Low GI bread - DAFNE Online

Hi Joan29
Low GI does not necessarily mean low carbs so you need to check. Low GI usually means a more complex type of carbs that take longer to digest sometimes because of a higher fibre content. Without looking at packet, eg if eating out, my standard is bread is 40% carbs by weight, therefore if you can weight the bread then times 40% to give you the carb content you will be pretty close. Carbs are carbs whichever way you look at it.
Cheers
David

Try Livlife bread. 3.8 g / slice tastes good too. Online from Waitrose/Ocacdo or http://www.livlifefoods.co.uk

In most supermarkets they sell Burgen linseed bread, it's low GI from what I'm told and it's 11g a slice. It's really nice.
