I have been using all my resources lately to make this "diet" a true lifestyle change. While I know I can go without bread for awhile to try & loose weight I know that I will not be able to avoid it the rest of my life & the thought of even doing that makes me sad. So I went online to try & do some reasearch & discovered low carb bread!! Only 1 net carb per slice! Is this heaven? Could it be? And then to shock & amaze me more low carb muffins? What? Low carb brownies?? All can be found at www.julianbakery.com! It is definitly more expensive than your regular grocery store bread which is almost $4 for healthy bread while this is $7.99 which is double but would I pay $4 more per month to be thinner?? Uh yeah! I see it as the McDonald's meal I didn't buy! There is even a place on the website for you to type in your zipcode & to see if anyone local sells it. Which is what I did & my local Whole Foods store carried it! Though from them it was $9.99 which was getting a lil crazy but I bought it to try & then I figure if I like it, I will order it online direct in the future. There is a sourdough bread that is 1 net carb per slice & a cinnamon raisin bread that is 2 net carbs per slice- I bought both to try. I wouldn't suggest the cinnamon raisin as you can barely taste it & I ended up adding a pkg of splenda & more cinnamon to it to give it more kick which could have been easily done to the sourdough for less carbs. It is a different texture that's for sure but very good if you have been deprived of bread & craving it! It's also very filling where 2 pieces is almost too much. This morning I used it like a bagel & toasted a slice & added a thin layer of reduced fat cream cheese to it! Yum! I have great plans for egg sandwiches, french toast & making my own garlic bread! All things I love & are now are low carb! Making the transition to a healthy lifestyle just got easier!
