South Beach Diet - Sourdough Bread?

I was looking through the SB holiday recipes and noticed that one of them uses Sourdough Bread. I'm not sure if it's allowed on SB, so I decided to be nosy on google and see what I could find. I read online that Sourdough Bread may be just as effective at controlling blood sugar as whole wheat:

I'm not diabetic, but one of the reasons that I started SB was to keep the refined carbs out of my diet.

So, what's your take, yay or nay? I LOVE Sourdough bread and would love to be able to include it.

Supposedly the acid in the bread slows the digestion of it, making it a low GI food. I don't use it as I like to have more fiber in my bread than sourdough breads have.

Sourdough bread is fine in Phase 2, so go ahead and enjoy. :) Just remember portion control, though!

Yup, it's allowed, Greeneyed. I use it when I'm making something that it just seems wouldn't work well with WW bread, though I try to make it a fairly rare part of my diet because it's easy to OD on it. :devil:

It works exceptionally well in that stuffing recipe, though. The acidity in the sourdough against the sweetness of the pears and the spices in the turkey sausage is delish! :T

Reading this post made me want sourdough bread - bad I know. So, I prepared teh starter tonight and in a few days I will be able to make it myself. And hopefully find some people to share it with - maybe for a staff meeting!
