"Carb Krunchers" says it all. The fact that they can't spell "calcium," used the letter O for a zero in one place, and don't know how to abbreviate "ounces" suggests they're fly-by-night.

Nice Lori! Are there any credible companies out there if we can't make it ourselves?

So, you want to know what the best low carb bread for your health is? The kind that's uneaten. Stay away from grains and all grain processed products folks. No matter how they label and market them.

A true low-carb 'bread shouldn't contain much more than (non-peanut) nut butters, eggs, water, or nut flours. Did they even list their ingredients?

The best "low-carb" bread recipe I've found, which I haven't seen mentioned here before. Mostly macadamia, coconut and eggs.

Don't trust the companies no more.It's all business in the end.That's why the likes of Julian Bakery are getting away with it every single day.

Same with Sami's Bakery in Tampa FL. I loved their Pita Chips, which had very low carbs. Recently I went to order again, and the nutritional info is missing FROM THE SITE! I emailed about it. No response. Then I ordered the bread I like, and asked them to EMAIL OR CALL ME before including the chips, WITH THE CARB NUMBER. You can guess....they sent the chips without calling or emailing, and the CARB COUNT ON THE PACKAGE IS FIVE TIMES AS MUCH!

Hello Dietdoctor

I just want to know if there is a low-carb bread recipe similar to the oopsie recipe?

I've found this zero carb recipe on the internet. I just want to know if it's save to eat it

Zero Carb Flax Bread
Ingredients
2 cups flax seed
5 egg whites
2 whole eggs
5 tablespoons flax oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
3 packets Stevia
Directions
Mix all dry ingredients then add the wet. Whisk together and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. This recipe can also be made into muffins: divide batter into muffin pans and bake for about 10-15 minutes.
A sweet chocolate bread can be made by adding Capella Flavor Drops. Some other awesome additions are pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and protein powder flavor of choice. Great topped with almond or peanut butter!
Nutrition info per serving (1 serving/1 slice)
145 cal, 11 g fat, less than 1 g carbs, 6.5g protein
Yes, heavy on the cals in my opinion (but it’s coming from the flax seed). If you want less than a carb per slice, here’s your answer!

I have a NO-BS product for all of you!
http://www.brancrispbread.com I have been snacking on this for 10 years or so. It says bread... it's not. In my opinion it's glorified cardboard BUT - put some farmer's cheese or ham on it and it good.
Super crunchy! Completely flavorless. Sounds like i'm making fun of it or being sarcastic (I am) but i DO RECOMMEND trying this! Cheap and when you taste it you know they can not be faking it on the nutrition label!

Where is the proof to back up what you are saying. What are you basing this on ? All I see is an accusation with no basis or support to explain why. I used carb krunchers bagels and bread when I was on atkins a few years back. I ate eggs on their everything bagel nearly every day, with cheese on it, and used their bread for sandwiches, tuna, chicken salad, etc. Inside of a 8 days, I lost 7 pounds, no joke. If they were truly not low carb, this would not happen. I know, I have tried my share of low carb products. One product I am disappointed in is Dreamfields
Pasta, though it tastes good and the quality is good, it is not as low in carb as originally claimed and I notice they change their packaging. It is lower glycemic, but doing atkins and testing for ketone fat burn, it would slow down considerably after eating it, but not when I ate carb krunchers products. So let's see some science to back up your accusations, what say ?

I tried to edit my comment but it didn't work. I had not realized there was a video, I just read what was written, but having seen the video, I can't help but wonder if the products changed or were bought out by another company. There used to be an address, name and contact number on the package and I actually talked to the company back then. This was 6 years ago, but i have purchased them since then, about a year and a half ago. I didn't notice any changes. Keep in mind, those tests only show total carbs, fiber must be deducted from the total carbs to get the net "usable" carb number. Back then I used to give them to my Dad also who was diabetic and there was no spike in his sugar.

Fiberless carbs (and those without any organic acids) shoot up your insulin to the roof. High amount of fibers makes you constipated. What is better: avoiding these two altogether or playing a game of carbs and fibers with questionable outcome?
Before anybody asks, some nuts, sauerkraut, very dark chocolate and fruits supply well enough fibers to gut bacteria. Not to mention animal fibers, including your own mucin. There is no need to add anything on top when you are on high quality LCHF food. No constipation at all, especially if you can also forget about red wine...

The best I have found is the Soul Bread recipe. My hubby and kids love it and they are not following the LCHF lifestyle. You can find the recipe on Pinterest and I'm sure if you search Google.

Thanks so much, Florinda, for this recipe. I make 'raw' flax crackers all the time in my Excalibur dehydrator. This is actually 'bready'. For a change of pace try adding 1/4 cup plain cocoa powder and up the stevia one or two packs. Oh, yum!!
