If you notice the morning glucose spike on this video's thumbnail, that had an interesting cause. I was pulling on a t-shirt as I was walking out of my bedroom and hit my elbow on the doorframe hard enough to leave a mark. It definitely rated a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale and per the Levels software for my continuous glucose monitor, I had a 36 mg/dL spike in my glucose. Wild stuff... Also, the reason I do these glucose tests on some videos (even though I'm not diabetic) is that I feel that these tests are still relevant. First, if a product spikes my glucose as a non-diabetic, I think it would be concerning to a diabetic. Second, maintaining a level blood glucose is important to metabolic health whether your diabetic or not.
@@redbirdacreswi The continuous meter collects measurements continuously. I've discovered, though, that I peak at around one hour, so I validate the measurement with a blood glucose monitor to show that (for people who want to test themselves but don't want the expense of a continuous glucose monitor).
@@redbirdacreswi I suffer from insulin resistance My 1 hour test is always sky high , but 2 hour is always normal. Do your half hour and one hour, you might be very surprised!
I have to be honest with you, the companies who are trying to appeal to the Keto Community, we are concerned about our health, so when you put in unhealthy ingredients, well, a true Keto person just puts it back on the shelf. Soy Oil, Canola, Cotton Seed Oil, etc are not healthy oils !!!
I really respect your work ethic. I’m guessing there’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes too. Your analytical approach and your consistency combined with your personality, make for educational and enjoyable viewing. Thank you!
There were no statistics, as he did one sample of each. This isn't a useful test. Then he throws on all sort of anecdotes about his knee inflammation, again with a single data point.
Oh you just broke my heart! I've been purchasing and enjoying this bread for the past year. Weight went from 172 to 138 in that year. It was the only thing that has help me survive a low carb lifestyle!
This bread helps my husband and I with keto as well. I don't know if it is hindering us at all, but it sure is nice to have "bread"! I love the cinnamon version toasted with a small amount of Mara Natha brand peanut butter and a drizzle of Walden Farms maple flavored syrup.
I just saw this stuff grocery shopping YESTERDAY. Took one look at the ingredients list, laughed, and tossed it back. Imagine making "keto" food and not expecting your keto customers to read the label.
@@jujuapple6706 I spent a year on strict keto. The homemade bread alts were all disgusting. If someone on keto really wanted bread I'd say go for it. I think the fears over soy are a little overblown. Still problems yes, but overblown.
Just wanted to let everyone know that if you haven't ordered from ChipMonk Baking before, do it! I just placed an order a little while ago and David, I believe he's the CEO, actually sent me a personalized video thanking me for making the purchase. I thought that was so cool and thoughtful. No other company has ever done that before. I have gotten handwritten thank you notes, but never a personal thank you video.
I'm Type II with a typical A1c of 6-6.5 and tested two slices of the Healthy Life white bread last year. I got a 50-60 pt spike... confirming once again my theory that "resistant starch" is total woo-woo.
I LOOOOOVE white bread. In fact, Im kind of a white bread snob. The Lewis bread that you tried first is so close to regular white bread that I cant tell the difference when on a sandwich. Even tho you got a spike from it, it has helped me lose around 30lbs so far. (I think the Hawaiian is gross, though.)
It always surprises me when something that is supposed to be keto-friendly has wheat as one of the first ingredients. I eat low-carb because I have an allergy to all starches. I would not be able to touch the breads you reviewed. That being said, thank you for reviewing them because now I know not to waste my money on them. :)
This is why I don’t buy anything labeled keto. Many businesses will jump in the trend for profit and care nothing about integrity. Your best bet is to eat whole unprocessed foods that are keto
One of the first things I do, since finding out about my food allergies (wheat being the main one and a big cause of inflammation for me) is checking ingredients...never fooled by the hype on the packaging. Keto has helped and IF even more! Here's to your healing journey...love your channel, Steve!
My son is a type 1 and I can tell you that every single "keto" bread blows up his glucose. He has to give himself the same amount of insulin as if he was eating plain old white bread.
Steve! I love these type of videos ! It’s so shady they can legally put 0 net carbs on something and cause that much of a spike! I am Canadian and don’t have focus or keto mojo. Only a plain blood glucose monitor. I am Canadian so I am familiar with Mmol vs the points Americans use. I’m not diabetic but I think it’s like 4-7 points that’s normal. Would you have any idea how big a spike in mmol would be considered insignificant vs moderate ? Maybe like 2/10’s of a point? Btw I pronounce it tumor-ic too. I’ve never heard anyone pronounce the “r”. It’s like necklace, very few people say it how it’s spelled. Everyone says neckless.
oh man, having a CGM to do this sort of thing makes it all so much less painful and bleed-y. First time I did something like this I ended up with massive pile of glucose strips and a bunch of fingers that hurt for the next 3 days.
My lancet is set at 2, but I was testing every 15 minutes when trying new foods just to see where spikes were, anf how long they lasted. Gave that nonsense up!
@@leslieholland7843 15 mins is too early... 30/60/90....I wouldn't even test at 2 hrs like they suggest. It's almost a given your numbers will be down by then.
Thanks for taking the time to compare these breads. I eat the low carb bread from Sola and while it might not feel/taste like Wonder Bread, it serves it purpose of being bookends to what I have in the middle. 😁
I am with you in that I preferred darker breads such as wheat, rye, pumpernickel, etc. when I ate bread (over 5 years ago). My downfall on the bread was the Hawaiian rolls and homemade bread (I used to be very good at baking bread). I keep some commercial keto bread in the freezer in case I have a craving, that doesn't happen too often. Your testing is very informative and definitely helps me make decisions on bread products.
