    @solska did you get to try the Carbonaut bread? Not too shabby, eh? It takes me around 3 weeks to eat a loaf (I keep the slices frozen til I need a couple) so although it's pricey, it works out fairly cheap in the long run.

    Hi @canadjineh ! I was working like crazy and wasn't on here the past couple of weeks so just seeing it. But oh my god. Yes. This bread is a dream. I tried a couple of other new "keto" breads around since and they hurt my stomach. Yes, I do wish it was cheaper but I agree that I use it less anyways and the ingredients are good quality nutrition. It doesn't brown the best but still makes a wonderful grilled cheese!

    We also liked the Julian Bakery Paleo-Thin Wraps (even my hubby who is not low carb or needing to be gluten free.) You can get those at Whole Foods too. DEFINITELY NOT CHEAP. But they hold together really well and just take a 15 second warming on a paper towel in the microwave before you fill them. Here's a pic of the package:

    Thank you! I will look for these as well. I tried the egg cauliflower thins and disliked them strongly. And the La Banderita or Mission low carb ones, I just don't feel they are exactly low carb. I like tortillas for a quick pizza.

    I have also tried Oroweat Keto bread, and Healthy Noodles from Costco. The noodles are the best lowcarb noodles I have ever had so far. The bread makes good toast and grilled cheese but not sure about ingredients or how I felt after.
    Wondering if anyone had these and measured their blood glucose after?

    I'm not the person you asked, but some people avoid soy because it can affect hormone levels, specifically estrogen.

    That is a myth that just won't die.

    There is some evidence that large amounts of soy can induce early puberty, so it's not a myth. If you're eating very large amounts of soy (making up a very large percentage of your calories) it can have some influence on your health.

    I would be MUCH more concerned about the hormones in milk, fast food meats etc. than soy.

    And no. The soy you eat does not really raise hormone levels. It has phytoestrogens, as do many vegetables and grains. https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/focus-on-phytoestrogens

    I aim for soy phytoestrogens.

    If you have concerns about soy, you should probably avoid any and all prepared foods of all kinds, because it's everywhere.

    I'm sure this myth has money behind it, but yes, I wish it could just die.
