Low Carb Bread

hoodyup@yahoo.com - 18 Jan 2008 04:52 GMT
Hey, peeps!  Long time, no post.  I haven't fallen off the wagon or
been doing anything spectacular, so I've just been hanging around in
the background, lurking.  Recently my wife (a certified carbaholic)
came across a recipe for "low carb" bread and has been dying to try it
on me.

So I had 2 slices on an empty stomach.

Tested before (108), at 20 mins (118) and at 1 hour (112).  I felt
this was a successful recipe (it was really good) it looked and tasted
just like regular wheat bread you'd buy at the store.   I've tried in
vain to find any low carb bread at the supermarket so I was pretty
much resigned to a life without bread.  It has been months since I've
had anything remotely resembling the light, fluffy, crusty on the
outside, spongy on the inside--you know...bread.  Anyway, you'd have
to have a clue about how to make bread to make the recipe work but
here it is for anyone with the time and the jones on for some low carb
grain products.  I still won't make bread a staple anytime soon, as I
really have gotten used to my veggies, salads, meat and cheese dishes.
But for a once in a while treat---

Here's the recipe:

1 pkg dry yeast
1 tsp sugar (for proofing the yeast)
1 1/8 cup "baby bottle warm" water (90-100F)
3 tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tbs Splenda
1 cup vital wheat gluten flour
1/4 cup oat flour
3/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup flax seed  meal
1/4 cup coarse, unprocessed wheat bran

This was a bread machine recipe, but my wife managed to make it using
a conventional oven using regular bread dough making techniques
(secret, of course).  45 mins at 350F or until golden brown.

Happy New Year and keep the faith!

Have you tried Oroweat Double Fibre? It's 10 grams net. I've also run
across one or two other brands with similar breads. I've also recently
found low carb flour tortillas - about 4 grams net.

I was buying the Double Fiber bread for my wife but not eating it
myself.  I guess I was just being very cautious. I don't know if the
"net carb" thing always works for me.  I've had to 86 some ice cream
products due to my tendency to overeat on it because I was doing fuzzy
mathematics in order to eat bigger servings.  They advertise only 3
net carbs, but somehow they start out with 10 and because some are
from sugar alcohol, they don't count?  Anyway, bread is more
straightforward (I guess).  Total carbs minus fiber equals net carb
grams.  I used to love fajitas with Don Pancho's low carb tortillas (4
net carbs).  The meter approved, too.  If I think about those fajitas,
I'll want a beer again :(

They often don't count the sugar alcohols that act like sugar for
some people and laxatives for some others.

I am fuzzy on the whole sugar alcohol thing.  Is it a sugar? Is it an
alcohol?  Is it a sugar made from alcohol or an alcohol made from
sugar?  I haven't found it to spike me or give me laxative effects.
But I do find it kind of deceptive to say "no sugar added" and
contains "sugar alcohols"...so I avoid them more or less in favor of
unsweetened products which I sweeten myself if needed.  For our
sweetening needs we've adapted to bulk Stevia.  1 tsp of this stuff is
equivalent to 1 cup of sugar in sweetening power.  We have
experimented (using my wifes still functional pancreas) to find this
ratio.  Other packaged Stevias are not as sweet, or have bulkening
agents like maltodextrin.  I don't knock Splenda, it seems to do what
it says.  I just prefer a little more naturally obtained sweetener
whenever possible.  My wife, aka SugarQueen, is also making the switch
to non-sugar sweeteners although not without some wicked
withdrawals.

Sugar alcohols are between sugar and alcohol.  There are some people
who neither spike on them not experience their laxative effects, but
not everyone.  They're often make from sugar.

Stevia, which is banned in Europe, is not approved for sweetening here in
teh US so i hesitate to use it.  If you tink of natural as better,
remember that deadly nightshade, a cousin of potatoes, peppers, eggplant,
is very toxic.  Nature is not always kindly.

I like Sara Lee Delightful Multi-Grain, and as you say, the low carb
flour tortillas are decent too.

That bread used to be a lot lower in carbs. They reformulated it about 6
or 8 months ago.  We now use Nature's Own Light Wheat. it's 14 grams net
for *two* slices. It tastes okay, too. Makes nice toast.

Out of curiosity, is that because the slices are smaller?

