The T-shirts! Made my morning! Danger Piñata, trash panda, duck puppy (lol). Danger noodle (I call it a nope rope) fart squirrel.bwahaha. Stab Rabbit. Murder log. I came for the bread. I stayed for the t’s. Thanks for the fun!
I just noticed that Sola’s website actually suggests that we freeze the bread shortly after receiving it and remove from the freezer as needed. Maybe this is the method they intend for us to use to prevent insulin spikes🤷🏽♀️.
@@sixpackbinky I don't think it has anything to do with the gluten. It's the starches that are (supposedly) made more resistant. Gluten is mostly protein, it's not the problem.
I may have watched this before, I remember the critter t-shirts. (I especially like the trash panda and the duck puppy.) I live out in the middle of nowhere, I only do major grocery shopping every 2 or 3 weeks. So I buy a lot of things in big bunches, and freeze them. So my keto breads are almost always frozen. I don't always toast it, but frequently, I do. That may be why I haven't noticed a big problem with it. I'm T2 diabetic, but I haven't tested the breads by themselves, just track my blood sugar in general, fasting and 2hrs post prandial. I don't remember the last time I ate any kind of breadlike substance by itself, it's always part of a meal. That's likely another reason I haven't had a big glucose response.
This 100% mirrors my experience. I used to LOVE the sola bread and buns that came in the "grocery store" style packaging. Now my store only contains the new packaging. I could tell within an hour of eating it (both the bread and the buns) that I wasn't feeling "in keto" like I was with the old style. Having done keto for 4 years now I can usually tell when something knocks me out, and the new bread is a no go.
I appreciate how comprehensive your review was. As a type 2 diabetic, I am very careful about the processed keto products that I consume. Your reviews have helped me make more informed choices, and I am so grateful!
I might consider keeping a loaf of this bread in my freezer, once I get to maintenance. Otherwise, I've just accepted bread is just one of those things I can't have. I love good bread, but it doesn't love me back... it's just isn't do-able. I move on, & have some bacon. Poor me.😂 Thanks again for doing such in depth reviews, Steve. Hopefully you save a few folks from learning the hard way.
Honestly.... Make your own. I went through TH-cam/Keto/bread and found KetoFusion. These breads are a little more work than I was used to but I have my goto loaf that I make every 2 weeks. Vital Wheat Gluten, Oat Fiber and Lupin Flour. The bread tastes like real bread even the crunchy surface and it toasts great. It's not white bread but I love it and it does not spike my BG. All you need is a mixer with a dough attachment.
@@roncenti I bake for income. I'm always trying something new. I have yet to find a homemade bread recipe I like enough to bother making regularly. Thanks for the pointers, but I do a more strict version of Keto, so I don't use wheat products of any kind. I do have a jalapeño- cheese fathead bagel recipe & a Keto Chow air fryer biscuit I enjoy. They don't really qualify as a traditional "bread" in my mind, though.
Man this bums me out. Sola used to not spike my blood glucose. Loved their bread for a while too. Had no idea they changed the formula when they changed the packaging. Had just told my wife I thought the buns tasted better than they used to. Thanks again for the video.
This is my favorite brand. I store it all in the freezer. They recently changed the look of the packaging (My Walmart carries the new look package now) Also they say the bread is now "Breadier" in the new look. The bagels are a once a week breakfast treat for me. They cost to much to eat every day anyways! Love your test videos.
I just hope they arent one of these companies that make a good product that gets great reviews only to change the formula to cash in at the expense of the customers in a bait and switch kind of way.
I was tired when I saw this video title and misread it as "Massive Ebola Review". My initial thought was, "Well crap, now Ebola is going to be the next weight loss craze?!?" It would work, I guess.
I can’t believe you put yourself thru more major CGM testing like that, but I love you for it! (Thank you) Very Interesting results, especially with the frozen products. 🤔
Sola is my favorite keto bread. A couple weeks ago our local Walmart had already transitioned to the new formulation (what you call the internet bread) and increased the price by almost $2 per loaf. With the price increase and a noticeable change in the ingredients I decided not to buy it at the time. As a type 2 diabetic and based on your testing, I'm going to have to go back to making Maria Emmerich's egg white bread. Even though it tastes like Styrofoam, at least it doesn't affect my blood sugar. Thanks for testing this!
