Years ago I met a doctor who was over the top about carbs and managing leptin resistance in the body as weight management tools. He snacked nonstop on things like herrings in olive oil and nuts. He was thin as a twig.
A key way to keeping your weight down is by limiting carbs, which is virtually impossible if you eat bread. The doctor told us about Heavenly Manna Bread, SmartCarb1, and SmartCarb2 bread made by the Julian Bakery in La Jolla, CA. This stuff is chock full of proteins and carbs, tastes great, and only has 1 net carb per piece in the plain bread. There are 2 net carbs in the cinnamon, raisin almond bread. If you knew how persnickety I am about food, you would believe me when I tell you it is yummy!
The bakery recently changed their formula and made slices thinner, probably to reduce the calories per slice. I liked the old formula and size better, but it is still a terrific way to keep bread in your diet. I think it tastes best toasted.
You can order it online and have it shipped to you, but some small natural grocers and a few #Whole Foods carry it, too.