I don't recall seeing that brand anywhere.  I'm in Northern

I like the multi-grain better than the wheat, but as you say, it's
decent enough to eat. Is there anything in the world as good as real
home-made bread? I think not. :-)

I eat Ezekiel Bread.  I buy it at a health food store, but it is now showing
up in some of the "mainstream" grocery stores.  Ezekiel Bread has 14 grams
of carb per slice, but it does not have any effect on my meter whereas even
a single slice of whole wheat bread used to send it skyrocketing.  It is a
flourless bread made from unsprouted grains.  Incidentally, it definitely
does not taste like the homemade bread my mother used to make!  At first, it
tasted "stale" or "cardboardy," but I have gotten used to it since I no
longer eat any other bread.  I also use it toasted most of the time, and I
greatly prefer it that way.

I'm in Northern California too. They do carry the Sara Lee Delightful
breads in most supermarkets and Wal-Mart, but I haven't seen the bread
that Krom mentioned here either. I like Sara Lee brand, but others
aren't that crazy about it, so it is definitely a YMMV. Your wifes'
recipe sounds good too.

I will keep an eye out for it, but since my wife's bread is so yummy I
may just try to "help" her with her carb addiction by sticking with
her home made bread.  Fresh is best.  Plus you can see what's going
into it.  It has the added benefit of giving her some exercise
kneading the dough!

Unfortunately, most of these breads are no longer caried in my local
stores.  I can only get the Arnolds light breads which have about 9 grams
of net carbs and the slices are fairly small, thin abd not dense enough,
you know, kind of floaty awayey.  There used to be several others, but
they have all disappeared.

Hey, Andrew - good to see you, and nice to see you're doing well.
Thanks for your recipe! I use a similar one, replacing the soy with
either buckwheat, spelt or rye flour depending how I feel. In fact
you've just inspired me to go and make another batch - I slice and
freeze it, and I think I'm out...

I envy you guys.  The problem with low carb bread is that it is still full
of gluten.  I'm gluten intolerant in addition to being diabetic, and so
there isn't any bread that fits my needs.  It's a lose/lose situation.  I
have learned to live without bread, but it's hard.  If I were diagnosed with
some disease which would give me just 6 months to live, I would pig out on
bread, and to hell with the rest!

Sorry to hear about your condition.  I could live without bread, too.
I still would dip, even if I had no veggies or anything.  But it's

Wuzzup!  I've been on kind of cruise control, but I keep up with the
NG cuzz I just can't seem to stay away.  Hope y'all R doin' great in
'08.  I'm glad I found a bread I can tolerate because there's this dip
I used to like (minced garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar) and
it's hard to dip with no bread.  This is a really good cold remedy for
the winter, but just make sure everyone in the house has some, or the
ones that don't will be slightly offended at the ones that do.  If
everyone has some it's fair game.

Jusst for you-you can use raw vegetbles, particularly cucumber slices or
celery, but also cauliflower or brocolli, pepper strips, etc with dips.  
You don't have to give p your dips because you don't want to eat bread or

glad you were able to find a bread you can eat.. but at those testing
times, and bread being a slower acting carb, that the 20min test
hadn't even gotten into your system yet, more then likely neither did
the 1hr.. so I'd bet to say you were much higher at 2hrs.  then again,
it's very possible that your diabetes hasn't progressed very far and
you still have quite a bit of good natural insulin still working and since
you've gained control and no longer have high glucose that your system
has returned to normal.  that certainly is one main advantage T2's have
over T1's.

I think that is to get FULLY into your system in 15-20 mins.  I know htat
if I drink OJ and test as soon as I drink it I am bhigh adn spiking.  I
learned this the hard way, when I forgot to test before breakfast in my
early days after dianosis, realized it while drinking the OJ(had not yet
been told not to drink juice), immediately tested and found a very high
reading.

My experience also Wendy. The ingredients in Hoody's bread would have more
to do with the lack of spike than anything else.

Thanks, Ozgirl.  I kind of figured out my peak times for different
foods a few months ago and I tested quite frequently back then.  Now I
do pre, 20 min PP, 1 hour PP and occasional 2 hour PP (if the 1 hour
is not sufficiently lower) only when trying something new.  My wife
loves bread, so this was compromise so that we can both eat less
carbs.  With this bread you don't get the "carb rush" feeling that
comes with normal flour type breads.  I kinda miss that rush, like
they say "carbs are a helluva drug".  My fave carb overload was baked
potatoes. If the ever come out with a low carb version, let me know :-

Easy..bake the potato normal...steam some cauliflower and scoop the potato
innards out and mash 50-50 with the cauliflower and replace the hollow with
the new mixture and top with butter and enjoy.

I eat the faux mashed taters and get no spikes at all and it tastes the
same.

Some can eat just mashed cauliflower but the taste and texture grosses me
out the 50-50 mix is a good solution.

I have a small (ping-pong ball size) baked spud in it's
jacket with roast dinner about once a week. I found that a
large dollop of sour cream or a large dab of butter not only
adds to the flavour but helped with smoothing out the BG's.

