As one of the mainstays of the western diet bread is often incorporated into at least one meal a day, and many people consume bread with breakfast, lunch and dinner. \u00a0Finding low carb alternatives to bread can be major hurdle for those on a low carb diet, but we’ve come up with some tips that you will find useful whether you are on the Atkins diet or just following a Low GI regime.<\/p>\n

Lettuce Leaves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Believe it or not some sturdy iceburg or romaine lettuce leaves can hold most sandwich fillings and you can do away with burger buns if you really don’t want to go down a low carb alternative route. \u00a0Obviously you will need to let hot food cool down a bit if you attempt to eat it as hand-held food.<\/p>\n

Egg Plant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two slices of broiled egg plant make a delicious and healthy alternative to a regular sandwich, you can have a hot filling as well, try mozzerella, tomato & basil drizzled with olive oil for a truely Mediterranean lunch.<\/p>\n

Tortilla Wraps<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

A standard white tortilla has a GI of 30 so is still much better for you than regular bread, however these wholemeal tortillas have only 3g of net carbs in each tortilla, so a delicious and healthy alternative to your lunchtime sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
