Lidl low GI cob loaf

[Mark Parrott]

I think this has been mentioned on here before, but today was the first time I saw one. Still warm when I bought it. Made a very large sandwich, bigger than expected. The slices are very large, could've got away with one slice really.🙄 It was very tasty too. Will test the results later.🙂

 

[Mark Parrott]

Well, I've tested & I don't believe the results. Before: 5.5, 2 hrs after: 5.4! Must be wrong. Will test in another half hour.

 

[Mark Parrott]

Right, now I'm 6.1, so either my last reading was wrong or the GI is so low that I'm just starting to rise.

I saw this cob in lidl this afternoon when getting my rolls. Will see how you continue then maybe give it a try. Trouble is it's cut your own slices and I'm not good at cutting small ones!

 

[Mark Parrott]

Me neither. I cut 2 slices like door steps (or is it door stops). I'll do another test about 5 o'clock.

 

[Mark Parrott]

Well, tested again at 4.50 & down to 5.7.🙂 Result! Will test it for toast in the morning.

Excellent! 🙂 Now, if only they would open a Lidl somewhere nearer to where I live! 🙄

Our local Lidl doesn't sell them. I visted the one near the hospital which is 20 miles away.

Aw, shame!

Do they not have a slicing machine?

My local LIDL isn't located where I can get to it easily, no buses that way unless I go into town and I can hit more shops in town anyway.

Next time I can get to a forum meeting I'll bring some!

I haven't tried asking if Lidl can slice bread. Might be worth asking.

Cheers Mark for doing the groundwork. I'm off to LIDL to stock up my freezer. Hurrah!

 

[Stitch147]

I'll have a look for these next time i'm at my local lidl. I miss toast!

Just been to Lidl and got their last 4 highprotein rolls and a low GI cob. Couldn't see anyone to ask re slicing it and didn't have time to hang about. Looking forward to trying it later and will report back.

 

[Dearo]

Got a cob today and to be honest I was very surprised, it's pretty tasty !!

 

[Lindarose]

I found it very tasty. Lighter than the high protein rolls but preferred it. Was 6.2 before eating 2 small slices (honestly) with cheese. 1 hour after I'm 8.0. Will recheck in another hour.

 

[Lindarose]

Down to 7.0 after 2. Hours so pretty pleased 🙂

I find it spikes me more at breakfast than Burgen, but at lunch time it's better than Burgen! Go figure. Either way, the spikes are no more than 3mmols at their worst.