So glad you're testing this stuff Steve. I love the Sola bread but I think it's knocking me out of Keto. I've made grilled cheese with Sola and it's perfect. The Sweet and Buttery tastes really darn close to regular bread.
Sola's "French Toast" flavor Bread and the "blueberry" bagels are my favorites, but I think it's responsible for me not seeing results like I think I should. 😢
Very interesting, I really enjoy these reviews and appreciate the time and effort you put into them. I don't eat many keto products but like seeing what's out there. 🤔🙂
Thanks Steve for testing all types of breads for us. I eat it once in a while toasted only. I had a tuna sandwich on toasted bread and it was delicious. I try not to eat to much bread and I’m used to it now. Bread is too feeling. I make my hamburgers with lettuce, as a wrap.
Bread is my downfall. It’s the food I love most. But it contributed to my becoming pre diabetic. I think even keto bread might be triggering for me, so I’d better stay away from it. Thanks for these experiments.
I am trying to catch up on my SK videos and started with this one. Thank you for being our rational guinea C saving us from food propaganda. Your experiments are priceless! I think it's time for me to do the CGM thing. I have 2 questions: 1) Did you need a prescription for the device? & 2) What is the level of intrusiveness on the software (i.e. does your data belong to the developer)? You're the best, Steve!
I really enjoy the hamburger buns that are at my store. I’m not as strict Keto as some because I’ve met my weight loss goal. Thank you for all the information!!!
Wow, such a great thorough review! I see this bread all the time, but have yet to take the plunge since I'm still in the weight loss phase. Thanks so much for all you do!
Another thorough analysis, thanks for the great review Steve! I know this is your body and not mine…but your inner geek is very appreciated by my inner geek ❤
An absolutely thorough review of Sola products. Really interesting results! I plan to try freezing the bread I like to see what effect that has on it! Thank you for the time and effort you put into thus video. No go work out and lose the pounds that you gained!😊
So has any "Keto" bread actually done what it says? what is the actual ingredient that these companies believe is not registered as a carb by us, but is. it would be good to identify is so we can avoid it.
I appreciate the tests. Its super helpful whenever these companies change up their recipes to make a follow up test. Im hoping youd do a follow up test on carbonaut, because i believe they may have updated their ingredients. Also i have been trying the gluten free white bread from Carbonaut and am not sure if its good. it seems too good to be true though.
I like the sola bread, but Steve thank you for doing these reviews, i am not too worried about a glucose spike if i have it as i dont do it every day. I used to eat pasta and almost every day. You have to do what works for you. But if im going to have bread, ihave found this brand the best of a low carb bread. But again, everyone has to see what works for them.
Stab Rabbit! I love it! That is hilarious! Thanks for the great video too, most excellent! Love your channel! I'm Subscribed! French-fried! Entertain-ified! Thankful-ified! And dang Glad-ified! I found your channel! 😂
I don't even care anymore about these little spikes with no carb bread, before I started KETO my blood sugar was going 250,so if it goes from 90 to 120 I'm still winning LOL
On a whim, cuz I like toast with my coffee in the morning, I tried the flaxseed & psyllium bread. It got dark, like pumpernickel, but I liked it. And it didn't spike me like my beloved Sola did😢. Bonus, it keeps one regular IYKWIM
My supermarket (Jewel) now only keeps the sola bread in the freezer.. any chance your supermarket bread was previously frozen, hence why you had the better response?
Question for you Steve, did you order most of the breads for the test from the Internet? In the 'Internet vs store' section of the video the red packaging is just the old packaging which is being replaced in stores by the packaging you referred to as Internet version. I was just at Meijer last night and they only had the newer packaging on the shelf. Not a red package to be seen. I was curious if it was just a packaging change or if they changed the ingredients. Looks like the answer is both.
Everything except the red packaged sweet oat bread was from the internet store. I bought the sweet oat bread at the grocery store less than a week ago. If Sola is changing the ingredients on the grocery store breads, that is disappointing.
@@SeriousKeto Yeah it is definitely a bit disappointing based on the changes in the ingredients you talked about in your video. One good thing though, at least you did the review on the newer version. If you had reviewed mostly the red bag version then your video would have been irrelevant almost as soon as you released it. (That's assuming I'm correct that the red bag is at end of life.)
