Livlife the greatest thing since sliced bread !

What a line eh, mine. Who would have thought I would ever being saying that about a shop bought bread. We mentioned this bread yesterday, as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and this bread tastes great. The makers say “Half the carbs of regular bread” they are being very fair and conservative. Each slice has 3.8 grams of carb. Following a total carb regime of 50 carbs per day I can fit a few slices of this great tasting bread into my meal plans. Check out the sandwich below, less than ten carbs in total and will keep me going until dinner tonight.

Edit

Ok I did a BG test on this bread, bear in mind it was only one slice 3.8g carbs with butter.

Fasting 6.1mmo/L  + one hour 5.6 (Accu-Check Nano) 5.8 (Accu-Check Compact) + two hours 5.3(Nano).

Obviously I missed the spike but given the readings it must have been minimal, will do more tests with couple of slices and report back.

    did you check your glucose after eating it, so have confidence that the label tells the truth? i always remember that Julian Bakery scandal....

    Hi Tess good point.

    I have not checked BG after eating the bread, but Graham has, and no problems at all, as of today . He will issue an update soon.

    HI Tess

    I have tested it and updated Eddies post with the result, as I'm very carb sensitive in the mornings I would have expected a slightly higher reading even from one slice.

    It warrants more testing with increased amounts of the bread but I'm confident it's going to be ok.