After 4 years of being on a Low Carb Program and losing over 30#s If it tastes too good it probably isn't. Thanks for your Testing and I will avoid these. On another note I would love to see the same sort of test on the Brownie Box mix being sold at Costco...again tastes too good to be good.
I've made the Indigo Nili version of the Maria Emmerich egg white bread and have come to prefer that for any "bread" needs. These commercial breads are just too expensive with sketchy ingredients...
Yeah, once I work through my supply of Kiss My Keto bread, I'll go back to making the Indigo Nili bread. She's done really good stuff with that recipe.
@@eagercrafter_9014 the bun mold is great-except sort of a pain to clean. I use it weekly to make sandwich rolls for my husband’s lunch. I also use the 2KK protein bread recipe that uses Keto chow Chicken Soup base. I’ve also used the beef soup base with same great results.
I've tried the egg white bread twice with poor results. Next I'm going to try the Indigp Nili version but I have to buy more ingredients. I have more confidence in what she does and it's good to hear others seem to like hers too. Think it's a plan.
You have done so many videos on bread that you should make a spread sheet comparing all the data. I would happily pay to done load that. Not that I couldn't go through your videos and do it, but I would rather just pay for it!
I eat 2 slices of the Lewis bread every day. My test was drastically different from yours. Preface, I am 70, type 2 diabetic and insulin resistant, taking 100 MG metforman twice daily. My starting glucose was 114, 1 hour later it was 120 and 116 at two. I don't notice more or less joint pain. I love your reviews and use them when choosing low carb foods.. Thanks for the test, this demonstrates to me that data can be very different with different people and circumstances. Thanks a million!
@@suziegrandma I believe you are right. I am happy I don't have to give up my bread because that is the one thing I find hard to give up. Sugar, potatoes & pasta I gave up or found comparable substitutes.
I eat 5 slices of the zero carb Lewis bread daily. I've been on Keto for 5 months, and so far I've lost 48 lbs. I'm not diabetic, but I started my journey at 307 lbs. So, I was pre-diabetic. My new doctor did my blood-work and said my sugar is "normal", and my cholesterol is "good". (This was right around Valentine's Day). I think it depends on the person as to how one's body reacts. I admit I use it as a crutch. But, when I started Keto on August 30, 2021, I had someone drop me off in front of whatever store I needed to shop in. If there weren't any electronic shopping carts, I'd call them to come and pick me back up. Now, I drive myself to the store. I never use an electronic cart, and I walk all over the store without needing a rest break.
Wow this is REALLY shady how they can advertise a food at "keto" and it's not really keto. Glad there are people out here like you testing these products. Makes you wonder about everything you buy at the store, is "grass fed" actually grass fed?
While I do not monitor my glucose I definitely steer clear of most every kind of bread on the market. The only kind of bread so to speak that I eat are cauliflower rounds from Trader Joe's. Anything with wheat or soy is inflammatory and I Don't Go near it. This video was awesome and just backs up my feelings about it. My body has instant inflammation with any kind of wheat or soy! Thank you so much for this.
Can you interpret the data a bit Steve? Meaning, "the blood glucose spike"? Does that mean you're knocked out of ketosis? I don't have the inflammation reaction to those ingredients and am not a zealot about dirty keto. 2 slices, maybe, in a week, usually on a very Chef'y (Kerrygold butter, fancy deli cut cheeses, flake salt in the butter) grilled cheese with the Lewis plain is next level! Also, do you have a category "Top 10" type of list; like which store bought bread do you recommend? Thanks!
I have to tell you. I had bought the Lewis Healthy Life Keto Bread 2 days ago. That night I made for dinner 2 slices toasted. Then I spread half of a small Hass Avacado on top. On top of one toast I put scrambled egg and top the other toast with a soft boiled egg. By morning I did not feel good at all. Trying to figure it out I tested my glucose and it was 130. My chest hurt and my glucose stayed at 130 for hours before it started to come back down some...115. I drank 2 glasses of water forced myself to exercise and go walking. My husband walked with me concerned. Then I saw this video and I felt so betrayed by Lewis Co. for using bad ingredients that actually are bad for people. Thank you for caring and help weeding out (false products) as I call it. Thank You, Bless you and your family.
I agree. This bread spikes my blood sugar more than regular bread!!!! Plus I would rather eat real bread. Low carb tortillas are actually low carb so I assumed these were actually keto also but nope. To think of all the times I overpaid for this fake bread before testing my blood sugar. Now I feel so betrayed.
The Brownberry is called Oroweat where I am. Same exact packaging. I really like it. Too much probably. Toasted with butter and natural peanut butter. Mmm! I try not to buy it very often. Thanks for your reviews.
Appreciate the testing & information you provide in doing the reviews. I don't buy anything without reading the ingredient list. I also have to go by total carbs because I've found they all count for me. Have a blessed day!
Thank you for the review Steve. I especially appreciate your comments on your inflammation. Keto has been as much about weight loss as inflammation and other markers for me if not more.
Thanks Steve! I've tried all three of those breads and agree with your assessment of the taste. I'm a type 2 diabetic and I got even a higher spike than you - around 50 points.
