BREAD????????

I notice some of you are eating bread and I was wondering about that?? I want some bread, toast etc?? But I have not tried I'm a little scared. What about rice???

My doctors and nutrionalist gave me the thumbs up for bread. They did suggest that it was toasted (haven't tried nontoasted) and light wheat. I use a break called "HEALTHY LIFE" it has 30 calories and 2 carbs a slice - and it tastes AWESOME! It also has 5g protien per slice. I usually eat a light whole wheat low carb Thomas English Muffin (1/2) with ham and cheese melted on it though. Haven't tried rice yet.

I use a SF Heart healthy whole wheat bread. I do toast it. I used it last week to make grilled cheese sandwiches and yesterday morning I made cinnamon toast. I used a small amount of lite butter, sprinkled on some splenda, topped it off with cinnamon and then toasted it. I could only eat about 1/4 of the slice, but it was great for breakfast!

My doc gave me the thumbs up on bread too. Just told me to stay with a whole wheat variety. They also told me I could try rice if I wanted to. They said to take a small bite and wait about 15-20mins just to make sure it goes down okay. Sometime it can feel like your stomach is blocked. My dietician said the same things the doc said. I have had no problems with bread but I am still a little scared of the rice. I may get brave in the next little while though. Take care! Diana

I tried bread for the first time last week and I did toast it. I put a thick layer of tuna fisth and it and it was a HIGH PROTEIN lunch. I haven't tried bread w/out it being toasted but I discovered that wraps don't bother me.

Hi there I was told not to have whole wheat!!! I have been having white bread, but can ony eat it toasted as it gets stuck if I don't. When I try to eat it not toasted it feels like it gets mushed up into a sticky ball. Rice goes down well though Ruth 'To live without risk is to risk not living'

Curious... why were you told NOT to eat wheat bread? I was told the exact opposite and warned how bad white bread was for me.

I was told wheat & grain breads are harder to digest! I really prefer these kinds of breads but haven't tried themjust in case.

I'm curious about the whole wheat also, I figured that would've been the better choice Go figure. I did take a small bite of a whoe wheat roll today and work and had no problem.

My nutritionist gave me the thumbs up on bread, rice, and pasta...To be honest I can eat anything now. I don't eat much bread because it fills me up to fast..I can only eat a 1/4 of a sandwich and I'm full. I can't eat flour tortillas either however, I can eat corn tortilla and not get an upset stomach. I do eat spanish rice and other dishes with rice and I've never had a problem with it either. Everyone's bodies are different so It's one of those things you just have to try and see if it works for you. Jeni
