November 28, 2008, Newsletter Issue #144: Low carb bread on Atkins induction

Tip of the Week

You know that Atkins inductions phase allows you to have 20 carb grams - and sometimes, you are tempted to use them for something like low carb bread. It's "only" 6 Net carb grams a slice! Why cant I have three of them? I still stay on the wagon!



In a way, why not, just once in a while? But think about it this way:



I packed cup of cut lettuce, including crisphead types, contains 1.15 carb grams and 0.77 g fiber = 0.38 Net carbs - plus vitamins, minerals, antioxydants and other phytonutrients.



A two-cup bowl of Greek salad has 4.95 Net carb grams and lots of beneficial nutrients!



There's no nutritional facts for Orowheat's low-carb bread even on this company's official website but other low carb breads looked very poor in essential nutrients. So you can have you bread but beware - instead of what?