Mashed with creme frais, I think it's gourmet... My BIL is very
suspicious about the whole low-carb thing, and normally won't touch
anything I do just for me. But they were round for dinner, and I
cooked roast beef, with a big bowl of mashed cauli alongside all the
other veggies and roast potatoes. I was running around, and forgot to
tell everyone what they were; he had thirds, convinced they were a
great new way of mashing potatoes, until he noticed I was eating it
too and asked what he was eating :P

So are you for your 1st grade behavior. But no one expects
anything more out of you... or does it just make you feel like
a BIG man attacking others at every turn? I guess you have
no real feelings for your fellow man or woman for that matter.
How very Christian of you to purposefully attack others just
to see how much you can hurt them. I certainly hope you have
a real good feeling about yourself.  I certainly wouldn't want
to be you if that's what it takes to feel good.  Have a nice life!

Most of Macks posts lately have nothing to do with diabetes or even
the discussion at hand.  They are filled with mean-spirited criticisms
and lame childish insults.  Ironically, most of what he posts in these
rants applies more to him than the people he is screaming at.

This is perhaps the lowest and most desperate form of insult in a
medical issue related newsgroup, support or otherwise.  In the past
when someone plays the medication or disease card when attacking
another in here it is, and should be, met with outrage by the rest of
the community.  I won't hold my breath waiting for that on Reisa's
post but I for one think Mack has crossed the line even more than
usual. Truly inexecusable.

One thing we tend to forget is that the stress
of diabetes will finally have a bad effect on the
victim.

I do know I have to step back and look at myself.

We witness a lot of that here.  It is bad because
the person affected does not realize they are
off base.

None of us are immune to the ravages of diabetes.

I try to make allowances and to attack the general
behaviors and to not hit the individual.

At times it is hard to post to avoid hurting
a few people.. but it is necessary to question some
concepts showing up here.  

It is the prerogative of anyone to post any
item  But most of us like to look at all sides and then to try to
sort it out.  That is the only way that we learn.

Remember a hit on our head can alter your ability to deal with the
world.  I have observed so many cases of this.

Advanced age does not help but a few of us still know that,
For how long????.

The Internet seems to bring our the worst in some people.
It creates a diversion from the purpose of  ASD and MHD

That is the way people like her are. Attack, and run like hell. And someone
explain to me just how the hell can we ALTER Google. It's a non editable,
archive database. We can edit it in a post sure, but all anyone has to do is
do a search the archive to verify the authenticity. Most be nice to think

diabetics becasue if they would stop shoving doritos down thier faces they

They remind me of politicians in that they will behave one way then will
speak as if THEY were the offended party.

It is like they are playing to the crowd which is odd since they claim

I spit my drink all over my new LCD when I read that BS line about not
attacking first. I have her dippy a.s KF'd, but glad someone quoted it
because I needed the laugh. Kind of sad that someone is THAT delusional
though. Mack might have been wrong though. More likely she didn't take the
meds for the schizophrenia she suffers from.

I wish this crap would stop.  It does not fit here.   I am a bit
guilty but much less than some.

I do not give a s h i T about this  juvenile behavior here.

Nothing seems to stop it so let be blunt.

The person that keeps this going has the problem.

Technical issues are being perverted to a bunch of garbage.

Some show more interest in sexual deviation than diabetic issues.

If you disagree on some diabetic issue. get off of your a.s and do
your homework and present you case with factual data

Sensible peopke will try to make the group into a pleasant experience.
Others want to fight for no sensible reason.

To operate as a group it is necessary to give others some slack and
stop the INSANE baiting crap..

It is obvious some are not here as diabetic but here as lost souls
tryng to find a niche.  Here they can be a big shot and tell others
off.

Again, get off of your a.s and do your homework.  Then there
will be real discussions which can work.

Will you accrue any respect if all you can do is bait others.

Your problem is most people will not listen to you for any good
reason.

I am and always was a dumb a.s but some of the crap artists make
me feel so  "smart".

The operation of a small group to gang up ony anyone is
shitty .   I have never found that mutual admiration  clans
serve any good purpose.

This was/is a diabetic group that needs a bit of tolerance
and friendly exchanges.  At time it as operated that way and it
was a pleasure..

I seriously suggest that if reading usnet upsets you so much that you step
away fro your own health.
This group will NEVER be what you wish it to be as thats just not
possible..sorry but thats the fact.

As i have said before guy your desire to control group should be thought of
like this :

A person starts off going to the corner bar..he knows everyone and  knows
the owner so he can behave as he wishes and can chase off those he
dislikes..right or wrong...