That's one of the reasons I do these tests. I figure if I spike, it's safe for a T2D to assume they will experience something even worse. Thanks for confirming.
I've been Keto for 6 years now and have tried just about every "Keto" bread on the market (and just about every other Keto product for that matter). This video affirms my experience that Keto bread is not a "set it and forget it" Keto food item when it comes to reliance on net carb theory. I've experienced the same with Carb Smart tortillas as well. I tell all people who go Keto to test, test, and test some more when it comes to different kinds of food. Make notes of what works best for you regarding glucose spike management. You will also find that everyone is a little different. What might spike my blood sugar, may not spike yours, and vice versa. Conversely, some foods you think for sure will spike you don't, while others you think are safe do. The same caution regarding net carb theory should also be applied to Keto sweets, in my experience. An interesting variable you could add to the bread tests is take a glucose reading with eating the bread alone, then add a protein to it and test again. I realize that is a sandwich test, but the protein sometimes helps to temper the spike. You may have already done some of this on other videos. Enjoy your content.
I agree with that. I'm currently more low carb than keto, and started with Atkins over 20 years ago. But, I will incorporate other things when they work for me. Years ago, Dreamfields pasta promoted themselves as having a proprietary method of suppressing glucose spikes, although their carb count is pretty high. I've tested, and for me, Dreamfields works. But, I still want to try both Steve and Keto Asian's pasta when I can afford the specialty ingredients. Definitely test, test, test if someone wants to give the Dreamfields a try.
@@gretelhance While difficult to find opportunities to say when keto, hopefully this works for you, as it does for me: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם הַמּוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן הָאָרֶץ Baruch ata Adonai Eloheinu melech ha’olam hamotzi lechem min ha’aretz. Blessed are you, Lord our God, ruler of the universe who brings forth bread from the earth.
I like the keto bread from Lewis also. I believe my favorite is the white but the Hawaiian is ok too. I've lost 60 lbs on the low carb, lazy keto diet and am on maintenence now.
Once I tried Franz keto bread and had such bad stomach issues I was afraid to try any other bread. I make indigo Nili butter buns all the time. They are so good. Sticking with that right now.
Thanks Steve. My husband will eat breads with wheat gluten and I won't. We don't have any of those breads at our Walmart, but I ordered some kiss my keto bread for him to try. Thanks again for the heads up
Have you tested the sugar rise after eating a regular Costco croissant? Also effects on ketones? To my surprise after eating one with butter, two cups of coffee with heavy cream, my blood sugar rise was only 17 points. Just curious if that is a good weekend breakfast treat for the diabetic folks, although the total carbs are 26 gms, fiber 2 gms and sugar 6 gms, total calories 330.
(Harry here) Yeah, we bought our share of store-bought keto bread in the beginning and all I can say is "We make our own bread" I understand why your blood sugar count went up. Yeah, the ingredients of this bread is nuts. I unlike you love white bread In fact, I'm on my way to the kitchen to have a slice right now. It took a long time to come up with a bread that really comes close to white bread, in fact, today is a hamburger day and I'm using buns that wendy made for the hamburger bun. So watching this video was FANTASTIC because it just updates my knowledge on buying keto bread. Thanks . Oh yeah, when you said cotton seed oil I gringed.
Hey Harry! Just getting ready to mention you guys! I know you have bread recipes that use different ingredients according to your needs which is great, so people don't give up, you will find the one you like if you keep trying because the effort is worth it to find a recipe you will eat forever and know its good for you and won't cause you pain. So thanks to all you bread gurus out there and those who test bread for us like Serious Keto.
So, you are saying your own home-made bread recipes do not spike or consistently raise your blood sugar? I have been thinking of buying a bread maker. Reading reviews now, on the best for gluten free, and low carb breads. I guess some handle these recipes better than others.
I've only had the Brownberry, and it was so boring I thought I was eating printer paper. I threw it out. I'd much rather make small amounts of coconut & almond flour recipes from Chef Duff or Google. Literally all of them are better than this bread.
Hahaha, I loved the "squish test"! When we were growing up in the 1950's, the boys always squished pieces of their white lunch bread into little grey (dirty hands) dough balls before eating it. I thought it was just to freak out the girls, but my husband says no, the bread just tasted better that way!
I squished my bread, too, but first I pulled off the crust in one long piece and made a tight roll out of it and then squished the white part. Long time ago, I'm 75
I'm getting a bit lazy with cooking and I'm not a big fan of chaffles. I know the breads aren't great but for the occasional cheese toasty or blt i don't think it matters that much. Thank you for testing the bread-always good to know the facts.
Yep 100%. These people that hyper micro manage are just obsessed and body watch 24/7 Weight is coming off me good eating these breads and feeling so much better. Just no way to be "Perfect" and live forever. I have family who were strict organic Vegans and got cancer. It's life.
You are spot on about the bad oils in the breads, also another really bad ingredient is wheat protein isolate. Any of the protein isolates are excitotoxins, which destroy brain cells. I also don't like the glucose spikes. Thank you for this video, it was eye opening.
@@mphsb Hello. The ingredients indicate organic grains but I don't like the canola oil in the Dave's bread because canola oil is another bad oil. The marketing for canola oil sells it as "heart healthy" but it is inflammatory. I would suggest you bake some Keto bread for your Dad. There are so many videos for good Keto bread. The ingredients are so much better for the body - almond flour, coconut flour, avocado or coconut oil. The idea is to keep the inflammation down. My mom is 86 too. She has had type II diabetes for years but keeps it under control via diet and Berberine supplements. She doesn't eat bread at all. I appreciate your asking my opinion SB. I wish you and your Dad well.