TY for the reviews. *I thought I knew pretty much everything keto at this point, but was surprised in a recent video with Dr. Berry and Dr. Westman when Dr. Westman said for some people who do a cheat day or meal? It can knock them out of ketosis for 2 weeks. I was stunned. Might stay away from this bread.
Even after eating a bunch of rice and birthday cake at the hibachi restaurant on my birthday, I was back into nutritional ketosis within a day. I guess I’m pretty metabolically flexible…
Here is another thought about the Store vs. Internet bread, in my local supermarket they freeze the bread. I know this because I've bought bread that has condensation inside the bag & it was cold. You've got to be careful that there is no mould. That's happened to me before. I got it home & brought it back to the store & they confirmed that it had been frozen. They restock the shelves with defrosted bread, but just barely... I'm not sure if the bread arrives frozen here to Hawaii, I didn't ask but it wouldn't surprise me. Just a thought.
Please review/test Thin Slim Foods bagels. If you’ve already done so, what is the link to your video please? I’ve been subscribed to your channel for 3 years now. Hands down, yours is my favorite keto content channel. Thank you for all your recipes and reviews.
This makes me wonder how bad the Aldi "Keto" bread products are spiking me. The newer formulations of the keto white bread, the buns, bagels and the dinner rolls. (Most are seasonal or holiday availability only). Could it be that the Sola products are simply new formulations/packaging, and not necessarily internet only? Thanks for doing all these tests.
I thought I might want to try the Extraordinary Bites bagels. I went to their website and they're not listed at all. I then went to their page on the Walmart site and I get an "oops" - page not found. It sounds like they discontinued them 😠
Your videos put me on to Sola. Before I was overpaying for breads that didn't perform as well in your tests. After making the which, I'm saving money and feeling better. Sola tastes great also.
Thanks for taking the bullet for us Steve. I will be sticking with my Kroger Lettuce Boats for my sandwiches. If there is any bread that you have found that is safe for Keto, please do a video on it. I have seen most all your videos and I don't recall so far, any specific that you have given a solid recommendation.
Where does it say that wheat products are "not keto"? Gluten is a protein, not a carb. Keto is a metabolic state, not a list of forbidden ingredients (despite what some internet keto "gurus" say). That said, many companies seem to play fast and loose with their definition of "fiber".
I'm 74, and I enjoy the flavor of Sola bread even if it spikes my blood sugar, but it's far less of a spike and has fewer carbs than regular bread! The 5-seed tastes amazing toasted with butter and almond butter too and it's great for sandwiches. To compare, Sam's Club sells two loaves of Aunt Millie's Keto-white bread for about $7.50 while Sola costs $5.79 for a single loaf at the local Kroger's. Sola tastes much better IMO, and is worth the extra cost!
I wonder if freezing the bread gives a glucose spike benefit to breads that should be stored frozen like 1 carb Carbonaut? Also I'd love if you could test that specific bread. I know you tested the 2 carb version (only available online as far as I can tell, and doesn't need to be frozen), but the 1 carb version actually has different ingredients.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck well I think the duck is trying to tell you that that’s probably going to spike your blood sugar because it’s bread
This is a huge bummer. We keep some of this on hand to take with us when we go out for lunch or dinner, to have substituted for real buns or bread when we have burgers or whatever when eating out. The "internet" bread is what our stores carry here in Texas now, so we don't have a choice. Guess I'm going to have to be more careful about how often we do this, and/or go back to "burger salad". I guess the good news is we keep it in the freezer to have it on hand for these occasions, so maybe the glucose response is blunted a little bit.
I am diabetic and use the Supermarket version. I am now worried that they may change that to the internet blend so I will have to keep a close eye on the ingredients every time I buy now.
Sola's sweet & buttery is the BEST keto bread I've ever had, it's delicious! I also like the Alvarado St. Bakery freshly sprouted wheat sourdough bread I found at Safeway, it makes good toast. BTW, off topic, I love the designs on your tee shirts!
I have been ordering Alvarado St. Bakery Flax Seed Bread for years now. They use to sell that bread at Trader Joe's, but they stopped selling it. The Alvarado St Bakery is costly for shipping, but it is worth it to me.
