 2
Put slice of yellow cheese, small slice of tomato and olives in or chorizo and cheese and then 1 minute in the cheese toaster.

Yummy!

Hi @JossandJess

If you do want to continue eating bread, I second LivLife (also available from Morrisons if you can't get to Waitrose). I used my Libre to compare a few breads on another thread if you want to see the details: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/thr...nd-flour-act-as-a-low-carb-food.119122/page-2

Sainsbury's HiLo was quite good. (I haven't been able to obtain Lidl bread yet.)

Ps. I'm not T2 and don't avoid carbs.
 
Ocado also sell HiLo and LivLife. Personally I prefer the former as the latter seems to me to taste of cardboard. Each to their own of course.

I love bread but now being T2 I need to cut it out, what do others eat instead? Would crackers like rivetta be okay?

As far as I am concerned there is no substitute for real bread so a couple of times a week I have a two small slices of wholemeal toasted bread...I hate the seedy stuff that some here have....Another member said Warburton I think do a high protein loaf that she has and she said some other supermarkets do an own brand one. Yes Ryvita crackers are ok and some have oat crackers to
 
@Squeekyboy as far as I know you can't buy it. Just throw all the ingredients in a food processor, mix, flatten on parchment paper, bake, and eat. There are recipes all over the internet.
 
fathead pizza
6oz of grated edam or mozzarella - mild cheese
3 oz of almond flour
2 tbsp cream cheese
mix together in a warm bowl
Add an egg and any flavouring you like.
Roll out quite thin between two layers of parchment paper
place on a baking tray and remove the top layer of paper, then make holes all over as for shortbread
bake for 12-15 minutes at 220 degrees C until lightly browned and as crisp as you like.
Turn the disc over, if soft, replace in the oven for a couple of minutes.
Add toppings if for a pizza - all meats should be cooked already, place in oven for 5 minutes to heat up/melt cheese