I've been seeing a boatload of so-called KETO foods/products pop up everywhere I shop for groceries and I have yet to buy any, they are not KETO friendly based on their ingredients, go figure, just more lying for the sake of the almighty dollar! Just because some jerk decided to put "KETO" on the label doesn't mean a damned thing, "buyer beware" cannot be stressed enough when it comes to KETO! One that I saw the other day that had me ROFL was KETO Granola! Read those labels, folks!
I've been pre diabetic for several years now and even before being diagnosed as such, I noticed that I had extreme thirst for no apparent reason. I suspected a blood sugar problem and the doctor confirmed it. High thirst is an indication of it , even if it's not constant. Mine is dependent on what and how much of certain things I eat. Now a couple of months ago I saw a yogurt drink that claimed to have no sugar. I bought it and had about half of it, even though it tasted very sweet to me. Now other times when I had extreme thirst ,it went away in several hours or at the most, 4- 7 days. This drink has allulous ( not sure how it's spelled) . My extreme thirst lasted one month. I was afraid I had become diabetic. I had to cut everything out of my diet that might raise sugar. Thank God that I was able to restore my condition back to pre diabetes. God helped me again and I'm grateful to him.
To me it tasted much like the Lewis white bread. I don't know about the ingredients and I buy the Aldi's because of price. But I will test my blood sugar readings when I get a chance.
I have a loaf of the keto bread with the black label. I don't trust that it's as keto friendly as it claims to be, largely because it has so many ingredients. It's low carb friendly, but it's definitely not clean keto. Personally, that doesn't bother me, as I do dirty keto. What matters to me is carb counting, as my main reason for doing keto is weight loss. This for me falls under an in moderation treat. I freeze my bread in ziplock baggies with two slices each. As a trucker, easy, on the go options help me to stay accountable. I live in my truck full time, so I don't have some of the luxuries that many people take for granted when it comes to food prep, cooking, and dish washing. I did find a 4 ingredient keto bread microwavable recipe recently, and am planning to try it when my loaf runs out since this has things in it that aren't very good for keto.
Thanks Steve! I love the taste and texture of the Lewis products, but it really spikes my BG. (BTW I add a little pineapple or orange flavor to the PSMF bread and it tastes like the Hawaiian buns. )
@@carboholickim I watch everything Nili puts out as soon as it hits the web. I have for over 2 yrs for sure. Nili is a champion kitchen science guru!! Brilliant! I was asking what modifications the commenter had specifically done to improve her version. Everyone gets different inspirations.
I just started using the Signos CGM last week and have been amazed at the data I am receiving. It's been interesting to see how things I THOUGHT would be an issue are not, and things that I thought would NOT be an issue ARE. So eye-opening!
O great! I’ve been eating the Lewis bread every once in a while. So I guess I need do a test on my glucose like Steve did especially since I’m diabetic. The Lewis bread also has Hawaiian rolls. And they are super soft & sweet tasting like the original Hawaiian sweet rolls!!My husband loves the Lewis rolls, but now I’m concerned about my glucose levels after eating that bread. I will definitely to testing on it.
@@marlenegold280 yes I do but I only test fasting in the morning & late afternoon. But I’ve dealt with a few spikes lately and it never crossed my mind it was some bread I had ate. In 2 months time I’ve had total rotary cuff surgery & then I got Covid and it has played havoc with my sugar numbers. No matter how strict I’ve been. My husband & I did carnivore 6 weeks before my surgery and it did wonders until I got Covid and ever since my numbers has not been good and I’m strict keto and do total of 20 carbs not net. My Dr said it’s not a surprise several of his diabetic patients are struggling after having Covid. But I’m really curious if that bread is not helping the matter.?
@@Grany4 All grains should be avoided. Grains are bread, buns, crackers, whole grains, gluten and gluten free products, wheat, corn, rice, pasta/noodles Also avoid fruit, legumes, tubers like potatoes Dairy (milk), starchy vegetables, Avoid processed seed oils, margarine, shortening as they are inflammatory. No processed foods No keto products Stick to meats, eggs, low carb non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats.
Thanks! Good info. I have pretty much swore off bread for the majority of my keto journey. Lots of meat, cruciferous vegetables abd the like. Every once in a while I will eat a bread sandwich or something, but that’s about it.
Since you’re a fan of kings Hawaiian bread you’ll really have to make some time in your recipe making to make a combined version of indigo nelli’s butter buns 2.0 adding the flavoring from Carnivore Angels sweet Hawaiian roll video. Makes 8 hamburger buns in that flexible mesh hamburger pan. You’ll be surprised.😊
I didn’t think it was sweet at all. Not even close to hawaiian bread. I know many like her hawaiian bread, but I think they have been eating keto bread too long. Not even close. Maybe it just needs more sweetener. Be curious if steve can improve the taste. Even with the pineapple extract it wasn’t close. Just a lot of wasted ingredients in the trash again. Kiss My Keto is the best so far as toast, but its not hawaiian.
I buy the last one.. I'm not diabetic so it's all about keeping carbs down.. it's around 5.50 to 6.oo$ so pretty expensive for me, but I love it. If I was diabetic it would be a different story. I do have the other bread you tested in my Amazon bucket.. I'll be eating both. My hubby who doesn't eat low carb at all likes the brownberry keto bread too.. so just to keep him a bit lower in carbs (he eats a lot of bread and toast) I like having it in the fridge.
