Sourdough rye breads, those packed with seeds should have lower gi than others.
Thanks

Lidl do their own low GI loaf and rolls.
It seems to work well.

I go to sainburys. Depending which one they have , ill have wholemeal sourdough bread or wholemeal seeded bread. I won't buy unless it's wholemeal. Both seem to give smaller post meal spikes compared to other breads Ive had . The sourdough is quite high in carbs with 17g per slice but the seeded bread is 13g per slice with the smaller loaf.
Thankyou

Since Lidl stopped selling the low carb rolls I have not found anything else to buy. Low GI doesn't seem to work for me, but I also appear to get more carbs than the listed value for peas and beans, which a few others find as well, but only a few.

Actually the Waitrose one is only 3.4g per slice, got some today .
@Martin62 what is the name of the waitrose one please? I’ve just moved to the uk and am finding it so much more difficult to source affordable keto friendly substitutes compared to home.
The closest I’ve found is Ocado carbzone but it’s barely bread.

There's lots of quite simple recipes for making a very low carb seeded loaf around.
I don't have access right now to the one I usually use but this isn't a million miles away.
Basically it's whatever weight of any type of mixed seeds you like - split the amount into perhaps half or into thirds, grind half or a third into what's effectively seed flour, mix that back into the rest of the seeds. Add eggs or egg whites (usually quite a lot of them), salt etc... and bake for quite a while.
You do need a loaf tin and it always comes out well. It's very dense. Needs chilling completely before slicing but can be sliced really thin.
I'll dig out my go to recipe later but this is close.

coop have livlife but probably only bigger coops. there's not one near us either so what I do is go on a little trip to a big waitrose, buy 10 livlife loaves and I freeze them!
Wow! You must have a big freezer for 10 loaves of bread. I only have one compartment in my freezer for bread as the other three are used for vegetables, fish and meat.
