Version 1.0

This book has been compiled with the assistance of hundreds of brand-name manufacturers. Other sources are listed .

You wont be using this section of the book during the induction phase of a low-carb diet, but later stages allow wholemeal and multigrain breads, rolls and wholewheat pitta bread. Rye, pumpernickel and sourdough breads are all easier on your blood sugar level than standard white or wheatgerm, but read the labels to make sure they dont contain added white flour or sugar. As you know in your heart of hearts, cakes, pies, tarts and muffins have no place on a weight-loss diet, but we all need occasional treats. Just read the labels to make sure they dont contain trans fats, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils see .

TIP: The following listings give values for a medium-cut slice of bread weighing about 30g. Many packaged loaves will give the nutritional information per slice, but if they give a value per serving, this probably means per two slices.
