low carb bread in Ottawa
Hi all:
I have now tried the Atkins low carb bagels (at Loblaws) and the Farm Boy low carb bread. I'm happy to announce that I can now have my bread and eat it too .... in moderation, of course.
I found the Atkins bagels not like bagels at all, but rather like a french brioche... which I happen to like. They are very expensive ($1 each) but half a bagel in the morning does the trick.
The Farm Boy bread is wonderful.... it tastes like bread and is not outrageous expensive. They have two different types: a low carb multi-grain, and a low carb multi-grain "everything" (with sun-dried tomato). They sell it in 3 different forms: bagette, buns ($.59) and round bread loaves ($3.99). Total carbs are 9.7 (dietary fibre 2.3, sugars 1.5) for 50 grams of bread.... two slices or one bun. Given the uneven shape of the breads though, you might have to weigh the slices to make sure you have a good idea of what 50 grams actually is in terms of quantity so that you can keep a handle on your carb intake. I'm going to try making some bread crumbs with it --- it's got to be better than the keto crumbs!
Regards