Have you ever tried Uprising Foods very healthy keto bread? I don’t love the texture but it’s super healthy and very clean ingredients- their chips are really good too but expensive- only available online . In a regular basis in the freezer section of grocery stores- Base Culture breads are good TOASTED!
Thank you so much for doing these I have almost bought those breads many times but the ingredients were eh ill stick with psmf and sometimes sola and smart buns
I went to Olive Garden few days ago...they use soy oil for there breads and use seed oils for cooking. I talked to the chief and asked him to used butter for grilling my salmon and asparagus. I was some what taken back they used those cooking products, beware !
Sara Lee DeLightful white bread. 2 slices per serving, 90 calories 18 grams of carbs per serving. So I stay under 20 carbs and I can still have my grilled cheese or tuna or fried egg sandwich once a day. Or toast with my breakfast. It's about $3.00 around here for me which is on par with other name brand breads. They also have other styles of bread in the DeLightfuls line, whole wheat, honey wheat etc.
All of the commercial bread that I have tried tends to have this nasty powdery texture left on the tongue after a bite, whether it is toasted/buttered or made into a grilled cheese. I've tried six or more kinds now, and not a single one of them is "keto". However, the Brownberry bread, even though it is not something I have often-- maybe once a week-- does not have the powdery coating left on my tongue like the others, which is why I keep a loaf of it in the freezer.
Thanks for the review Steve. This helps me in my choices. I agree with you if I was the buyer and saw those ingredients listed these breads would be a no, no.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lewis Bake Shop Healthy Life Keto Bread!!! I can't find it at Walmart, though. My local rural grocery has it, otherwise I'd have to order it online. I always toast it and butter it. It's so good I don't miss regular bread at all! The hotdog and hamburger buns are great too! My favorites are the 0g carb Hawaiian and Cinnamon flavors. I also love the 5 Seed, but it's 1g carb per slice. It doesn't hinder my weight loss at all. And I'm sure that if you eat it with protein and fats that's going to slow the absorption and minimize any spikes.
@@stamatispelekanos650 Awesome! I'm one of the many people who gets severe diarrhea on keto, especially if I use heavy cream in coffee or a Keto Chow shake - but heavy cream doesn't bother me when I'm not on Keto. But if I eat a couple of pieces of the Healthy Life Keto Bread, I have no diarrhea at all. I guess it's the fiber that helps. I saw one of the keto gurus, a doctor, say that if you get diarrhea on Keto, it's because you have a very deep kind of inflammation. I say BS. I was on Keto for 14 months, so any inflammation was corrected. Now I've been off of it for two weeks, but eating pretty healthy, and had zero diarrhea. I will start back on Keto tomorrow. Sorry if that's TMI.
@@stamatispelekanos650 Wow! Thank you so much for telling me that! Mine can be so bad I have to keep a change of clothes in my car if I don't eat the bread. 😂 So it makes me mad when certain Keto police try to forbid the bread.
Blood glucose stability is a marker of metabolic health. Monitoring glucose isn’t the exclusive domain of diabetics. In fact, if more people cared about their blood glucose, I would argue that we wouldn’t have nearly as many people developing type 2 diabetes.
Thanks for the video. I too have found soy products to cause me pain. Thanks for your observations, since I have tried some of your suggestions on myself to see if they are true for me. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have found that Soy is a trigger for me.
Very good experiments. I think it also matters where we they are in their journey. Transitionally, someone just switching over from heavy carb diets may feel better from these types of bread. While someone having been in nutritional ketosis for a while may not feel as good.
So interesting I was wondering if you had tested this and of course you had. I discovered Lewes bread in another town since we didn’t have it here. I love it and it never even registers on my cgm. Any of the flavors no response. I stock up and save the ends for hot dog buns. They make buns but the ends are nice and thin which I like. Very interesting that you spiked on Hawaiian. There are so many things that don’t spike you but send my glucose through the roof. We are all so different. I love my cgm. BTW their seed bread is my absolute favorite. Thanks for the review. I didn’t remember seeing it before.
I am a T2 and I have not found a single "keto" bread that does not spike me just about the same as normal bread. Aldi's Fit and Active 45 cal bread acts exactly the same to my blood sugar as the keto bread. Bread is thee hardest thing for me to give up. Would be so nice to have a real keto bread that was really non-spiking. Net carbs pretty much mean nothing. I've tried so many homemade low carb/keto bread recipes and even created some, but the problem is that eating any bread... low carb also... causes weight gain for me. Hard to find a way to enjoy life without bread of some sort. I haven't yet.

Oh you just broke my heart! I've been purchasing and enjoying this bread for the past year. Weight went from 172 to 138 in that year. It was the only thing that has help me survive a low carb lifestyle!
If you're enjoying the bread and it's not causing you issues, then it's your call if you want to keep eating it. I'm just one data point.
think for yourself lmao
This bread helps my husband and I with keto as well. I don't know if it is hindering us at all, but it sure is nice to have "bread"! I love the cinnamon version toasted with a small amount of Mara Natha brand peanut butter and a drizzle of Walden Farms maple flavored syrup.
I just saw this stuff grocery shopping YESTERDAY. Took one look at the ingredients list, laughed, and tossed it back.
Imagine making "keto" food and not expecting your keto customers to read the label.
Exactly!
