Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Bread Question
Is low carb bread (6gr. a slice) allowed AFTER induction? I did the induction back in Sept. and been having an awful craving for a grilled cheese sandwich. Two slices of bread 70 cals, one tbsp butter 102 cals, one oz. of cheese 100 cals. If so how often, couple times a week? TIA >Is low carb bread (6gr. a slice) allowed AFTER >induction? >I did the induction back in Sept. and been having an awful craving for a >grilled cheese sandwich.

As with everything, count the carbs (and the calories if you're like me). Brenda 135/106 > Is low carb bread (6gr. a slice) allowed AFTER induction?

If so how often, couple times a week? TIA it's up to you. it depends on what your carb limit is, and whether or not you can stop at just two slices of bread. i myself don't have any problem with that, but other people report that even one slice leads to a slippery slope. your mileage, as always, may vary. > > Is low carb bread (6gr. a slice) allowed AFTER induction? > > <snip> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > i myself don't have any problem with that, but other people > report that even one slice leads to a slippery slope. Ooo. Me. Rye Bread toasted. French Bread grilled with garlic butter ooooozing out of its pores. Fresh French or Italian hard crust with camembert in heaps upon it. Not a bite; not a sniff may I have. It's more like a stage drop trapdoor than just a merely over-greased slope for me. Oh well. April. Put out the cat.

It's the galling realization that I have no control over it - that I must even go so far as to prevent restaurants from supplying toast on my plate.

LC bread in a sandwich is a lot less dangerous (for me) than nice warm bread in a bread basket. Now chocolate--I'm a chocoholic who is allergic to chocolate, so I have some incentive to be good. (If I am not, I pay with migraines.) SignatureJean B. > > you & me both, sister. i can stop at two slices of bread, but don't > > talk to me about chocolate unless you want to see me weep. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > is allergic to chocolate, so I have some incentive to be good. > (If I am not, I pay with migraines.) yeah, i pretty much limit my bread consumption to open-faced fried egg sammiches in the morning (toast, mustard, slice o' cheese, egg, yum). i don't buy specifically low carb bread, but i use the ezekiel flourless sprouted grain stuff which is low enough for those of us who aim for the 100g/day limit. i don't know what i'd do if i was allergic to chocolate. i suppose i'd butch up and deal with it, but it sounds tough. migraines are a pretty good motivator, though. heh. as long as i only buy a single serving of chocolate, i'm ok. i can eat just that and be fine. but if there is more than one serving around, it is almost impossible to stop myself from having more. i know damn well that it's the wrong thing to do, but it is a very difficult urge to overcome. > <snip> as long as i only buy a single serving of chocolate, > i'm ok. i can eat just that and be fine. but if there is > more than one serving around, it is almost impossible to > stop myself from having more. i know damn well that it's > the wrong thing to do, but it is a very difficult urge > to overcome. Aye. There's the rub. April. Put out the cat. Signature"Things that try to look like things often do look more like things than things. Well known fact."

There's the rub. alas, knowing something and being able to put it into action are not always mutually inclusive. still, i manage make the right choice more often than not these days, so i think there's hope for the future.

Garlic toast, or most of all the biscuits at Red Lobster. I can *not* resist those garlic biscuits.

I think how often you can have the sandwich really depends on whether or not the bread triggers cravings for you. SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. > Is low carb bread (6gr. a slice) allowed AFTER > induction? The carb ladder appears in the 2002 edition of DANDR. Maybe you have an earlier edition, maybe you have the wrong book by Dr A. The carb ladder lists what carb foods should by tried during OWL in what order. It is a guideline, not a strict list. Whole grains appear around 6-8 weeks into OWL. > I did the induction back in Sept. Then timewise you are plenty ready for the experiment. > and been having an awful craving for a grilled cheese sandwich. The more driven you feel the more likely it will be a problem. Don't be surprised if it triggers a binge. But also don't be afraid of it triggering a binge. As long as you use a few days of Induction to turn the binge off and learn to never eat the trigger food again, discovering a trigger food is an Atkins victory not an Atkins defeat. > Two slices of bread 70 cals, one tbsp butter > 102 cals, one oz. of cheese 100 cals. What's this calorie stuff? Has someone told you you have been chronically over eating? Atkins isn't about counting calories unless you have some reason to think you're outside a reasonable range. |
