Cutting the Carbs; Anything to replace bread ?

[UnatcoAgent]

Ok guys I'm pretty much in the first few days of my low carb diet, however I wish I had something for spreads like peanut butter and others, much like bread but with low carbs. Any idea ? Anything to melt cheese on ? (ahahah I love this diet)

For the first week or two you're going to have to resist eating bread. After that, if you want to eat bread try to find whole grain bread like whole wheat.

Oh no worries I can easily go without it, but if there is anything in replacement that would be stellar.

That's pretty much what i do.

And as for melting cheese... i just buy a big ham, and slice some up. Put some cheese over it, and microwave it to melt the cheese. mmmm

Coldcuts work for this too.

Replace bread with a slab of steak.

Replacing bread with ham and/or steak does not sound particularly healthy to me.

After your induction period. Maybe the crust from this

you can make like tortilla roll-ups or wraps with a big leaf of lettuce.. even with peanut butter it's ok, but ham/cheese, turkey/cheese, roast beef/boursin.. that's fine stuff.. the tortilla doesn't do much but stick to your teeth anyway, just as good without!

I hope it's unsweetened or "natural" peanutbutter.

Yep, to the ignorant it might not be.

Pick up a pack of pepperonis.

Then, spread them out on a plate or cookie sheet. Sprinkle cheese all over. Maybe even some pizza sauce. Then, either microwave it for a minute, or throw it in the oven for a few minutes. Oven makes it a bit crunchier. Either way, it's good and it's something I ate a lot when I wasn't eating carbs.

Soy bread.

Whole wheat isnt as bad for carbs. I'm a diabetic and they recommend wheat to me for lowing my carb count.

That's true... But it's still too many carbs for the beginning of a low-carb diet.

There are low carb breads out there. And low carb bread mixes, if you feel like making your own... But be careful, as they still offer (probably) more than you can afford at the beginning.