Half the population doesn't have to care about the soy, but I think it gets eggaterated too.
Yeah! I agree with you about the crappy ingredients in keto breads. Waste of $
@@jujuapple6706
I spent a year on strict keto. The homemade bread alts were all disgusting. If someone on keto really wanted bread I'd say go for it. I think the fears over soy are a little overblown. Still problems yes, but overblown.
I hate when the macros don’t add up…as if we can’t count 🤣
Just wanted to let everyone know that if you haven't ordered from ChipMonk Baking before, do it! I just placed an order a little while ago and David, I believe he's the CEO, actually sent me a personalized video thanking me for making the purchase. I thought that was so cool and thoughtful. No other company has ever done that before. I have gotten handwritten thank you notes, but never a personal thank you video.
ChipMonk is top notch. They love their customers and they set an amazing example for customer service. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@SeriousKeto Have you done a test on Chipmonks breads!
@@pawsjo1713 Yes please!
At this point if I see "resistant" anything on the ingredients list it's an automatic no.
"It doesn't taste like anything I've had in nature." That's why I love your video reviews, Steve! You are so honest!
Yay nature
I'm Type II with a typical A1c of 6-6.5 and tested two slices of the Healthy Life white bread last year. I got a 50-60 pt spike... confirming once again my theory that "resistant starch" is total woo-woo.
Same with me. Carbohydrate = sugar where my body is concerned.
I LOOOOOVE white bread. In fact, Im kind of a white bread snob. The Lewis bread that you tried first is so close to regular white bread that I cant tell the difference when on a sandwich. Even tho you got a spike from it, it has helped me lose around 30lbs so far.
(I think the Hawaiian is gross, though.)
It always surprises me when something that is supposed to be keto-friendly has wheat as one of the first ingredients. I eat low-carb because I have an allergy to all starches. I would not be able to touch the breads you reviewed. That being said, thank you for reviewing them because now I know not to waste my money on them. :)
This is why I don’t buy anything labeled keto. Many businesses will jump in the trend for profit and care nothing about integrity. Your best bet is to eat whole unprocessed foods that are keto
One of the first things I do, since finding out about my food allergies (wheat being the main one and a big cause of inflammation for me) is checking ingredients...never fooled by the hype on the packaging. Keto has helped and IF even more! Here's to your healing journey...love your channel, Steve!
Some keto bread has corn fiber in them
because most keto havers arent allergic
My son is a type 1 and I can tell you that every single "keto" bread blows up his glucose. He has to give himself the same amount of insulin as if he was eating plain old white bread.
Thanks for sharing that.
Make your low carb bread. It’s very easy. Google some recipes. Cheers!
Same!!! Gave me a 70pt spike for one slice!!!
surrreeeeeeeeeeeeee
Steve! I love these type of videos !
It’s so shady they can legally put 0 net carbs on something and cause that much of a spike!
I am Canadian and don’t have focus or keto mojo. Only a plain blood glucose monitor. I am Canadian so I am familiar with Mmol vs the points Americans use. I’m not diabetic but I think it’s like 4-7 points that’s normal. Would you have any idea how big a spike in mmol would be considered insignificant vs moderate ? Maybe like 2/10’s of a point?
Btw I pronounce it tumor-ic too. I’ve never heard anyone pronounce the “r”. It’s like necklace, very few people say it how it’s spelled. Everyone says neckless.
oh man, having a CGM to do this sort of thing makes it all so much less painful and bleed-y. First time I did something like this I ended up with massive pile of glucose strips and a bunch of fingers that hurt for the next 3 days.
Less bleedy = more betterer 😉
You have your lancet set to go too deep 👍
My lancet is set at 2, but I was testing every 15 minutes when trying new foods just to see where spikes were, anf how long they lasted. Gave that nonsense up!
@@leslieholland7843 15 mins is too early... 30/60/90....I wouldn't even test at 2 hrs like they suggest. It's almost a given your numbers will be down by then.
Don't eat any factory packaged food. That's pig slop.
Thank you Steve, for taking the hit and keeping us well informed. Appreciate this very much.
Thanks for taking the time to compare these breads. I eat the low carb bread from Sola and while it might not feel/taste like Wonder Bread, it serves it purpose of being bookends to what I have in the middle. 😁
I am with you in that I preferred darker breads such as wheat, rye, pumpernickel, etc. when I ate bread (over 5 years ago). My downfall on the bread was the Hawaiian rolls and homemade bread (I used to be very good at baking bread). I keep some commercial keto bread in the freezer in case I have a craving, that doesn't happen too often. Your testing is very informative and definitely helps me make decisions on bread products.
Carnivore’s Angel YT channel (Amy Bellinder) has a GREAT Hawaiian Roll recipe and technique that uses real eggs and less egg white powder. Love it!
After 4 years of being on a Low Carb Program and losing over 30#s If it tastes too good it probably isn't. Thanks for your Testing and I will avoid these. On another note I would love to see the same sort of test on the Brownie Box mix being sold at Costco...again tastes too good to be good.
I've made the Indigo Nili version of the Maria Emmerich egg white bread and have come to prefer that for any "bread" needs. These commercial breads are just too expensive with sketchy ingredients...
Yeah, once I work through my supply of Kiss My Keto bread, I'll go back to making the Indigo Nili bread. She's done really good stuff with that recipe.
@@SeriousKeto I love her bread, just bought the baguette and bun molds based on what she has done.