Oh Sola has a new packaging! Seems new ingredient list too because the net carb count came down. However, I saw Erythritol in the ingredient list. I used to eat Sola bread because I stayed in ketosis with that but have since switched to Aldi Keto bread even though that bread kicked me out of ketosis. Aldi bread tastes most real bread like to me. Given your test results, Sola bread has definitely changed, I don’t have to think about going back to Sola then. Actually no bread for me right now as I’m doing KC twice a day and have been enjoying it. No real weight loss yet but I only started a few days. Thanks for the video! Edit: Wonder how the starch resistant test does after more than two plus hours.
The package change i think follows the update to the ingredients. I have purchased Sola breads for a long time, they started here in Texas, so it has been here for a while. I noticed a more pronounced yawn factor with the new bread formula. If after your meal within an hour you start yawning, thats a glucose increase. If you have a good keto meal, you typically don't get tired from it.
@@SeriousKeto I try to only use the keto breads about once a week. Otherwise its meats and veg for me. It is working so far. Very slowly now though. I had 50 years of terrible food addiction. It has been tough to break away from it and realize that food was never meant to be your sole source of enjoyment. It was mine. I didn't realize how much I attached my happiness to my food until I started trying to let go of it. I don't know what its like to be addicted to anything else, but wow is it hard to break this one. Still trying after 3 years.
I think the internet bread is a newer formulation, as that bread is the bread that is being sold in my local Meijer store in Michigan for about the past month.
How can someone else say that your toaster doesn't make your bread toasted enough? "Toast" is subjective, some like it dark, some like it a medium color, and others like it light and consider medium as burnt.
@@SeriousKeto thanks for explaining. That’s about a 50% improvement, so for people like myself -who are struggling to stay on ( an occasional piece of bread for a sandwich ) might mean the difference in being able to stay on it or not. I haven’t been able to master KetoUpgrades protein sparing bread yet. I’m about tired of trying. So this might be my solution. Thanks a million I love you guys. I say ex’tract instead of ex-tract’ too 😁. It’s such a nice thing to see you and your kids enjoying each others company. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for I taking so much time to test these bread products. I prefer the grocery store sweet and buttery sola bread. I eat it when I have a sugar craving... gets me through it. Again, THANK YOU for taking the time to test the breads!
They changed the packaging, the store bought looks like same as your internet bread. I can't find the red packaging anymore. I use Carbonaut bread (blue bag) now but used to buy Sola, but I'm avoiding soy products due to inflammation and it's GMO soy. Sola has too many ingredients.
I’m doing Keto for weight loss, getting amazing results but I just wish I had a good sandwich I can occasionally eat so I can diet more consistently. Will I be okay if I eat the Keto bacon burger, but that’s the only meal I eat that day ? Some advice would be appreciated! I’d die for a burger right now lol
In my experience, all of these “keto” breads seem to stall weight loss (or even cause weight gain) even if they don’t spike glucose or knock a person out of ketosis. As such, I look at it as an occasional treat rather than a regular thing.
Thanks for this video. I really appreciate you putting yourself on the line to provide us the info on how this bread affects you. I am going to see if I can find it and see if it will work for me. Appreciate you!
Does anyone know if the $200 fee for the levels monitor is monthly? Or is it a one time fee and you just pay the $15 monthly service fee after that? I can't find a phone number to call them and the FAQ doesn't seem to have this info.
They have the new version at my Walmart I used to eat the old version but didn't really like the taste but I will definitely purchase it again to see the difference 😊
I have found out, both from a person at a bakery and a grocery store employee that ALMOST ALL bread is frozen for shipment and arrives at the grocery store frozen. I believe this throws much of the resistant starch methodology claims into doubt (at least a little).
I have to start by saying thank you. I may be remembering Incorrectly but I think I remember you saying you would not do any more of these tests that have a negative impact on your body. I do 0:02 understand that everyone’s reactions will be different to these products, but I greatly appreciate you sharing yours. It puts into perspective things that are labeled “Keto”, even if the next carbs on the packaging is low, that it can still have an impact on our diets.
Coming from another geeky spreadsheet person, bravo!! What bread do you like the best? It seems that the sweet oat has the best glucose response, is that how you see it?