Then the bar is sold and is turned into a football stadium...and theres the
barfly mad his 50 cent beers now cost 5 bucks and are watered down and not
his brand and is screaming at all the fans to shut up so he can talk
politics to his oldtime pals.

The same is true of usnet..sure when i was into bbs/usnet 10 years ago there
was far fewer people and so groups were like the corner bar..small and ruled
by the few..times change and with more people and availabilty to the net
comes spam and the attention seekers you complain about.

The question to ponder is what if those who ruled the roost THEN are the
attention seekers and because they were in charge nobody called em out on
it?

The guy at the game screaming about that he wants to discuss politics simply
appears to be a nut.

Instead of complaints and lectures guy..why not do the very thing you demand
we all do and YOU talk diabetes..the issue then becomes what is diabtetes
discussions?..if its just the disease then we can simply post one post with
a definition and every now and then add a coment on new drugs or treatment
and walk away..
But since this IS a support group and NOT a medical board i put forth that
Any issue important to the diabetic PERSON is valid and worthy of
discussion.

In other words guy when you wifes friend died we were all here to support
you and her and one could say well thats not a medical discussion of
diabetes..nor is ciphilis or worms or many other topics you post about ..

So im gently suggesting guy you relax..conversate with us here and give and
get support and discuss diabetic medical things you wish on a moderated
board if thats what your seeking.

Of course you do as you wish..im just trying to be a friend/support to you.

Well, you're the one who started a separate thread about Reisa, so
what do you expect? I'll let
Reisas' words speak for themselves as to what she thinks about your
doing this very thing.

As good as the feeling you got about yourself when tried to hurt as many
people as possible in a very short period of time and in public? As Mack
said your memory of past events is very clouded. You have also attacked Guy
viciously in the past, ditto Tom and many others. What a f.cking hypocrite.

No outrage about Mack's comment playing the "overmedicated" card?
Figures.  Hey, I'd respect you a bit if you at least criticized him a
little for that mean-spirited attack even if you weren't moved to
throw an f-bomb in to punctuate your outrage.

But then again, you recently tried to justify calling her a pig...so
your moral thermometer seems to have lost its mercury.

Both you and Mack have said much worse things to people in this
newsgroup than Reisa ever has.  You might want to think again about
who deserves the title of "hypocrite"...of even "f.cking hypocrite."

This is drama? This is nonsense. This is also supremely

From what I hear it did. I'm sure you understand that a person can only
attest to the time they've been present, though, despite your seeming to
pretend that you missed the point here.

Indeed. I have had disagreements with Donna and Grandpa Chuck in the past,
but we were adult enough to get past all of that. Unfortunately there are
always a few that just can't play well with others no matter what. What's
worse is when they cry and whine because the actually think THEY are the
innocent parties. Man it must be nice to live in a fantasy world where you
get to decide how things are supposed to be. Alas, the rest of us are forced
to live in the REAL world.

That is pretty much the consensus of the group. If they would learn to play
nice with others, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. But until
such time as they can do that, people like rk are nothing but a waste of
space. I don't HATE her or anyone for that matter, but just have zero
tolerance for smacktards.

She also gets very nasty when it is pointed out she has made a mistake with
information. Most people accept it when they are told they are mistaken. And
this crap about people only being here xyz amount of time and think they
know everything gets up my craw. There is no time limit on learning things.
Some learn quickly, some can be here 6 years and still get it all wrong. Of
course the referral to real diabetics is also a nasty pill.

Figures.  Hey, I'd respect you a bit if you at least criticized him a

Both you and Mack have said much worse things to people in this
newsgroup than Reisa ever has.  You might want to think again about
who deserves the title of "hypocrite"...of even "f.cking hypocrite."

-----------------

And you might want to consider why you defend friends who write and do
despicable things. Yes Reisa has written despicable things, now and in the
past and you choose to turn it back on the person complaining about it. How
far do YOU let friends go without pulling away? Says a lot about YOUR
morals. Like the example posted recently where Reisa ripped into Guy a while
back. Where was your moral outrage then? You were in this group at the time.

So while we are on the subject, you are a f.cking hypocrite too. As to Mack,
he is giving nothing to Reisa that she hasn't given to him. I have seen far
worse come out of her mouth about him and without provocation. Unfortunately
there is a history here and there is far more that happened behind the
scenes than what you see here but what has been seen in here should be
enough for a decent person to walk away from and not defend.

You mean like you're doing?

You seem to have Mack syndrome...the inability to practice what you
preach.  But I will tell you this.  I'm walking away from this

But of course it will Alan, because that means he doesn't have to answer WHY
he continues to support someone he knows is wrong. SOOOOOO very convenient