@@SeriousKeto do you add the acacia fiber powder or butter powder or beef gelatin?
@@eagercrafter_9014 the bun mold is great-except sort of a pain to clean. I use it weekly to make sandwich rolls for my husband’s lunch.
I also use the 2KK protein bread recipe that uses Keto chow Chicken Soup base. I’ve also used the beef soup base with same great results.
I've tried the egg white bread twice with poor results. Next I'm going to try the Indigp Nili version but I have to buy more ingredients. I have more confidence in what she does and it's good to hear others seem to like hers too. Think it's a plan.
Thank you once again for doing all the research into these breads for us!
You have done so many videos on bread that you should make a spread sheet comparing all the data. I would happily pay to done load that. Not that I couldn't go through your videos and do it, but I would rather just pay for it!
I eat 2 slices of the Lewis bread every day. My test was drastically different from yours. Preface, I am 70, type 2 diabetic and insulin resistant, taking 100 MG metforman twice daily. My starting glucose was 114, 1 hour later it was 120 and 116 at two. I don't notice more or less joint pain. I love your reviews and use them when choosing low carb foods.. Thanks for the test, this demonstrates to me that data can be very different with different people and circumstances.
Thanks a million!
I think the metformin makes a difference.
@@suziegrandma I believe you are right. I am happy I don't have to give up my bread because that is the one thing I find hard to give up. Sugar, potatoes & pasta I gave up or found comparable substitutes.
Test after 3-4 hours too.
The spike can happen later.
The smallest dose of metformin is 500 mg, I believe.
I eat 5 slices of the zero carb Lewis bread daily. I've been on Keto for 5 months, and so far I've lost 48 lbs. I'm not diabetic, but I started my journey at 307 lbs. So, I was pre-diabetic. My new doctor did my blood-work and said my sugar is "normal", and my cholesterol is "good". (This was right around Valentine's Day). I think it depends on the person as to how one's body reacts. I admit I use it as a crutch. But, when I started Keto on August 30, 2021, I had someone drop me off in front of whatever store I needed to shop in. If there weren't any electronic shopping carts, I'd call them to come and pick me back up. Now, I drive myself to the store. I never use an electronic cart, and I walk all over the store without needing a rest break.
Wow this is REALLY shady how they can advertise a food at "keto" and it's not really keto. Glad there are people out here like you testing these products. Makes you wonder about everything you buy at the store, is "grass fed" actually grass fed?
OMG when you squished it into a ball "like Wonderbread" I relived second grade lunch time. 🤣🤣
While I do not monitor my glucose I definitely steer clear of most every kind of bread on the market. The only kind of bread so to speak that I eat are cauliflower rounds from Trader Joe's. Anything with wheat or soy is inflammatory and I Don't Go near it. This video was awesome and just backs up my feelings about it. My body has instant inflammation with any kind of wheat or soy! Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for doing this. I didn't even know Walmart sold Keto bread.
Can you interpret the data a bit Steve? Meaning, "the blood glucose spike"? Does that mean you're knocked out of ketosis? I don't have the inflammation reaction to those ingredients and am not a zealot about dirty keto. 2 slices, maybe, in a week, usually on a very Chef'y (Kerrygold butter, fancy deli cut cheeses, flake salt in the butter) grilled cheese with the Lewis plain is next level! Also, do you have a category "Top 10" type of list; like which store bought bread do you recommend? Thanks!
I have to tell you. I had bought the Lewis Healthy Life Keto Bread 2 days ago. That night I made for dinner 2 slices toasted. Then I spread half of a small Hass Avacado on top. On top of one toast I put scrambled egg and top the other toast with a soft boiled egg. By morning I did not feel good at all. Trying to figure it out I tested my glucose and it was 130. My chest hurt and my glucose stayed at 130 for hours before it started to come back down some...115. I drank 2 glasses of water forced myself to exercise and go walking. My husband walked with me concerned. Then I saw this video and I felt so betrayed by Lewis Co. for using bad ingredients that actually are bad for people. Thank you for caring and help weeding out (false products) as I call it.
Thank You, Bless you and your family.
I agree. This bread spikes my blood sugar more than regular bread!!!! Plus I would rather eat real bread. Low carb tortillas are actually low carb so I assumed these were actually keto also but nope. To think of all the times I overpaid for this fake bread before testing my blood sugar. Now I feel so betrayed.
Always read the ingredients.
The Brownberry is called Oroweat where I am. Same exact packaging. I really like it. Too much probably. Toasted with butter and natural peanut butter. Mmm! I try not to buy it very often. Thanks for your reviews.
Me too, that is the way I like it. ..once in awhile.
Walmart Purchasing Exec: "Please God and Baby Jesus, make Steve misplace his CGM..."
Appreciate the testing & information you provide in doing the reviews.
I don't buy anything without reading the ingredient list. I also have to go by total carbs because I've found they all count for me.
Have a blessed day!
Thank you for the review Steve. I especially appreciate your comments on your inflammation. Keto has been as much about weight loss as inflammation and other markers for me if not more.
Thanks Steve! I've tried all three of those breads and agree with your assessment of the taste. I'm a type 2 diabetic and I got even a higher spike than you - around 50 points.
That's one of the reasons I do these tests. I figure if I spike, it's safe for a T2D to assume they will experience something even worse. Thanks for confirming.
Same here.. 50-60 pt spike with two slices of Healthy Life white.
