A "bread" recipe

When I have fried eggs, sometimes I'd like a piece of toast to soak up
the yolk. I now use a sausage patty instead, which works ok. Sometimes
I think this is stupid, because a slice of bread has fewer calories than
the sausage, so how is eating the sausage going to help me lose weight?
But then I remember that pre-LC, I'd have eaten the toast AND the
sausage anyway.

What's difficult for me with the low-carb lifestyle isn't missing the
foods themselves, but missing the functionality. Like how bread can
hold stuff and make it more convenient. Which, imo, is one of the things
that makes low-carb work. Since I can't eat a bunless burger while
driving (without making a big mess anyway) I don't eat while I drive
anymore. Since there's nothing in the house like chips that I can just
open and munch on (can't stand pork rinds) I don't mindlessly munch.
The most convenient food around here right now is the bagged salad, so
if I want to be lazy and not cook, that's what's available. Everything
else requires some thought and preparation, which for me is what has
been the biggest lifestyle change. Making eating less convenient means
I end up only eating when I'm truly hungry.

Sure. But low carb bread, in moderate amounts?

Maybe not, but relatively speaking, there is such a thing as low-carb
bread.

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!)

Probably not. I haven't eaten bread in like, three months now.

Well, I don't know. Perhaps for some, in moderation.


If you're not going to get serious, why even bother?

I'm just asking questions. Don't assume. Remember, when you assume,
that makes an ass out of Uma Thurman.

I agree. But there *is* such a thing as low-carb bread, isn't there?
At least compared to standard bread.

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

Yes. But the lack of convenience has had the biggest impact as far as
changing my lifestyle, diet-wise, and you were talking about lifestyle
change. Eating low-carb bread instead of regular bread isn't a
lifestyle change, but neither is eating sausage instead of bread. The
whys and hows of eating are the big change, not the food itself.

He just does not understand that some people CAN eat lower carbed things
like low carb bread. Just can not wrap his head arround it. I know plenty
of people that eat bread and are not fat.. On the other hand they dont sit

Oh I understand.. Just like 1 day every month I have 1 slice of whole wheat
toast when I eat out for breakfast. Yes it is not low carb but I dont eat
toast at home because I would overeat it.. there I only have 1 slice.. can
not over eat it if you only have 1.

For myself, I can eat this. A piece or 2 every so often. Others may not

able to - and I would expect those to simply bypass the recipe. Even
though
I've used usenet for a decade, it never fails to amaze me that so many
adults haven't grasped the simple facts that everybody's opinions,
thoughts,
experiences, and lives aren't the same as theirs. That's a very basic
fact
of life.

I'll probably continue to post a recipe every so often that I've found
helpful, in the event that someone else may, also. Take 'em or leave 'em,
makes no difference to me. But don't expect me to live by your rules, I'm
doing just fine using my own and when I need help or advice, I'll ask -
and