Thank you for what you do! You Save me a bunch of time and money doing your tests. Appreciate you 🤗

I think the FDA is pretty lax in what they allow to be labeled as fiber, thereby allowing these companies to play some games with net carbs.

I can not lose weight when I eat low carb bread, and I also tend to gain.
I put on weight over the course of this video and was very careful about carbs outside of eating the bread.
Sola is the only "keto" bread I will use.

TY for the reviews. *I thought I knew pretty much everything keto at this point, but was surprised in a recent video with Dr. Berry and Dr. Westman when Dr. Westman said for some people who do a cheat day or meal? It can knock them out of ketosis for 2 weeks. I was stunned. Might stay away from this bread.
Even after eating a bunch of rice and birthday cake at the hibachi restaurant on my birthday, I was back into nutritional ketosis within a day. I guess I’m pretty metabolically flexible…
I’m just here for the shirts.
Just kidding i’m here for the keto.
But mostly for the shirts.
Great timing, I'd just finished watching the video comparing the Sola and Aldi's breads
I can't get past the taste and texture of the Aldi's keto bread. I would rather go without. Sola is delicious!
Here is another thought about the Store vs. Internet bread, in my local supermarket they freeze the bread. I know this because I've bought bread that has condensation inside the bag & it was cold. You've got to be careful that there is no mould. That's happened to me before. I got it home & brought it back to the store & they confirmed that it had been frozen. They restock the shelves with defrosted bread, but just barely... I'm not sure if the bread arrives frozen here to Hawaii, I didn't ask but it wouldn't surprise me. Just a thought.
Certainly a possibility
Please review/test Thin Slim Foods bagels. If you’ve already done so, what is the link to your video please? I’ve been subscribed to your channel for 3 years now. Hands down, yours is my favorite keto content channel. Thank you for all your recipes and reviews.
This makes me wonder how bad the Aldi "Keto" bread products are spiking me. The newer formulations of the keto white bread, the buns, bagels and the dinner rolls. (Most are seasonal or holiday availability only). Could it be that the Sola products are simply new formulations/packaging, and not necessarily internet only? Thanks for doing all these tests.
Will you try some paleo products like Pacha bread and seven Sundays cereal?
Thank you for your hard work, great reporting, and I didn't even notice the camera focus was off!
Thank you so much!
I thought I might want to try the Extraordinary Bites bagels. I went to their website and they're not listed at all. I then went to their page on the Walmart site and I get an "oops" - page not found. It sounds like they discontinued them 😠
I've found that WalMart is really hit or miss in terms of carrying Extraordinary Bites products.
Your videos put me on to Sola. Before I was overpaying for breads that didn't perform as well in your tests. After making the which, I'm saving money and feeling better. Sola tastes great also.
Thanks for taking the bullet for us Steve. I will be sticking with my Kroger Lettuce Boats for my sandwiches. If there is any bread that you have found that is safe for Keto, please do a video on it. I have seen most all your videos and I don't recall so far, any specific that you have given a solid recommendation.
Kiss My Keto is probably the best balance of taste and ingredients for keto, but the loaves are very small and pretty expensive.
How do they call them keto when they have wheat and wheat gluten in them?? That is why they are bread-like!!
Where does it say that wheat products are "not keto"? Gluten is a protein, not a carb. Keto is a metabolic state, not a list of forbidden ingredients (despite what some internet keto "gurus" say). That said, many companies seem to play fast and loose with their definition of "fiber".
Great product I’m enjoying the taste soft n chewy gives you that satisfying feeling when u need something crunchy
Thank you so much for your insight of that product it's so helpful 👍
Outstanding job. My Walmart now has the new Yellow pac bread only ? Always freeze it and will check my numbers .Thanks Steve
I'm 74, and I enjoy the flavor of Sola bread even if it spikes my blood sugar, but it's far less of a spike and has fewer carbs than regular bread!
The 5-seed tastes amazing toasted with butter and almond butter too and it's great for sandwiches.
To compare, Sam's Club sells two loaves of Aunt Millie's Keto-white bread for about $7.50 while Sola costs $5.79 for a single loaf at the local Kroger's. Sola tastes much better IMO, and is worth the extra cost!
