Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Help me find a substitute for bread!
What do you propose? Something easily available anywhere. > What do you propose? Something easily available anywhere. You can wrap a sandwich in large lettuce leaves. Rebecca Cheese puffs. Bake a slice of cheese in the microwave on a peice of freezer paper, shiny side up, for approx. 1 minute...your cheese will puff up and be crispy and you can use it like bread. > What do you propose?

Something easily available anywhere. Self control, discipline, or will-power. They're all great substitutes for bread and all other bad carbs. Just buy bread. There's plenty of low carb options available. I prefer Natural Ovens Golden Hearth myself. Rachel 234/207/150 Are you talking about for sandwiches? When I'm in the mood for, say, a ham and cheese sandwich, I just roll up a slice of ham and a slice of cheese. It's even better with a dill pickle spear and some mayo in the middle. If you want bread because you want toast, can't help you there, sorry. The only time I ever wanted toast was with fried eggs with the yolk runny, but I found that sausage soaks it up just fine too. If you like hot sandwiches, a ham and cheese roll can be nuked, or for a hot open faced sandwich, a pan-fried or grilled portabello mushroom cap makes a good base to put stuff on.

At least somebody who understands me! :o))) Sandwich that is. I wonder if somebody use 'Wrap' and then I was told that wrap' GI were most as worse as bread. I saw that there were low-carb breads on the market. It does not seem to me that it is easily available in most groceries, though. Bread is not low carb. Never has been. Never will be.

Take a slice of cheese, slice of deli meat, spread on some mayo or mustard or even ranch salad dressing, put a dill pickle spear in the middle, roll it up, and eat it. It's really good that way. Man, now I wish I had that stuff here, I could go for that right about now. Bad Luna! No more night eating! SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws.

It > does not seem to me that it is easily available in most groceries, though. There are many low carb breads. I usually look for the store brand light bread. Most of it figures out to 6 or 7 carbs per slice. I do limit it even now that I am on maintenance. I made a meatloaf sandwich with one slice of bread, cut in half and a some LC ketchup on it, heavenly! BTW, I have also purchased low carb tortillas in my local Wal-mart, they are high fiber, low fat and are terrific. It always freeze half of my purchases but most bread that I buy is about $1.50 to $2.00 a loaf. I did try Atkins bread at $5.00 a loaf and found it to be rubbery in texture.

I forget how it goes, but there is a saying something like 'God grant me the wisdom to accept that which I cannot change, and to change those things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.' After a while it gets much easier to leave those high carb foods behind.

I remember when I was new to low carbohydrate eating, and the sense of utter *panic* at the thought I'd never be able to eat bread again. Now that I've been without bread for over 2 years, I don't miss it. And trust me, I was the queen of bread craving. I've been baking it for over 2 decades, and would have to double the recipe JUST so my family could have some too. Now, I bake it for them, and not even the smell entices me. If indeed you still feel that bread is a must, stick around, people either have recipes or sources for bread that is supposedly low-carb. But for me, the easiest thing is just to not consume it full-stop. > > What do you propose? Something easily available anywhere. > > How about a smaller waistline? Change you WOE -- after a while I found > I no longer crave that which I know I cannot have. It's not true that you "cannot" have bread. You have chosen not to have it. There's a big difference, having to do with your use of free will. > I forget how it goes, but there is a saying something like 'God grant me the > wisdom to accept that which I cannot change, and to change those things that > I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.'

Bread for what purpose, and what's the problem with mostly doing without bread? Nature's Own or Orowheat reduced carb breads are okay for an occasional piece of toast or occasional sandwich, but probably not daily if you're in weight loss phase. Although a few grams more carb, they are less costly and better tasting than foam-rubbery Atkins bread. 168/125/125 7 years: LC since 2/18/97 maintaining since 3/17/99 Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." for bread? We have tasted, toasted and cooked with allot of Atkins breads and didn't like them, since we love our WHITE stuff lol but we settled down to using allot of the low carb tortilla shells found in health food stores and speciality groceries. They are 3 carbs each and wrap around everything in a most delicious way! THey come in Onion and Herb flavors. > What do you propose? Something easily available anywhere. Put the fillings between two big Portabello mushroom caps! You want good, sautee the shrooms in a little bit of olive oil first. Blot out the excess oil so your fingers don't get greasy. |
