Morrisons Wholemeal Protein Bread, 400g

Product Information

Most of us love bread and with so many different types of bread on the market, what are the best bread for those trying to keep blood sugar levels lower and stabilised with gestational diabetes?

If you really want to make a success of low carb I'd heartily suggest avoiding "low carb" substitues and instead just eat single ingredient foods cooked fresh. One serving contains a full 27 grams of protein and only 6 grams of carbs, which is significantly less than regular pasta. Items highlighted in Redcan be eaten, but with caution due to the high carb amounts and/or white flour which covert to glucose much faster than wholegrain/wholewheat alternatives Product

Choosing a low carb lifestyle can feel restricting, That’s why we created bread that puts health and wellbeing first, so you don’t have to banish the food you love. With added flavour from brown linseeds you’ll feel fuller longer with boosted energy levels.

All bread needs to be ‘paired’ (eaten with) with additional protein and good fats to make it more tolerable, so it does not cause a high spike in blood sugars. Avoid eating any bread with just butter as this will not be enough to slow down the release of glucose. freezing and defrosting, toasting from fresh, and toasting following freezing and defrosting, favourably altered the glucose response of the breads. ​1​ The impact of freezing and toasting on the glycaemic response of white bread

I’m preparing to do low carb as soon as Trulicity wears off, but I wondered where is the best place to find low carb alternatives? Mainly I want low carb wraps and bread, but I’ve been to morrisons and not found a great deal.

In this table below I have compared many of main brand larger tortilla wraps so you can find ones which are lower in carbs and higher in protein and fat. Please note the nutritional information shared below is per wrapand wrap sizes can vary. I have only compared larger sized wraps, not mini versions:

Hovis make a couple of lower carb breads which are much better than their regular wholemeal or seeded breads. In the Wholemeal version there is 9.8g carbs, 5.8g protein and 1.3g fat per large slice which is great if you are not keen on seeded breads.
