bread machines

[Guest guest]

Hi Meniowl,

I have a bread machine and use it all the time, I dont buy bread. There

are 3 non-diabetics in my family, and they eat the bread I make. I limit

myself to one slice a day, at breakfast time, usually as toast, sometimes

just bread with a bit of lite peanut butter on it - enough to see and taste

it! I would not give up my bread machine for anything. I now see my one

measly lonely slice of bread as a treat - it's as good as it gets for me,

who tries to low-carb. I dont care about potatoes or rice but I do love

pasta and it bugs the hell out of me to not be able to have pizza or

spaghetti etc. But I do have my one slice of bread, and it doesnt bother

me at all. I walk (almost) every morning and my bg levels are in the

normal range just about all of the time. Maybe you could try one slice a

day and see how it affects you. It's a shame to deny yourself the

wonderful breads you can create with your ABM. Grocery store bread doesnt

interest me at all - I call it Kleenex bread - thin and tasteless!

Hi Susie!

Boy, I sure can relate to this. The first time I went grocery shopping after

dx I literally cried. Too many isles of can't have this and can't have that

anymore. I really lost it in the bread isle. I would buy 3-5 loaves of

bread at a time, plus I have a bread machine that made divine bread too.

Just call me a bread-a-holic. I came home sooooo depressed. It's somewhat

better now, but I still can't use that bread machine. : (
