Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 My husband is eating Atkins-style on his own initiative. I support that 100% because he is prone to arrhythmia and his heartbeat sounds much better on low-carb. Due to various factors I believe his body type is insulin resistant which causes the circulatory and other problems. He keeps threatening to get Atkins/ low-carb breads. As far as I can tell, all that stuff is made from soy protein. I'm trying to solidify my anti-soy arguments (between a million other things going on in my life). He generally trusts my judgement in nutritional matters, but he is a techie at heart, and part of him really believes technology can improve the inherent properties of food, which is of course contrary to the NT way of thinking. Anyway, do any of the Atkins/low-carb people have any suggestions on how I can make or buy bread that is at least lower carb, or lower glycemic, than the usual -- without the soy. He's only about 10-15 lb. overweight. My goal is to find him a diet that works reasonably well, is low carb compared to the rest of the world, and has some type of (non-soy) 'bread' type thing so he can feel like he's having toast with breakfast. I don't think it's carbs he's craving so much as the idea of toast with breakfast -- maybe just on weekends. I realize this may be an impossible quest, and what really needs to happen is his thinking changes. But I thought I'd try this angle.
