If you're trying to quit smoking, you don't switch
to a lower tar and nicotine cigarette.


Then I guess I am missing the point. I'm trying to lose weight so I
should
have quit eating instead of switching to different foods?

Don't be silly. You can switch to any number of low-carb foods that
aren't substitutes for what got you in trouble in the first place.


Now who is being silly? Does the sub produce the same insulin response and
addictive behaviour? If it does then it is probably a psychological
association so stay away from it. If the nature of the ingredients are
producing a much smaller insulin respsonse, satiation (increased fibre, lack
of simple carbs etc) and no addictive behavior then it's not a problem.

Luna---I totally agree. LOL, the bag o' salad in my fridge is my only
'convenience food", too.

Eggs without toast IS barbaric! I have a loaf of whole grain LC bread in
my freezer just for those occasions I have eggs (maybe twice a week).
If, twice weekly, my 40 carbs a day includes 5 g. from a slice of LC
toast....whats the BFD?

Maybe nothing for you. I don't do so well with wheat, even in small
amounts. Wheat and potatoes are my problems. Wheat gives me heart
palpitations and hot flashes, potatoes give me what I think is acid
reflux. Something like, anyway. My experiments with corn and rice in
small amounts had no adverse reactions except I don't like them anymore.


The fact that it is whole grain and NOT white flour makes it a complex
carb, just as "good" as any other complex carb. Discerning the
difference between whole grain, high fiber LC bread and a big white
French baguette is fairly easy---one I say "yes" to...the other, "no
way".

Plenty of people lose weight on a "healthy carb" diet instead of a "low
carb" diet. Just cutting out junk food alone would help lots of people.

I just think it's important, especially for newbies who may be reading
here, to point out _why_ the anti-sub people are anti-sub. To let them
know what to look out for, in case they have similar physical or
psychological reactions.


Yet it is Atkins 101 to add foods in stages to see what your trigger foods
are and to learn to avoid them. While not everyone does Atkins many do and
they should be aware of it. It is basic. It is also basic Atkins to
control your inulin response by controlling carb intake and the levels are
very much individualised as are the foods. Subs fit.

Quoting :
Less carbs than normal bread = "low carb bread".

Some people actually -can- get away with substitutions that come close
to their old high-carb favorites and still be successful, but they are
generally in the minority and it's frequently those that didn't have
much fat to lose in the first place.

Depends on "close" Supposedly the closer you are the higher the carb level
the higher the insulin response.

I think those who find subs that work for them are most likely to find long
term success.

Sure. But low carb bread, in moderate amounts?



There is no such thing as moderation when it comes to carb addiction...
Bread is one of the fastest ways to set it off too.
Bread and/or cookies.

There is bread and then there is bread. if it is truly a *carb* addiction
and the lc bread has much less *carbs* not to mention a different type of
*carb* (lower glycemic, complex, high fibre) then you have a different
response if the addiction is due to the carbs and not just the flavour
taste and smell.

I've been tweaking various recipes to try and come up with more fiber in
my
diet (I aim for 30g/day) as well as things to keep my husband's lunches
interesting. I've come up with these and they are, if I may say so
myself,
delicious. You can take 'em or leave 'em if you're not interested, but
for
those who are, here is the recipe:

2c CarbQuik (www.netrition.com)
½c High Gluten Wheat Flour (www.netrition.com)
1c flax meal
½ tsp. salt
3T butter, room temp
1½c hot tap water

Mix dry ingredients thoroughly; create a well in the center; put butter
in
well. Add 1 cup of hot water and stir it in, then add more as needed to
form a medium-stiff dough; you may not need to use all the water. Let
rest
for 10 minutes.

Press dough out onto a buttered jelly-roll size baking pan with buttered
fingers; score into 14 equal pieces. Bake at 350ºF until lightly
browned.
Cut at scores and remove from pan to baking rack (bottom will be moist
and
needs air to dry) to let cool. (I store mine on the racks in my
dehydrator - off of course.)

These are regular bread-sized pieces, and kept their firmness and didn't
get
soggy in my husband's lunchbox when I used them for tuna salad
sandwiches -
a big plus! And I'm guessing the dough will make a fine pizza crust as
well...I'll try it sometime this week.

Here are the numbers (per piece):
kcal - 117
fat/sat - 14/3.5g
carb - 10.7g
fiber - 9.1g
net carb - 1.6g
protein - 14g

(My business revolves around the creation of foods - and it sure is
coming
in handy now that we're livin' low carb!)
