Hi - I am newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic trying to change my way of eating to High fat, low carb, virtually no sugar or sweeteners (use the steevia plant sweeteners) who wants recipes for acceptable breads. Seems the Burgen Linseed & Soya is one of the lowest carb breads around as the seeds take longer to digest/metabolise. Tonight I saw the brown Low GI cow bread at Lidls, and bought one. Absolutely crispy and delicious (even my male lodger loved it with out evening salad). VERY GOOD and recommend it. Alison

Hi @Alison Carr , welcome to the forum 🙂 Did a double-take at 'cow' bread 😉 Please feel free to ask any questions you may have!
 
Sorry I had missed my 'cow' bread error - ha ha (my contact lenses aren't wonderful for writing/reading) - well that' s my excuse. The lovely low GI BROWN bread is quite delicious - toooo much so; I will have to be careful not to over-indulge. I prefer that to white bread any day - but that's me. Thanks, Alison

I notice that Lidl have started doing low GI bread. Has anyone tried it? What is it like? Any idea how it compares to Burgen on GIness and carbs?

Hi there...just to let you know, I did a search for the ingredients on this as it tasted sweet. It appears to have sugar, burnt sugar and glucose syrup in it. Shame as it also has oats, seeds and rye flour along with the usual white bread ingredients and it does taste quite nice, but really don't see how they can call it low GI with all that sugar in it!

Hello Alison.welcome to forum. I've bought it and really morish so don't get it often.
 
I get the Lidl rolls. They are very filling & don't affect BG too much.
 
I always have plenty of LIDL protein rolls in the freezer. At 10-12g carb (depending on weight) they're my 'go to' bread of choice. They taste even better following a quick warm through in the microwave. I love 'em 🙂
 
I bought a Lidl low GI loaf thinking it would be lower in carbs but am confused now because I've found varying carb levels per 100g of between 20-36 grams of carb (on different sites). When I had it previously I did notice I spiked a bit but put it down to something else. The protein rolls are only 8.6 grams of carb per 100 grams weight according to the Lidl site so there's a massive difference.
Maybe I should give the low GI bread a miss?
 
I never checked the carbs with the low GI bread. It does spike higher than the rolls, but as I'm rubbish at slicing, i end up with a massive doorstep.:D

Wow. I'll have to look to see if ours has a slicer.
 
It's apparently only stores that sell a lot of loaves that have them.
 
I'll ask them how well their bread sells.:D
 
That's interesting. The first time I had, my BG didnt budge. The second time, it shot up.:confused:
