hi there,

Interested to hear if anyone has tried this bread. I am trying to find a low carb bread as all the ones i have made r shocking.

thanks, Cheley.

Hi Cheley

I haven't tried Alpha Life but have tried Perfomax by Country Life. Found it in my Woolies here in Sydney and it was great. About 7.5 net carbs per slice

When I am really keen on having a pizza, I use the 'Egyptian Bread Wholemeal'; its a 'pita' bread and it has 7.07g carbs per pita. I buy it at Coles in Manly - be careful not to buy the Egyptian Bread White, this one has more than 40g of carbs.

Thankyou both to Karinda and SportyOz,

I have approached my local Coles and they do stock Country life breads, but are having trouble getting it at the moment... I found their site on the web if anyone is interested;

So they will ring me when some comes in. I'll let you know what I think after I taste it!

In the meanwhile, I have been having, (on ocassions) RIGA - Light Wholmeal, it was 6.8 carbs per slice. (after fibre count reduced)
It very nice, toasts quickly, so be careful!! It very light in texture. Great for under the grill delights!!!

And SportyOz I will keep a look out for the Eqyptian pitas too! Great idea with the pizza topping!!

cheers Cheley.

when i feel like bread ... i go to bed and dream of it ,,, its carb free!! does sniffing bread have carbs? i sniff my daughters all the time,,,
how many carbs in sniffing? bye all

Jordy05, what about cutting the pita bread horizontally (I do that so I get 2 pizzas!)? You can then have one half only, at 3.5g!! WHat a bargain!!

I gotta find this egyptian wholemeal pita bread first yet....in goulburn NSW au not much chance,,, where do you get it and can you send me a box full!!
3.6 is a bargain for half a pizza,,, is it coles or wollies you get it from? and by the way describe the pack so I can ask the store to look for it for me... thanks sporty,
I will survive, as long as I know how to carb I know I`ll stay alive, I`ve got all my life to live,I`ve got all those carbs to miss, I will survive............ name that tune,,,LOL

Hi Jordy05,
I get the 'egyptian' pita bread at Coles. It is in the bread section, together with the other pita breads; comes in a plastic transparent bag, I think there are 5 in a package. Good luck!

Nature's own makes the BEST low carb bread and I have found it for $2 at all the grocery stores around here but I don't know if it is a local brand or national. Anyay it tastes just like normal bread and nothing like the atkin's bread I couldn't choke down. And after subtracting fiber, it is only 5 grams a slice, a normal sized slice, not a mini slice like the tiny 3 carb a slice bread atkins sells for $10 at health food stores.

Uh...Froggie, I doubt if Nature's Own is an international brand. How's Texas this time of year?

Sorry you can't get it over there! Texas is SUPER HOT, you can't even go out in the middle of the day. And boy, those mosquitos are eating me alive!

Hi all.

Those pitas sound great!!! Even my 6 year old son Alex is looking forward to me finding them and having a pizza night again!!! ( arrgh the good old days)

What do u use for pizza sauce?
Any LC suggestions most welcome.

Cheers Cheley.
