Bread / Wraps

[Jacinta (Australian)]

I've been using the bfree sweet potato wraps. They have just 13g of carbs per wrap. I had 2 last week for fajitas and didnt spike. I wrap them individually and freeze then use as pizza bases or for sandwiches. I've even though about ordering a halloumi wrap from my local pizza company and just transferring the contents Into one of these wraps just so I can enjoy a guilt free takeaway. I find they taste just as nice as other wraps. They are a little pricey though

Sounds good I’ll give this one ago to .

For bread, not sure if you’ve tried:

Probably the best tasting and looking low carb bread I’ve had. And you can freeze it!

Hello indy12 , unfortnately I’m in Australia but I have contacted them and they replied to hopefully come out to Australia to sell there products to us , atm they are up to Europe for selling their products . Hopefully they can come to me next and I’ll support them . The bread I’m using atm is Lower carb which is 78% not sure if that’s good or not ???

There is no real "good or bad".
Everyone has a different tolerance, and then that varies by what you eat it with, and how much of it.

You need a meter,. and all we can do is try a food, test that meal, and it's ok for you, or it needs tweeking if you react past your personal target.

Im going to be honest travellor , I’m nervous about using a meter more so I dislike needles , I know I need one but it makes me really anxious . I don’t know why but it does . Im guessing cause I’m afraid when I prick myself it’s going to hurt a lot .

It doesn't.
I won't say you can't feel it, but it's not painful.
And the benefits far outweigh the cost.
It's probably easier to ask a friend to do it, while you look away initially, until you experience it a few times, and hopefully the stress will decrease.

I have so missed bread. This week I ordered bread and rolls from The Low Carb Food co., which is also delicious and only 4g carb. Ordered 4 loaves and a 4 pack of rolls to put in freezer. Have to admit I was sceptical but tadte and feel was like the real thing.

So glad I ordered.

Don't even think of it as a needle as in many devices you don't even see the pointy bit as it is enclosed and you only feel the pressure of the device against your finger. Making sure your hands are warm and choosing the right spot and you will hardly feel a thing. Imagine the last 2mm of a fine sewing needle is about what they are or at least the ones I have are. Pulling a hair out of your head hurts more. You will have much better control if you use your monitor.

The strips are the expensive part. I use a Braun Omnitest 3, the strips are £15 for 50 if you test throughout the day the 50 don’t last long. The tip of the pricky bit you hardly notice.

Thankyou for the reassurance leadinglights I appericate it a lot . I totally agree with you on that .

Thankyou for that Annette&bertie for the reassurance on the needle part and yes I noticed the strips are a bit pricey but I’ll case some out as I’m in Australia so ill see how expensive it is for more then 50 strips .

It really depends on which monitor you have as the strips for mine are £14 for 100 (Amazon)

Drummer I want a new test monitor for cost effective strips which is yours that you get 100 for less than I get for 50? I won’t buy anything that comes from China in whole or in part! I came back to edit, have found a kit made in UK and ordered it from SME DIAGNOSTICS !

About 2 months ago I started eating Bread again, having cut down on the obvious carbs
Since eating bread again my levels aren’t quite as good as they were (but still in a good range)

I’ve found this Warburtons loaf not to bad on my levels, usually eating a slice or two of toast for breakfast and two slices for a sandwich (Packed Lunch) I found this in Tesco I’m sure it was just over £1 per loaf
so compared so some of the ultra low carb breads available I think its OK


I’m still tempted however to get a BreadBaking machine and let it bake me a fresh loaf for me.

Ive posted a photo of this Warburtons loaf,
as I see it it’s 9g carb per slice (which is certainly considerably better than a standard bread)
both supermarket and fresh bread is what I was definitely eating far to much of when I wasnt
taking action to look after myself before

Same as I've just tried, found mine in aldi for £1 a loaf and it doesn't high spike me like white/seeded etc.

I put lots of info on the food section you don't need a fancy bread maker I've had my Morphy richards maker for years with no problems. Honestly if your a bread lover like me this stuff is so nice and you just cut the loaf in half then freeze it keeping the other half in the fridge buy ingrediency in bulk and you all set.

If you want any info about it like where to buy ingrediencies etc just ask.
