Half the Bread

Bay Area Dave · Joined: 26 Jul 2007 Posts: 4

guess what? the bread I've got is listed as "STONE GROUND WHOLE WHEAT
BREAD".

so I looked at the ingredients. get a load of this:

whole wheat flour
water
high fructose corn syrup
vital wheat gluten
yeast
2% or less of the following:
soybean oil
salt
honey
molasses
raisin juice concentrate
blah blah blah chemicals...

calories per slice - 110
calories from fat - 10
total fat - 1.5g
total carb - 20g
dietary fiber - 3g
protein - 4g

so now what do I do? keep eating it or am i kidding myself that it's
healthy stuff?

I've been buying the Nature's Own brand bread - Wheat 'n Fiber. It
has 7 grams of carbs per slice and it's very soft. The flavor is
almost nutty becaue some of the flour in it comes from soy instead of
wheat. The same company makes a sugar free bread, too, but it has
almost as many carbs as regular bread and doesn't taste as good.

If you go again next week, she may substitute the OTHER slice with a lump of
lettuce too, THEN where would you be:-))

If it doesn't bollocks your sugar levels up, carry on eating it.

I don't know if anyone else has the same "problem" with bread as I do
though, and that's eating whoe grains is harder than eating white refined.
The breakdown of the wholegrain bread is a total mismatch for Humalog (and
me)

I didn't read the entire article because it looked like you had to subscribe
to get it. It just surprised me that it was the first thing that came up on
the search engine.

I bet that's why I like this one of the 3 "wheat" breads I've tried
recently. But the idea was for me to find a healthier bread to
eat...I'll start paying MORE attention to the labels next time I'm in
the bread aisle.

I did a little research and found a lot of the "lite" breads can and
do have more carbs and calories then regular breads. With the advent
of "lo carb" diets and people jumping on the band wagon to try them, I
worked with a nutitionist and came up with some great recipes to make
in a breadmaker and they are light and yummy. Each slice of bread I
make is only 6 carbs and not paper thin. I loved them so much I
started selling them to folks on Lo-Carb and diabetic diets and they
are doing very well Smile

I can send recipes to those who might wanna
try them, I also have a killer recipe for peanut butter cookies and
cheesecake squares with about 3 carbs per cookie. I don't mean to
sound like I am advertising here, these recipes are freebies to anyone
who wants them. Drop me an email

I used google and had to really search for it. Maybe I used different key
words.

It does for me as I have installed a brilliant little program called
OE-QuoteFix. When you hit reply in a message it deletes a lot of
unwanted stuff, like the sig files of the previous poster etc and
fixes the word wrap problem where you get some long line of a message
and some with only one word in it. Once it is installed all I do is
open the "modified" Outlook Express when i want to use it. Oh, while
you are replying to a message it changes other conversations in
different colours according to the author.

I used MSN. Probably not the best search engine, but the quickest for me to
