All the things you like about bread–without all the carbs!
If I’ve heard one major complaint over and over again about the healthy low-carb lifestyle over the years, it has got to be one thing–I COULD NEVER LIVE WITHOUT BREAD! People throw that up in my face as their excuse for NOT livin’ la vida low-carb and yet they fail to realize how incredibly myopic their line of thinking is. Why? Well, if you haven’t noticed it before, there are LOTS of low-carb bread options available on the market today for people who don’t want all the sugar and white flour that comes with traditional breads. So now what’s your excuse?
They’ve still got a few: “Oh, but those breads are so disgusting I could never put that stuff in my mouth! They’re so dry, crumbly, and taste like cardboard, who would ever want to eat it?” I will concede that the low-carb breads that came out a few years back during the whole “low-carb craze” movement that hit America were not exactly something you would desire to consume on any diet, but times have changed for the better now. The bakeries that create quality breads listened to what we wanted in a low-carb bread and have delivered–BIG TIME!
That’s why I’m pleased to introduce to you two new low-carb bread varieties from our friends at Low-Carb Connoisseur. They wanted to provide their customers with the very best-tasting low-carb breads that kept the carb counts low and the quality high. And that’s exactly what they have done with their 7 Grain Low Carb Bread and 7 Grain Cinnamon Raisin Low Carb Bread. You will find it very hard to believe these are actually low-carb.
When I first tasted these fabulous new breads, I had to admit I was skeptical because I’ve had those “other” ones before. But these were just like real bread–IMAGINE THAT–except they didn’t have all the carbs you would normally get from typical breads you see at your local grocery store. And they are chock full of fiber from all the whole grains included in them, too. Regardless of your lifestyle change choice, that’s always a good thing to add to your diet to help you live healthier and better!

Three things specifically stuck out to me about these breads making them unique:
1. The taste, texture, and moistness of these breads was unparalleled among their competition. Like I said, I’ve tried many of these breads over the years and this was by far the best quality low-carb bread I have ever consumed. I could not have been more surprised by this because I thought it would be impossible to make whole grain bread that’s low in carbohydrates actually tasted good. They proved me wrong!
2. All of the ingredients used to make these breads are all-natural. Bran, oats, sesame, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, olive oil, cinnamon, almonds–in other words, it’s REAL FOOD! And they did it all without the use of any artificial sweeteners or flavors of any sort. That’s pretty remarkable in my book.
3. The net carbohydrate counts are genuinely low in carbs. Many of the “low-carb” breads that have come out over the years boasts about being low-carb when in fact they are anything but. However, these carb counts are spectacular–3g net carbs per slice for the Cinnamon Raisin and 2g net carbs per slice for the 7 Grain. This is indeed the real deal for anyone who wants to add some fiber-rich bread back into their low-carb diet.
Enough of my bragging on these low-carb breads, now it’s your turn to tell me what you think about the 7 Grain Low Carb Bread and 7 Grain Cinnamon Raisin Low Carb Bread from Low-Carb Connoisseur. The store’s owner Elaine Payne is just down the road from me here in South Carolina and I know she’ll take good care of you and your low-carb purchasing needs. And check this out–they even have some 7 Grain Low Carb Dinner Rolls, too, with just 2g net carbs per roll! AWESOME! Let me know what you think about these amazing breads. ENJOY!
