Katie I totally think your "thought process" is right in the real world, but whether or not LAWL sees it that way... who knows.

Cassi - that wasn't the answer I wanted.....damn the online dietician. Guess the birds will be happy later on.

Katie - thanks for the info...I need to reread that about 10 times and it will sink in.

Healthy Life Bread
 

I found this Healthy Life Bread that has 35 calories per slice and only 5 net carbs. I took it upon myself to count two slices as one starch. I submitted this to the Dietitian but have not heard back yet. Here is the link in case you want to take a look.

How do you email the dietician?
Tammie

Wow, Bermuda Slim, thanks for the info. I would definitely use 2 slices as one starch. It is not sold in my area (that is what I get for living in the boonies), but I emailed to find out if it is possible to order it direct. Thanks again for the info!

Hey Bermuda Slim,

Please let me know what you hear from the dietician. I have used this bread before. It’s not awesome but definitely not bad. (Bread is not my favorite thing so it doesn’t have to be perfect.)

My family will eat this and not complain.

I buy it at the Wal Mart supercenter in Missouri.

Tammie - you have to belong to LAWL online to e-mail the dietician direct...or give it to your center to pass on to the dietician for you.

Thanks Bermuda Slim! I actually just bought some of this bread last night! Please let me know what you find out from the dietician.

Thanks again!

Finally Heard from Dietition re Healthy Life Bread
 

Here is the response:

In general, we recommend counting 1 slice of bread as 1 Starch exchange as we encourage portion control on the program. However, you can have 2 slices of the bread listed below as 1 Starch. Please use this in moderation and monitor your weight with its use. Let us know if you have further questions.



We wish you continued success with your program.



Sincerely,

The Nutrition Department

I have used this bread before but not the natures own. I know if I asked my COD about this they would act like I have 3 eyes or something so I think I might try this out before I say anything to them and see how I do. Thanks for all the info ladies!!!

Thanks for posting. I use this bread fairly regularly. I will stick with one piece of bread for now but know that I can have two if I "need" them.

I appreciate you getting back to us.