I wonder if freezing the bread gives a glucose spike benefit to breads that should be stored frozen like 1 carb Carbonaut? Also I'd love if you could test that specific bread. I know you tested the 2 carb version (only available online as far as I can tell, and doesn't need to be frozen), but the 1 carb version actually has different ingredients.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck well I think the duck is trying to tell you that that’s probably going to spike your blood sugar because it’s bread
what a great review... so many questions answered. Very useful. 😀Thanks
thank you for the test run! in my conclusion is to stay out of this so ´'called ´´ bread.... this isnt healthy even though it may seem that way...
Appreciate the testing, but the results made me sad too. As you noted, it’s very tasty for low net carb bread.
This is a huge bummer. We keep some of this on hand to take with us when we go out for lunch or dinner, to have substituted for real buns or bread when we have burgers or whatever when eating out. The "internet" bread is what our stores carry here in Texas now, so we don't have a choice. Guess I'm going to have to be more careful about how often we do this, and/or go back to "burger salad". I guess the good news is we keep it in the freezer to have it on hand for these occasions, so maybe the glucose response is blunted a little bit.
I am diabetic and use the Supermarket version. I am now worried that they may change that to the internet blend so I will have to keep a close eye on the ingredients every time I buy now.
What bread can we eat that is the LEAST carbs and glucose raisers?
I dont care how it tastes. Ill out stuff on it
Sola's sweet & buttery is the BEST keto bread I've ever had, it's delicious! I also like the Alvarado St. Bakery freshly sprouted wheat sourdough bread I found at Safeway, it makes good toast. BTW, off topic, I love the designs on your tee shirts!
I have been ordering Alvarado St. Bakery Flax Seed Bread for years now. They use to sell that bread at Trader Joe's, but they stopped selling it. The Alvarado St Bakery is costly for shipping, but it is worth it to me.
Oh Sola has a new packaging! Seems new ingredient list too because the net carb count came down. However, I saw Erythritol in the ingredient list. I used to eat Sola bread because I stayed in ketosis with that but have since switched to Aldi Keto bread even though that bread kicked me out of ketosis. Aldi bread tastes most real bread like to me. Given your test results, Sola bread has definitely changed, I don’t have to think about going back to Sola then. Actually no bread for me right now as I’m doing KC twice a day and have been enjoying it. No real weight loss yet but I only started a few days. Thanks for the video! Edit: Wonder how the starch resistant test does after more than two plus hours.
Often, specialty breads in the supermarket are shipped and stored frozen. Only when put out on the shelves do they start to defrost.
I've heard that from other sources as well...
I'm just here for the t-shirts!! Too funny, especially Stab Rabbit😂❤
The package change i think follows the update to the ingredients. I have purchased Sola breads for a long time, they started here in Texas, so it has been here for a while.
I noticed a more pronounced yawn factor with the new bread formula. If after your meal within an hour you start yawning, thats a glucose increase. If you have a good keto meal, you typically don't get tired from it.
That new formula sure does make this taste and behave a lot closer to "real" bread.
@@SeriousKeto I try to only use the keto breads about once a week. Otherwise its meats and veg for me. It is working so far.
Very slowly now though. I had 50 years of terrible food addiction. It has been tough to break away from it and realize that food was never meant to be your sole source of enjoyment. It was mine. I didn't realize how much I attached my happiness to my food until I started trying to let go of it. I don't know what its like to be addicted to anything else, but wow is it hard to break this one. Still trying after 3 years.
I think the internet bread is a newer formulation, as that bread is the bread that is being sold in my local Meijer store in Michigan for about the past month.
Bummer. The newer formulation tastes pretty much like real bread, though it the glucose increase is double to triple what the older version caused me.
Thanks for the review, Steve! By the way, kiss my keto has three new me flavors that would make for a good review 😊
Gotta toast the bagel🥯
How is this low carb? It is made with wheat flour and soy flour.
Yeah looking at the ingredients I will stay away and use ketobakes occasionally. I have started counting total carbs instead of net. Great review
How can someone else say that your toaster doesn't make your bread toasted enough? "Toast" is subjective, some like it dark, some like it a medium color, and others like it light and consider medium as burnt.
Some people just like to complain, I guess...
