Thanks for the tips everyone! I'll definitely look into the suggestions you've made.

I've actually created a "low carb" document where I add foods and brands of foods that people recommend in this message forum. It's difficult to remember a post that you read a week ago, so this document will help me remember some of the "goodies" when I'm writing down my grocery list.

I have tons of the atkins sour dough (tastes like white bread ) bread, but it tastes horrible unless you toast it and put a lot of toppings on it.

I just bought a loaf of the Nature's Own Low Carb (5 grms per slice) bread for $1.88 at Wal-Mart, but I haven't had the guts to try it yet. When I do I'll post back my opinion.

freckles,

Great! You can be my guniea pig. Just kidding. I'll be on the look out for your opinion.

Thanks

I like the natures own. Now that I haven't had bread in quite awhile I like this kind. Tastes best toasted with butter..but makes a good sandwich. Is soft texture.

I have checked several recipes and have found some lc bread machine recipes that I like. Just takes some time to mix up.

I had no idea that Adkins made bread (sliced loaf) for sale in supermarkets. I ran across it yesterday in the freezer section. It is SO good....expensive (4.50 +), but I was startled at how good it is. The slices are small; the size of those slices of nasty Wonder "low fat" bread----I KNOW ya'll have tried that stuff! BUT, it is quite heavy and moist. I made an egg salad sandwich. They sell "white" and "rye".

Anyone else tried it?

I had a philly steak sandwich and cooked greens for dinner last night. It was yummy. My grocery store is carrying more Atkins products.

i bought a loaf of the white and stuck it in my freezer. i'm looking forward to trying it out and making french toast with it or having a tuna sandwich - yum! just can't stomach the french toast with pork rinds...

i bought a loaf of the white bread quite some time ago and i HATED it when i tried it as toast w/butter....however, recently i tried it again and liked it. I toast it and put tuna salad on it and it is really quite good. i just don't care for it plain, i have to "doctor" it a little. it's good to use when i'm in the mood for bread.

I'm looking forward to trying the bake mix and making some muffins, as i used to only have something light for breakfast like toast and hot tea.

i hope the supermarkets start carrying more atkins products soon! so far i've only found the shakes, advantage bars, and candy bars here. although the healthfood store nearby carries the bread and a few mixes.

Hug a Doula!

Does anyone know where to buy it in Michigan (for me) or Florida (for my mom) . I have never seen it . Krogers has the Atkins bake mix,shakes,bars,and syrup. But no bread. Do they only sell it at the health food stores in Michigan? Please, I want some.... Thanks, Cindy

several brands(atkins,keto,carb sense) make bread mixes to use in your bread machine too.
the atkins and another brand(cant remember) are kept in the freezer section with the healthier food. They are carried at safeway,top foods, fred myer ect.

Atkins used to sell the Katogenics before they had their own brand. Now I think Atkins has their own box with the Ketogenics stuff inside.

The Ketogenics Honey Wheat bread is the best. One slice out of the machine with a little softened butter makes a meal. I do only the mixes, but I have lost my taste for bread a while now, so I suppose when I have another bread attack that I can throw some in the machine.

I actually think it's pretty damn gross.

The reason grocery stores begin to carry Atkins or any other product is people ask for it and it sells. Request the bread at the store and the will carry it,eventually.

Yuck! I bought La Tortilla Factory tortillas after reading posts here, and DANG! They have the taste and texture of cardboard!
I even fried one in butter and topped it with cheese, salsa and sour cream and I could still tell I was eating packing material!!! Are we sooo desperate for bread placements that we are willing to overlook this? I tried the 4 carb bread from Trader Joes, too, and that had the wonderful texture of a wet kitchen sponge. Into the garbage THAT went! I think I will stick with my Wasa crackers and occasional slice of California Complete Protein Bread at 8 grams a slice. No more experiments with FrankenBread!!!

If anyone has actually found ANYTHING that tastes decent? I am starting to believe that once in a while I will have to have a regular corn tortilla to make a tostada!!!
