I found the Wonder Lite White Bread at Walmart. I bought it. Just got home
and tried a slice. It has the good ole white bread look and texture but
still has a hint of fake...haha. All in all, pretty good though. Advertises
9g of carbs. Actually has 18 with various subtractions but is still low for
bread.

P.S. Could use some more stores added to the products on the website. Almost
all I have so far are in the southeast.

Publix also have their own brand of low-carb breads. The Net Carb count
is on the package. I only subtract the gms of fiber from the gross carb
count. Also, watch out with the breads. I notice some have their
statistics for a 2-slice serving, while others are for a 1-slice
serving. Publix also had Dreamfields pasta yesterday. I have bought a
box, and see if hubby can eat it without playing havoc with his Blood Sugar.

Incidentally do you have the Arizona Carb Free Teas on your list?? Jim
really likes the No-Carb Green Tea, with Ginseng, and has the flavored
ones for variety. Can be found everywhere; Publix, Walmart, Winn Dixie,
Walgreens Military Commissaries.

We will be leaving Florida May 12th for five months. First stop, Wright
Patterson AFB, Ohio. Then travelling to the north-east. I shall keep my
eyes open for you, and send names of stores where I find low-carb goodies.

Thanks Cheri,

Of course that is six weeks away, and anything can happen in between now
and then. We got delayed last year when I had to have a basal cell
cancer taken off my face. The penalties of being 70 AND living in
Florida! LOL

Gill Murray was thinking very hard :
> Dreamfields pasta

Be careful with that Dreamfields. For me, it sent me up steadily for
hours. So, you might want to check after more than 2 hours if that's
your typical checkpoint. I do much better with any whole wheat pasta
and a small portion.

I haven't seen the Publix brand bread. I'll look. Thanks for the tip on
servings. I haven't listed any pastas since they are all over 10 grams.
Also, haven't listed most drinks.

Really appreciate the imput.

After several days of the Wonder Lite White Bread - I won't buy it again -
phoney taste, toasts badly.... to me, you may find it fine. I'm still using
the Peppridge Farm Carb Style - pretty decent.

I did say that I cannot stand Wonder bread. However being raised in UK,
there is bread (real) and bread( US). I am so glad I am no longer in
Spain. Thebread man came around the part of town where we lived (
non-American) three times a day. Was that fresh and crusty!! ( Wiping
off the drool).

lol..... yep. I didn't know I liked bread so much till now. I was never big
on healthy bread though.... I liked good old fluffy white bread, you know,
the kind kids on TV commercials encourage us to eat.

When I was a kid sliced bread was a rarity. They made crusty
loaves with an indentation in the middle so you could break
it apart and sell 1/2 a loaf. I loved that first middle
slice after the break, when fresh, crusty and thick. I used
to smother it with butter and Vegemite. The rest of the loaf
I couldn't have cared less about. Bread back then actually
tasted good.

My favorite saying ,Oz, everything tasted better "back then"....lol.
I've smoked so long my taste buds are fried. When somebody says, "Ummm,
that's good." I go, "uh, mmm, yeah, sure is" and just trust em.