Steve could you please put this into perspective for me? How much rise would a regular piece of bread give your glucose compared to this keto bread?
Regular white bread will cause me a spike of 50 points or more.
@@SeriousKeto thanks for explaining. That’s about a 50% improvement, so for people like myself -who are struggling to stay on ( an occasional piece of bread for a sandwich ) might mean the difference in being able to stay on it or not. I haven’t been able to master KetoUpgrades protein sparing bread yet. I’m about tired of trying. So this might be my solution. Thanks a million I love you guys. I say ex’tract instead of ex-tract’ too 😁. It’s such a nice thing to see you and your kids enjoying each others company. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for I taking so much time to test these bread products. I prefer the grocery store sweet and buttery sola bread. I eat it when I have a sugar craving... gets me through it. Again, THANK YOU for taking the time to test the breads!
My favorite low carb breads are Ink keto seeded bread and orow wheat seeded bread.
I freeze the bread and eat with protein so it helps alot and I only eat half of a bagel with protein
They changed the packaging, the store bought looks like same as your internet bread. I can't find the red packaging anymore. I use Carbonaut bread (blue bag) now but used to buy Sola, but I'm avoiding soy products due to inflammation and it's GMO soy. Sola has too many ingredients.
I’m doing Keto for weight loss, getting amazing results but I just wish I had a good sandwich I can occasionally eat so I can diet more consistently. Will I be okay if I eat the Keto bacon burger, but that’s the only meal I eat that day ? Some advice would be appreciated! I’d die for a burger right now lol
In my experience, all of these “keto” breads seem to stall weight loss (or even cause weight gain) even if they don’t spike glucose or knock a person out of ketosis. As such, I look at it as an occasional treat rather than a regular thing.
Thanks for this video. I really appreciate you putting yourself on the line to provide us the info on how this bread affects you. I am going to see if I can find it and see if it will work for me. Appreciate you!
Thank you for testing Sola bread, so that I know whether to buy or Not!
thank you Steve I was wondering about this product
Just with the ingredients list is a big NO for me.
Does anyone know if the $200 fee for the levels monitor is monthly? Or is it a one time fee and you just pay the $15 monthly service fee after that? I can't find a phone number to call them and the FAQ doesn't seem to have this info.
It is monthly, but that also includes the cost of the continuous glucose monitors and transmitters.
What kind of oils they put in those breads?
Another great video. Unbelievabuns sill win. Need that sandwich bread.
Agreed 💯
Did the bread have any affect on your ketones?
They have the new version at my Walmart I used to eat the old version but didn't really like the taste but I will definitely purchase it again to see the difference 😊
Do you have to heat the bread after freezing? Or can you freeze the bread and then make an untoasted sandwich? Would that keep the glucose spike down?
I have found out, both from a person at a bakery and a grocery store employee that ALMOST ALL bread is frozen for shipment and arrives at the grocery store frozen. I believe this throws much of the resistant starch methodology claims into doubt (at least a little).
I hate the hot dog buns. I ground them up and added spices to make bread crumbs added also dried garlic and parmesan...pretty good! Keepfrozen
Good tip.
Love those T-shirts! Yeah, a loaf in the freezer to have once in a while is the route I'd go.
Wondering why the results are different for sola bread in this video vs the one you did comparing it to Aldi bread? Thank you
They’ve changed quite a few ingredients.
Hi, have you ever insulin spike tested Thin Slim Zero Net Carbs Bagels?
I have not.
I have to start by saying thank you.
I may be remembering
Incorrectly but I think I remember you saying you would not do any more of these tests that have a negative impact on your body. I do 0:02 understand that everyone’s reactions will be different to these products, but I greatly appreciate you sharing yours. It puts into perspective things that are labeled “Keto”, even if the next carbs on the packaging is low, that it can still have an impact on our diets.
I said that in a podcast as I was in the process of filming this video. This video has been "done" for quite a while.
Coming from another geeky spreadsheet person, bravo!! What bread do you like the best? It seems that the sweet oat has the best glucose response, is that how you see it?
Probably the sweet oat.
We’ve eaten Sola bread for 2 years. Love it. Cheaper 2 pack at Costco.
My Costco only carries Natural Ovens brand, which I've reviewed and recall that it spiked my glucose. I wish mine had Sola
