Here's my opinion on anything like this (ie, carb 0 bread; calorie-less noodles; low-fat butter and cheese): NO.

You're already restricting calories. At least make the ones you eat worth it! Eat less, if you must; but enjoy your food. Seriously.

That *kitten* ain't bread. I'm gonna pass.

Its a simple yes or no answer
I have celiacs and dont care for any of the Gluten Free breads so I just thought I would ask how this one is

No one here is kidding. I've tried it and it is truly disgusting. It really does taste like cardboard.

Grose, glad I asked before I bought it...

On the website it says the ingredients are "a blend of Purified Water, Certified Gluten Free Oat Fiber, Psyllium, Egg White Protein, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, and a pinch of baking soda." Doesn't sound so bad to me!

on Psyllium:

Although the cholesterol-reducing and glycemic-response properties of psyllium-containing foods are fairly well documented, the effect of long-term inclusion of psyllium in the diet has not been determined.

Choking is a hazard if psyllium is taken without adequate water as it thickens in the throat

Yeah, sounds nastee.

Ya Julian Bakery makes it. They sell it at the whole foods store here. It has like 14-20 carbs per slice depending on what kind you choose but almost all of it is Fiber. They are pretty good. I've bought them before. But pricey, so I keep it in the freezer and just pull one piece out at a time and toast it.

Too bad we don't eat with our ears.

This is sad. I wouldn't even call that bread.

The psyllium choking hazard thing is only a risk if you are trying to swallow gobs of the stuff without any water. I used to mix it into a glass of water and it does swell and thicken...you just add more liquid and it's fine.

It's not really a concern when added as an ingredient to a food.

I'm not trying to be mean, but I feel like trying to find fake bread instead of adjusting your diet such that your meals don't need bread is kind of spinning your wheels and prolonging the torture of adjusting to a bread-free life. I understand that it's hard and I really empathize with how tough it must be to eliminate such a staple, but I feel like you would be better off learning how to incorporate rice, or beans, or quinoa, or lettuce wraps in to your meals. Just my opinion, not trying to judge you, feel free to ignore.

I'm just not a fan of fake foods.

My mom has celiac disease, as well as a few other friends and family members. And the purpose of carb-free bread is NOT to accomodate a person with celiac disease....

There are plenty of gluten-free breads that are delicious. I especially like Udi's, and Food for Life. They're not low-carb... but they are gluten-free and they taste good.

There's so much available, just try some of it out, and stay away from the 'zero carb' crap.

Ah, I see. I didn't know what it was, so I googled it.

Your grocery store might have a selection. Low Carb or Carb free doesn't mean gluten free though.

If you're not too worried about the gluten Mama Lupe's makes a very nice low carb wrap.

Here's my opinion on anything like this (ie, carb 0 bread; calorie-less noodles; low-fat butter and cheese): NO.

I find the calorie-free noodles absolutely fine.
Sure, they're not quite as nice as 'real' noodles, but I'd much prefer to have them than not (as I'd do a stir fry without noodles otherwise.)

We eat food for calories to fuel our bodies. Why eat something that won't fuel your body? And why would you not put noodles in a stir fry otherwise?

I haven't tried the Carb 0 bread. I do like the Udi's brand of GF breads, but they are expensive and pretty high in sodium, so I don't have them all that often. Usually, I use corn tortillas and make quesadillas instead of sandwiches. There's also a GF sandwich wrap called Sandwich Petals-- expensive but quite tasty.

I didn't like their Carb 0 or Paleo Bread. I like egg whites but don't want bread to taste like them. Their Smart Carb #2 Cinnamon Raisin is good, though.

We eat food for calories to fuel our bodies. Why eat something that won't fuel your body? And why would you not put noodles in a stir fry otherwise?

Because I got to the point of needing to lose weight thanks to my body enjoying and wanting to eat more food than it requires.
So, when I'm trying to eat at even less, I want to feel as full as possible on as few calories as possible.

If I ate purely to 'fuel my body', I certainly wouldn't have been in the position to want to join this site.
