Bread?????

[ghhhhhost]

i was always under the impression that rye, whole wheat, and seven grain were considered low carb breads. i just read somewhere that they're 13g per slice..whereas i thought they were 3 grams per....

does anyone know the dizzeal?

Whole wheat is better for you because the amount of fiber is higher, so say a slice had 13 total carbs, you would subtract the 3 grams of fiber - so it's really like 10 grams of carbs per slice.

You should just by 'light wheat' or 'light rye' bread - it has 40% less carbs than regular bread. wonder light is really good! I think it's like 7 carbs per slice

well you have to figure out the net carbs..

the bread may be 13 g of carbs but say 5 g of those can be fiber..so really you would have to worry about 8g ..

you need fiber in your diet..btw

just watch what you eat....and dont overdo the carbs..especially the potatoes,pasta(mm gnocchi),corn,rice....

and eat instictively what you think is healthy..and eat to satisfy hunger...not boredom

It doesn't have any lower amount of carbs than a typical slice of bread. What whole wheat does have is a higher percentage of complex carbs as opposed to white bread which is mostly simple carbs and sugar.

Complex carbs break down slower and don't cause the same kind of spike in your insulin as simple carbs do. So there's less of a tendency for you to get fat.
