The New Bread Nirvanha!!

Another bread that doesn't seem to spike me is Kingsmill Sliced Wholemeal - but I only eat it very very occasionally, if I have a toasted sandwich in my friends' tea shop. A large slice has 16.6g carb, so a sandwich has 33.2g, which is over my usual daily intake. :oops: That's why they are a rare treat.

It is always a ham & cheese toastie with a side salad and additional mayo, and it is most likely the accompanying fat that slows down my BG response.

If I have one a month it's a lot. Usually they do me a special "Atkins Salad" of our own devising, with a slice of ham, grated cheese, hardboiled egg, the usual salad stuff - not forgetting the mayo! Delicious! :D

Their own home-made wholemeal bread, served with soup or my favourite poached eggs, doesn't spike me either, but the slices are very small.

I haven't tried poached eggs with mayo yet. Hmmm! :wink:

They were selling small loafs of freshly made wholemeal spelt bread covered in seeds at my local market yesterday. Looked really nice - don't know if spelt is supposed to be better? Anyone know?
 
Is this what you mean?

Bought a loaf last week and took two slices out from the freezer for my dinner today, have to say's it's very nice Grazer and a good replacement for Burgen for those that don't like it :thumbup:
 
It's all true! I finally bought some of Grazer's recommended bread and it is indeed both delicious and relatively low carb. That's nirvana, however you want to spell it - arise, Sir Grazer. Unfortunately I am going to have to freeze most of the loaf because my sugars have entered the Twilight Zone again, so I am going to drop bread from my diet for a while to try to persuade them to be more reasonable.
 
I'd also recommend M&S 'no wheat gluten free brown seeded loaf' = 21.7g carb per 100g and very passable as a no wheat bread (based on spelt and seeds).
