Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2006Toasting's effect on carbs????
Since the unfortunate demise of Atkins bread and bagels (which basically priced themselves out of the market), I've had to scrounge around for other types of LC bread to use for breakfast (with whipped cream cheese or sausage) or for a sandwich to take to lunch. Pepperidge Farm makes a "Carb Smart" bread which is good and is 5 grams of carb per slice. I was just wondering: does toasting the bread have any effect on the amount of carbs in it?

Skip the bread, use LC tortillas if you must.You can stuff a wrap with far more meat & cheese than you can stack a reasonable sandwich, anyways. I go for wraps mostly too, but I do get a ten carb sandwich from time to time.

No. It has to. Burn it to a crisp, and the digestible carbs must be lower. However, this misses the point, that a low carber should not be eating bread or toast. > > I was just wondering: does toasting the bread have any effect on the > > amount of carbs in it? > > No. I am glad to see this question. I have had myself lately. When I was a kid my Mom would always darkly toast any slice of bread she was going to eat. She was always trying to follow Weight Watchers. If in fact there are no carbs burned off, is fat or protein reduced, or does the calorie count too go unchanged? Jimmy > It has to.

I guess you can tell from my posts thus far I am hanging on to bread and beer. 280/273/180 Jimmy > Jimmy, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > :::: > :::: No. Well, good luck with losing weight to your goal on LC! :: Too much deprivation for me.

Burn it to a crisp, and the digestible carbs must be lower. Well yeah, if ya burn it to ashes, there won't be carbs left anymore. I don't think this is what most people mean by "toast" though. > However, this misses the point, that a low carber should not be eating bread > or toast. Agreed. I do the LC tortilla thing myself, but only once or twice a week. I'm even leery of them. Better to learn to eat without bread - there's tons of food you can eat without needing bread. I don't think so unless you really torch it. On the other hand, if you cut the slice in half, hold the sliced edges down, then shake real hard you can shake some carbs out the edges ;) .

All the carbs and calories leak out when you do that. Didn't you read the faq? <smirk> SignaturePeace! Om "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a bitch" -- Jack Nicholson It has to lower the carb content, as the carbs are oxidized by the heat. However, I doubt it makes any significant difference, because only a small portion on the surface is actually affected. |
