The low carb bread discovery!!

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!
