8 Best Bread Alternatives For Diabetics

The Ezekiel bread is good and diabetic friendly

For those of us that love bread but not the carbs there is good news. If you live near a Kroger there is a bread made by Lewis Bakeries that they sell is low carb. There is the regular bread (white, wheat, honey wheat) that is 5-7 carbs per slice depending on the kind you get. They also have hamburger and hot dog buns. It is about $2.00 a loaf. Now Lewis has introduced a 0 carb version. Also with hamburger and hot dog buns. You will pay more at $5.00 a loaf but at least we now have a choice. The breads are fresh and there is no difference in taste from the high carb breads. Wth that said, we can now have a ham sandwich with swiss cheese, lettuce, and mayo or mustard for less than ONE card per sandwich. Right now I can only find this bread at Kroger but I am sure it can be found at many grocers across the country.

My husband and I have cut all but 11 carbs per day! Was it easy???? No! But if you’re serious about your diabetes, you CAN do it! I haven’t eaten bread/pasta etc in almost a year. Do I miss it??? NO! Of course I did at first, but if you’re determined and stick with it, you’ll get to where you don’t! And, I was a vegetarian, I still despise meat, I used to eat nothing but pasta, bread, etc. But, I like not having to take insulin 4 times a day!!! We cook everything we eat, we don’t do fast foods. If we eat out we choose a restaurant where we can pick healthy choices. My husband lost a leg because of diabetes. If that isn’t a wake up call, I don’t know what is! It’s mind over matter! Really, it is! You do NOT NEED bread to survive! It’s not air! I don’t know where everyone lives, but if you’re in TEXAS and have a Braum’s Ice Cream (I know, I know…the irony) nearby, they sell a low carb bread that comes to only 4 carbs per slice. I think it’s called Carb Watch. If you have to have bread, it’s a good choice. I wish they sold it in grocery stores. My husband allows him self a slice for toast every now and then. But he knows that’s 4 g of carbs he has to do without for the rest of the day. Yes, I’m the carb police, but he’s not losing another limb on my watch!!! Nor am I! ♥️

@The SeasonedTeacher keto and company fudge brownies. I add a half of a cup of sugar free peanut butter. The other items are Aunt Millies. Very good products!!!

I disagree with your first two items but loved the rest of the alternatives on your list. So, I did give your video a thumbs up. I never even thought of using eggplants as a rollup. That sounds good. I love eggplants. I do have to disagree with your first two items on the list though. Whole Wheat that is bought in the store is heavily processed and therefore the germ has been killed and has no health benefits at all but yet still too high in carbs. Ezekiel Bread back in Biblical days was good because all of the wheat was ground by hand right before being used to make bread. The Ezekiel Bread sold in stores is processed long before it is made and consumed and it also has added Wheat Gluten which means that it is not good and will likely raise a person’s glucose level. Like I said though, I love the rest of the alternatives on your list and you did give me new ideas. Thank you.

Flaxseed meal with hot water blended to a dough consistency make a great low carb tortilla. It can be flavoured with cinnamon rolled very thinly and baked to a crispy texture. Then broken into small pieces and used as a cereal with homemade almond milk. Tastes great.

Not sure about Ezekiel bread, but I’ve tried the whole wheat wraps with negative results. I try to stay away from foods made with grains; like, wheat (bread), rice, and corn. I have much better results with keeping my blood sugars lower.

If you are diabetic, it’s best to avoid the whole grain wraps and the Ezekiel bread. The carbohydrate content of the wraps, while lowish compared with ordinary white bread, is still too high. Without extra insulin, your blood sugar will go way above the normal range. The Ezekiel bread still contains too many carbs. Both foods do contain vitamins, etc, but you first aim is to normalize your blood sugars within the normal range (75 – 108 US units; 4.2 – 6.0 European units). Many doctors are soft with high blood sugars; get a straight talking one.

P p p ppl

Thank you for sharing your story. This is a wake up call for me!

Wow! Just those TWO ingredients? The Flaxseed meal & hot water???

We use slices of cheese instead of bread when we make sándwiches! Works great. Of course you can make burgers, sandwiches, etc. using lettuce leafs. Iceburgers are actually better than a regular burger on a bun. A large leaf, mayo or the spread of your choice, a second leaf with the meat, cheese, tomato, onion, pickles whatever you eat on a burger place the leafs together, tuck the edges under and dig in. I love making mine with bacon, mushrooms and Swiss plus onion and tomato…sooooo yummy!

@Devi Mathura just eat beef, salt and water, that it, you don’ tneed any of the other crap. Just try it for 3 months…see how you doing….your going to be amazed. Just think no spending 2hrs prepping and cooking food. Just toss a hamburger in the pan, cook a steak on the grill…say u can’t afford get all beef hotdogs….Collogen and chromium and magnesium are the nutrition block to lowering and getting rid of diabetes. Veggie have chromium but it is locked in the fiber so the body gets very little of it, but beef has good amounts as well. Oh did i mention make the cuts of meat very fatty….that where the collegon is, in the fat connection tissues…the grissle. Good luck it not hard just need to get in a different headspace then what the government been teaching. Look up Dr. Ken Berry on youtube, heck just type carnivore in youtube see what the doctors are talking about.

My almond flour bread came out perfect and delicious. I like to add fennel seeds and chopped Pereskia leaves tô the dough.

@Lisa Thompson But isn’t it harmful to our liver if we’re just eating meat? Do you eat a lot of veggies too? How about heart issues?

Portobello mushrooms as a burger bun is genius! I’ve been on the Keto diet for around a year, not for diabetes just to lose weight. Thanks for the tip I love mushrooms, and I love burgers so I can’t wait to try it, making Fat Head dough all the time can be a real chore.

Recipe pleeeease

@dreamcrone I know you mean well but please remember, you can’t expect folk from other countries eg here in the UK to know that American brands? I’d prefer to know a low carb British brand .We have our own brand names of stuff, as does most countries .

Thanks, but not paying $56.95 for a loaf, not to affordability, rather to many ppl in the world not being able to afford food, milk from their children. It’s happening here in the USA. Heartland. America us not only East and West coast. I watched documentaries that broke my heart. West VA, not even having water running.

If you study the history of the milling and making of bread, you will find that modern milling and baking are not the same as traditionally bread making. You are right about white flour. You did not go far enough to mention the added chemicals to mass produced bread bought in stores. In my childhood you bought bread in the store and in a week it started to mold. Now, a loaf sits on top of my frig and never molds. I bake my own sourdough bread with half white unbleached flour and whole wheat flour. Also, bread is gluten and there is nothing wrong with it. Low Carb thinking is madness. Go whole foods plant based.

Ezekiel breadbis awesome.

im diabetic and i stopped eating bread when i did keto diet, however i started feeling horrible, tried to find another diet which is agoge and it helped me still eat the thing that i want with their personalized diet 🙂

Ezekiel bread is found in the freezer case and is delicious when toasted. It runs about $5-6 for a small loaf that are thin sliced. I keep it in the freezer then toast it.
Aldi also carries a similar sprouted loaf that I also love.

@Dawn What,s the name of the bread you buy at Aldi?

Thank you! ❤️
