German RYE BREAD

[gasp1]

Due to nature of my job i a lot of time have to take packed lunch, I am getting abit bored with salad and eggs etc, I have been having a discussion with a work colleague who has similar condition to my MVA who has suggested trying the German ryebread that you can purchase in Aldi, I think the type he is referring to is the dense type bread that is in vacuum pack, He has said that one slice will make a filling sandwich which will fill him up majority of the day.

Has anyone had any experience of this bread and is it something that i could use on keto style diet.

Many thanks in advance.

I’ve eaten this bread. It’s certainly an acquired taste 😬 Perhaps your colleague can let you try a slice. It’s still carbs, so you would need to keep that in mind.

The DietDoctor and YouTube have recipes are for breads that don’t use grains but seeds and egg and things like psyllium husks, flax or xantham gum. This week there was even a courgette/ zucchini loaf, which looked interesting.

I think i will struggle to get any off him He s a Yorkshire man! lol will have to look on you tube always forget about researching on there. Been told about something called cloud bread which i need to research as well.

I have never eaten a lot of bread anyway and apparently the rye bread you can cut in half and it makes filling butty which will cut carbs down the research continues

This Aldi style of bread is a wide loaf, so yes you can get a butty from one slice. The taste is sour and nutty. Nothing like a traditional English wholemeal loaf. Not as dark as Swedish bread.

I tried this low carb bread recipe, it wasn’t bad. I didn’t have almond flour- I used ground almonds. Next time I will bake longer as centers were a bit soggy.

Gasp I wondered if you would find this useful, there are lots of ideas for lunches you could take to work 😊

Ooh I’d forgotten that pinned list - thank you 😊

[gasp1 in reply to lucigret]

thank you for this i will take a look at it, it looks like some good tasty ideas on there. Like the omelette wrap idea just wish i could cook of omelettes they turn into scrambled egg

[lucigret in reply to gasp1]

To make the wrap, I whisked up 2 eggs on there own, heat a frying pan with a little olive oil, pour in the egg and just tip the frying pan around until it covers the base leave it on the heat for a few minutes to let it set, either flip it over or put it under the grill to cook the other side. No scrambled eggs

I've made a wrap out of a large slice of ham before now Didnt have any success with substitutes eg cloud bread. seem a lot of faff for something not really like bread. So I began to think, it's not the bread that makes you feel full, it's the fats, the bread is just a handy way of picking it up - whatever was planned for the filling, have plenty of it and eat with a knife and fork? Have you tried making quiche without the pastry in a silicone pie dish?

You can also add some oat bran (or possibly any other brand, but I have only used oat bran) to a thin omelette which makes a nice wrap too.

But you would need to check carbs. I have none in at the moment and can't for the life of me remember how many carbs are in oat bran. I got the idea from a Dukan (is that right, the French diet craze bloke from long ago?) so I don't think it will be high in carbs

Couple of sausages? sliced in a cup with a dab of mayonnaise , followed by a crunchy red Gala apple, or a chunk of cheese with celery, or a coleslaw with sliced / chopped ham or round to the local indian/chinese for a sit down lunch? Arrive back feeling rested.

I have used it, but don't eat it often, I have to admit because it isn't exactly carb free. But it freezes beatifully so you can keep it in stock.

It is a completely different beast to wholemeal bread and I think I am right in saying that there are actually 2 types of it in Aldi. The flour used is rye flour and this one that I have in the freezer also has wholegrain rye too. The other one that they do does not have any whole rain in it.

The taste is very nutty, I love it, personally, Michael Mosley recommended it in his 800 diet.

I have a pack here now, each slice is 165 cals, 32.1g carbs sugars being 2.3g, fibre 8.3g, protein 3.5g

It does tend to break up a bit on eating as a sandwich and I use it to make an open sandwich usually and cut the slice of bread in half, so I have 2 open sandwiches, from one slice that seems to stop it breaking up quite so much. I find it pretty filling, and one half slice is often as much as I need.

[gasp1 in reply to BrynGlas]

you are correct there are two types one is the rye and the other sunflower which i haven't tried yet, Like your self i find that one slice is ample for a sandwich and is really filling been having that this week with a slice of home cooked ham chunk of cheese and then an avocado and a bit of spinach not had any cravings after eating that to snack which in my world is happy days.

[BrynGlas in reply to gasp1]

Oh, I knew there would be a reason why I haven't tried the other option that Aldi sell, I don't eat sunflower oil so I wouldn't try bread made with sunflower seeds.

Yes, it is very filling isn't it?

I noticed in Tesco on Friday that they sell a rye bread, similar in looks to the Aldi one, but the pack was smaller and so each slice would be smaller. I had a look at the macros, and each slice was over 200 calories, so that was put down again quickly! LoL

[Subtle_badger in reply to BrynGlas]

I think there is a big difference between sunflower seeds and sunflower seed oil.

I wouldn't eat any food that had been processed like this (petrochemical solvents etc), but that doesn't mean the original food is bad.

[BrynGlas in reply to Subtle_badger]

Ouch! I knew there was a reason why I avoided sunflower oil like the plague!!!!! LoL

I don't remember why I stopped using it, it was many years ago though, I know that.

[Subtle_badger]

32g of carbs? thanks for that, Bryn. Then it's not fundamentally different from any other bread in terms of carbs. A couple of slices of white bread would be about the same.

I don't think you can eat this on a keto diet. If being in ketosis is important to you, this bread will almost certainly push you out of it.

You really can't eat a whole apple on a keto diet either.

That doesn't mean you can't incorporate it into a healthy diet, but it wouldn't be a ketogenic diet.
