In my attempt to cut carbs I have been looking very closely at bread.
And I have decided it's all a complete con - there is no such thin as 'low carb bread'.
Here is my reasoning
all per 100g:
Average white bread loaf has 45g of carbs
Average wholemeal loaf has 40g of carbs
Average 'danish' loaf as favoured by many diabetics has 45g
Hovis Nimble has 39g
Milk loaf has 45g
French baguette, bloomer etc all around 50g
The ONLY difference in the different loaves is the size and thickness of the slices - the 'low carb' breads just have smaller slices.
Therefore 'low carb bread' is a misnomer, it's only 'low carb' because there is less of it in general!
