bread

If I am wheat intolerant is there any sort of bread alternative?

rice cakes ? I have them with extra lite philly.

Not sure about oatcakes-would have to check out the packs

I'm wheat intolerant too. Like mommyB said rice cakes are a good alternative.

If your not on phase I, there's a good brand of bread called "Genius." I know Sainsbury's sells it and Tesco has a lot of wheat free rolls, cripsbreads etc. too. There are a lot of wheat free breads some not so good and some great. Just have to experiment and see what you like. Good luck.

Have they got a lot of carb and sugar?

The Genius has 14.1 carbs per slice. Guess it is high but maybe you could have in phase 2 or 3 as a part of a carb meal or a cheat.

I know that if I cut out wheat, I don't need to worry too much about carbs and sugar, although I try to keep them on the low side. That's just me. It was a real revelation to discover I can have carbs and still lose weight as long as I stay away from wheat.
