IP Bread?
Does anyone know if something like this would be approved? It's bread called Net Carb 0 http://www.julianbakery.com/bread-pr...bzero-regular/
|
Simple answer. Look at the phase 1 sheet.
|
Right - if it's not on the sheet and isn't 0/0/0 then it's not IP compatible.
|
Thanks guys, I am craving bread fierce!

I have never used this bread but someone posted this link -- you'll see the guy uses the Julian bread to scrub walls, toilets etc. then just wrings it out like a sponge and it's in perfect shape - never crumbles! So I think that makes it a definite NO -- there's no carbs because it isn't food. This video is worth a look. You won't believe what people are eating!

About 3/4 of the way down on this page. This solves it for me, I make them every weekend and throw homemade sausage with veggie cheese on them.

Simple answer again: bars are allowed on IP, bread isn't. The bread wouldn't count as a protein (as some of the packet-hack flatbread and rolls do AND Quest Bars do) and it is not 0/0/0 because it contains fat so isn't a P1 compliant addition. Comparing the bread to quest bars is apples to oranges |

My question wasn't the one you answered actually answered though. The article posted, if I understand it correctly, says that subtracting fiber from carbs to reach net carbs is rubbish. That higher carbs still cause blood sugar spikes even though they are fiber based carbs, and this is just a marketing based ploys by companies to promote their product to low-carbers. This is the concern I had, and wanted to know if any of the scientists here think this claim is valid. |
Here's a "bread" recipe a friend shared with me.
He's lost 100+ on IP. I have yet to try the bread, but he swears it's great. -------------------------------------------------- "Faux-caccia" Bread IDEAL PROTEIN FAUX CACCIA BREAD STICKS. SO EASY!! Blend 1 package Ideal Protein Tomato Basil soup, 1 t olive oil, 2 egg whites, 1/4 t baking powder, Italian seasoning, oregano, basil. Roll out onto a pan flat and season with sea salt and garlic salt. Cook for 10 minutes on each side at 350. ----------------------------------------------- His notes: It tastes just like tomato focaccia. Makes a great open faced sandwich. Very tasty and a nice bread substitute. It could be done with many of the Ideal Protein soup mixes. Enjoy! Also, I’ve never been able to get this dough to “roll out”. I usually just add slightly more egg whites to make a thick batter that I spread on a non-stick skillet and place in the oven. If you spread it thin, it will bake to a cracker like consistency. |

The difference is that simple sugars and starches cause a FAST insulin reaction while fiber causes a very slow, controlled reaction. Fast acting carbs are the reason we experience "sugar crash" or "carb crash" after eating them - insulin spikes up high to deal with the sudden flood to our system, which causes a sudden drop in blood glucose levels and hypoglycemic symptoms. THAT makes you hungry, fatigued, dizzy, irritable...all things that can lead you to eat MORE. Fiber is slow-acting, and does not cause the dramatic insulin spike that fast acting carbs do. Your body doesn't have to "flood" your system to deal with a sudden onslaught of sugar. I would however say that sugar alcohols are used by the food industry to market "low carb" foods that really aren't preventing that insulin spike after all. Many sugar alcohols have an effect on blood sugar levels very similar to fast acting carbs. Even the American Diabetes Association suggests that those following an advanced insulin protocol only subtract HALF the sugar alcohols from total carbs. Quest bars reduce carbs primarily by using a plant fiber (Oligosaccharides), not sugar alcohols. I have never subtracted sugar alcohols from total carbs because of the similarities to fast carbs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligosaccharide http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-...efine-net.html http://women.webmd.com/features/net-carb-debate |

animallover -
The other thing you may want to try are Rutabaga "fries." I was reluctant to try them; however, I'm addicted now. Just peel, slice them into french fry size pieces and toss with whatever you'd like. Salt, pepper, a little olive oil, cayenne, etc. Then place in the oven (425 degrees) for 35-45 mins. They are divine (I use sugar-free ketchup, but I know WF has a ketchup, too) and I realized it replaced my need for "starchy" type foods. |
Rainbow has flatbread, breadsticks, and a new cracker "packet-hack" recipes in her recipes from the rainbow threads. I posted my muffin/potato roll recipe in recipes #4

Fiber provides calories only to animals that can digest it. Humans cannot. It does not cause insulin spikes in humans, because none of carbohydrates from fiber can be utilized. Fiber leaves our bodies fully intact calorically because our bodies can't break it down. For cows, fiber calories count. For humans they do not. In the USA manufacturer's are allowed to subtract fiber calories for this reason, but many, if not most don't. Sadly, the only way to know whether or not the fiber calories are included in the label's total is to recheck the label math. Since the counts can be rounded up or down, this doesn't always help. |
I listened to a great podcast recently on how different mammals ( including us) use different parts of food differently.
Grasses & fiber that would just pass through our system Undigested is turned into fatty acids in cows and gorillas (differently) It was fascinating and rally supported low carb or paleo/primal eating |

Biscuits
I made IP biscuits this morning with the IP Oatmeal.
2 packets of IP Oatmeal 1 -2 oz. of water 1 lg egg white 1 tsp. of baking powder (Seasonings of your choice) I beat the egg white, stir in the oatmeal and baking powder, slowly add water until its slightly scoopable, not runny.. I made 8 biscuits on a greased cookie sheet and baked at 400 degrees for about 10 min or golden.. You can only have 4 of the 8 biscuits a day for your restricted food.. but they turned out great! I am having them with my Big Mac in a bowl tonight... :carrot: |
