Flax bread

Flax bread has to be one the greatest low carb foods, I have come across in almost two years. Not only does it taste good and is very easy to make, it is also packed with great nutrients. When I read about this bread, and the claims made for it, I was sceptical. To many times in the past, claims have been made re. certain foods, and what seemed to be too good to be true, usually was. This bread is very different.

Flaxseeds contain every essential amino acid and are packed with protein. The seeds contain lots of essential fatty acids and are rich with omega 3. I believe it is the high alpha linolenic acid content that drives BG numbers down. Flax seeds are very rich in essential fibre, the list of good news goes on and on. A true wonder food and being able to eat lots of bread, that will not raise BG numbers, but can actually lower them, has to be something very special indeed. I will report back on this star, low carb food in due course.
