[dropcap style=”font-size: 60px; color: #71CCD5;”] W[/dropcap]hen I started my diabetes / Low Carb adventure, I wasn’t looking for low carb bread substitutes.
I had this idea in my mind that I wanted to stick to real food.
No ‘fake’ Low Carb bread products for me.
Mostly it was a taste thing. How could Low Carb bread possibly taste any good? But I also didn’t want to be relying on processed staples.
For years I was happy to just skip the toast and sandwiches. But over the years I’ve realized it’s nice to be able to have a sandwich, or something on ‘toast’ (I’m looking at you avocado) from time to time.
And the best news?
You don’t have to sacrifice pleasure.
Sure some of these options are ‘different’ to real bread made with real flour, but different can still be super delicious and satisfying. You don’t need to compromise your health goals to enjoy any of these ideas…
