Has anyone tried this Paleo bread?

I'm not on the Paleo diet, but this bread really interests me because it is low carb, has protein, and it is Gluten Free, which means it fits in with my sleeve nutrition criteria as well as my wheat allergy.  Anyone tried it?  I'm thinking about ordering it.

I haven't, but I just ordered a bunch of coconut, almond and ground flax to start learning how to bake grain-free & sugar free. Not for any allergy or paleo - just general health and the weight thing.

If you try it- let me know what you think of it..

There are a lot of low-carb/grain-free recipe sites out there, I've gotten my interest piqued enough that I bought the ingr. to do some of it.. If you've tried baking grain free- I'd be interested in your experiences!

I've baked quite a bit with ground flax, ground almond and ground coconut back in the Atkins days, however, the recipes always called for vital wheat gluten, which of course, is no longer an option for me.  You made me think about it and wonder if I could take some of those recipes and make them work without the VWG. 

My interest in it is also the weight thing

I have a friend who is Paleo, and also happens to be a doctor, she totally believes in  the Paleo lifestyle for health reasons.  I'm not sure I can go that gung-ho diet wise though.  I'm already gluten free and recently learned I am lactose intolerant thanks to getting my gallbladder out.  I am already so limited on food that I think the Paleo diet would make me feel deprived and miserable...LOL  I'll just stick to low carb for now!!  I've also found some really great low carb recipe sites.

My friend told me one of her other friends ordered 2 loaves of that Paleo bread and it came in moldy, with the company not responding to her complaint.  She herself, just ordered 4 loaves.  She is going to let me know if it comes in good and mold free.  I was ready to order it, but I will wait now to see if she has a good experience.

What's your favorite low carb recipe site?

Yeah, I will stay in touch with you if these things work out since I understand the allergy thing. I *know* without the VWG these things won't taste the same.. heck, I mastered real NY style pizza crust, which requires high protein flour plus VWG to get that perfect texture.. geeze I miss that.. someday I need to do it again, but I will need to make the cheese too like I used to..

I also have a few folks in my life that are strict paleo- I can't live without cheese and fermented/cultured dairy.. I could care less to drink it raw (which I loved..) but I love my cultures! Does fermented or cultured dairy bug your guts post GB, or just straight up milk? Kefir was great for my guts..I loved raw milk when we had a cow-share, couldn't deal with store bought due to lactose issues.. the raw, unhomogenized full-fat slowed down the sugar thing and let me enjoy it w/o issue.. but it's too high in sugars/cals to do right now, maybe someday.. plus I really preferred fermented milk or home-made cheese anyway (I border on the weird fermented/cultured foodie fringe, I dig the sour.)

My fav low carb sites are:
http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/   Then I like these for things like comfort food and nutritional info fun.. I have yet to experiment with any of this nut flour stuff, so I anticipate some fabulous flops in my future, but if I come across a winner, I'd share with you for sure.. heck, if you know enough folks that may be interested in this stuff, I'd be willing to start a small group? I'm kinda committed to eating fairly grain free save for the indulgence evenings that pop up... and if you know of anything fun- please let me know.    http://mariahealth.blogspot.com/ http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/ http://247lowcarbdiner.blogspot.com/ http://peaceloveandlowcarb.blogspot.com/

Wow, you are really doing great!!!!!  You use to make your own cheese????  I didn't know that you could have a cow share!!!!!  Do you live in CA?

I've been reading the sites you posted and LOVE them!!!!  I see a lot of the recipes call for coconut milk.  I use coconut milk creamer in coffee, and recipes, and coconut milk instead of regular milk in my shakes.  I have most of the ingredients already for many of the recipes because of being GF and Dairy free.

I hear ya, VWG was the gold standard of low carb baking, but those days are gone, and there has to be another way to make them work.

I love the sour too, and the funky weird cheeses.  I miss them so much.  I was thinking though, that I could buy some lactaid, that way I could still eat some dairy.  I'll save it for special cheeses and sour cream.  I actually don't drink milk.  I don't like it.

And yes, I predict some fabulous flops in my kitchen in the future too....

Do we already have a grain free group?  Is the clean eating group a grain free group?

I used to make mozzarella, ricotta (with the leftover whey), fromage blanc, kefir, yogurt.. etc.. just the easy stuff- no aged cheeses! Someday.. 

I live in Indiana, so to get around the stupid raw milk ban you can buy a "cow share".. I'm sure if they have their way, someday they will put an end to that.. I can't deal with store-milk at all after having real pastured milk for so long, the taste and GI issues I get from commercial.. so until I need to really either start doing cheese again, or upping my fat/cals (doubtful) our cow-share is on hold.

I don't know about the groups anymore, I haven't been around as much- I check in here, and on the main board usually 1x a day, sometimes if I'm bored, I'll hang out at night and pop in.. 

 Tri****ried the Low Carb Julian bread. I kept it in the freezer because I only wanted an occasional slice. Once frozen it was difficult to get a slice without it crumbling. I would put parchment between the slices if I did it again.  At $7.99 a loaf, it just wasn't tasty enough or interesting enough for me.

I've been striving to eat Primal because I'm not ready to give up dairy and make the Paleo switch, but it's very interesting to me.  I've been doing a lot of reading on both.  I also want to check out Crossfit when my plastics are completed.

I'm on vacation for 12 days, staying with friends in Oregon,  so for the next week I'm just trying to keep things heathly, fresh, organic and sleeve friendly.  I'm always reminded of how much I love my kitchen and simple way of eating.  

Let me know if you try the Paleo bread.

 Hi Lee, Are you having more plastics done?

I observed a Crossfit class a couple of months ago. It is really hard core, but supposedly very effective.

Crossfit is awesome!

But the gyms can be kind of macho and that can lead to people doing more than they should and getting injured. So the key is to both pick a good gym and also to listen to your body and not the part of your brain that likes to "win". LOL

The class that I watched, was very challenging and was geared to one's fitness level, but what I observed that with multiple reps, a woman was getting very tired and her form wasn't corrected. I noticed, that also occurred with some of the other class participants. Form is so critical and the instructor did try, but I noticed some people using poor form. Plus, after getting used to working out in a gym, the mirrors do help to maintain form.

Definitely, listening to one's body is key, and the woman that I observed, probably should have shifted to less intense exercise, since her form was suffering.

I would like to try it, but I was irritated that medical personnel didn't receive a discount. Maybe, I will try it again. I just wanted to see what the class was all about.
