One of my biggest weaknesses are bread and pasta. I am looking for a low carb version of both. Any suggestions?

    I use Miracle Noodles, they don't taste exactly like regular noodles but I can handle the substitute to still eat pasta. For bread I am not sure but for wraps I use La Tortilla Factory wraps they have a few different low carb high fiber options. Hope this helps

    You can make your own noodles out of zucchini or cucumber. My girlfriend makes a really good lasagna using thin slices zucchini, sliced lengthwise. I have heard of kitchen gizmos that you can buy that will make other shapes of noodles out of your zucchini, too, but i haven't tried them. Spaghetti squash makes good spaghetti noodles.

    Sounds like PROCESSING!

    According to the nonsensical rationale you've posted in other threads, this would make it bad for you.

    Jorgs...I've been substituting iceberg lettuce as my bread for most all sandwichs. And for the pasta, everything is good in moderation, portion control is key, have what you want just keep your amount to the size of your palm.

    believe it or not, i too, have been using lettuce instead of bread...you should hear the crap I get from others. surprisingly, it has been satisfying.