I've been Keto for 6 years now and have tried just about every "Keto" bread on the market (and just about every other Keto product for that matter). This video affirms my experience that Keto bread is not a "set it and forget it" Keto food item when it comes to reliance on net carb theory. I've experienced the same with Carb Smart tortillas as well. I tell all people who go Keto to test, test, and test some more when it comes to different kinds of food. Make notes of what works best for you regarding glucose spike management. You will also find that everyone is a little different. What might spike my blood sugar, may not spike yours, and vice versa. Conversely, some foods you think for sure will spike you don't, while others you think are safe do. The same caution regarding net carb theory should also be applied to Keto sweets, in my experience. An interesting variable you could add to the bread tests is take a glucose reading with eating the bread alone, then add a protein to it and test again. I realize that is a sandwich test, but the protein sometimes helps to temper the spike. You may have already done some of this on other videos. Enjoy your content.
Yep, I agree with all of that.
I agree with that. I'm currently more low carb than keto, and started with Atkins over 20 years ago. But, I will incorporate other things when they work for me.
Years ago, Dreamfields pasta promoted themselves as having a proprietary method of suppressing glucose spikes, although their carb count is pretty high. I've tested, and for me, Dreamfields works. But, I still want to try both Steve and Keto Asian's pasta when I can afford the specialty ingredients.
Definitely test, test, test if someone wants to give the Dreamfields a try.
Pray over food, then eat

That bread is fine for me. I like it. I've lost 40 pounds in the last four months incorporating this bread into my low carb lifestyle.
That’s awesome!
I like the keto bread from Lewis also. I believe my favorite is the white but the Hawaiian is ok too. I've lost 60 lbs on the low carb, lazy keto diet and am on maintenence now.
I lose weight using keto bread, but while on keto, I really don't eat much anyway.
Same for me. They have a Cinnamon kind that is delicious.
I love the "5 seed" version. Toasts well for my morning eggs.😁👍
Once I tried Franz keto bread and had such bad stomach issues I was afraid to try any other bread. I make indigo Nili butter buns all the time. They are so good. Sticking with that right now.
I want to give her recipe a try.
Thanks Steve. My husband will eat breads with wheat gluten and I won't. We don't have any of those breads at our Walmart, but I ordered some kiss my keto bread for him to try. Thanks again for the heads up
What the heck is dough conditioners???
You're breaking my heart, I love the Hawaiian bread. I'm more dirty keto. Sigh...Oh well to each his own.
Dirty keto it good when you're just maintaining.
I can't remember what bread worked for me 2 years ago!
I don't know what bread to eat now. Help!
Have you tested the sugar rise after eating a regular Costco croissant? Also effects on ketones? To my surprise after eating one with butter, two cups of coffee with heavy cream, my blood sugar rise was only 17 points. Just curious if that is a good weekend breakfast treat for the diabetic folks, although the total carbs are 26 gms, fiber 2 gms and sugar 6 gms, total calories 330.
(Harry here) Yeah, we bought our share of store-bought keto bread in the beginning and all I can say is "We make our own bread" I understand why your blood sugar count went up. Yeah, the ingredients of this bread is nuts. I unlike you love white bread In fact, I'm on my way to the kitchen to have a slice right now. It took a long time to come up with a bread that really comes close to white bread, in fact, today is a hamburger day and I'm using buns that wendy made for the hamburger bun. So watching this video was FANTASTIC because it just updates my knowledge on buying keto bread. Thanks . Oh yeah, when you said cotton seed oil I gringed.
Would you share the recipe xoxoxo
Would you be willing to share the bread recipe?
Hey Harry! Just getting ready to mention you guys! I know you have bread recipes that use different ingredients according to your needs which is great, so people don't give up, you will find the one you like if you keep trying because the effort is worth it to find a recipe you will eat forever and know its good for you and won't cause you pain. So thanks to all you bread gurus out there and those who test bread for us like Serious Keto.
So, you are saying your own home-made bread recipes do not spike or consistently raise your blood sugar?
I have been thinking of buying a bread maker. Reading reviews now, on the best for gluten free, and low carb breads. I guess some handle these recipes better than others.
I've only had the Brownberry, and it was so boring I thought I was eating printer paper. I threw it out. I'd much rather make small amounts of coconut & almond flour recipes from Chef Duff or Google. Literally all of them are better than this bread.
Hahaha, I loved the "squish test"! When we were growing up in the 1950's, the boys always squished pieces of their white lunch bread into little grey (dirty hands) dough balls before eating it. I thought it was just to freak out the girls, but my husband says no, the bread just tasted better that way!
We made flowers and jewelry with Wonder Bread. Just think what it did to our intestines!
I squished my bread, too, but first I pulled off the crust in one long piece and made a tight roll out of it and then squished the white part. Long time ago, I'm 75
@@elisabethseaton6521 Haha, I'm 75 as well. Those were the days, eh?
Which bread to buy then?
I've heard base culture keto bread is good, it's frozen but $9.95.
I'm getting a bit lazy with cooking and I'm not a big fan of chaffles. I know the breads aren't great but for the occasional cheese toasty or blt i don't think it matters that much. Thank you for testing the bread-always good to know the facts.
Arnold has keto breads, buns and rolls that are pretty tasty. I’m not at all concerned with the ingredients and go on macros and taste.
Yep 100%. These people that hyper micro manage are just obsessed and body watch 24/7
Weight is coming off me good eating these breads and feeling so much better.
Just no way to be "Perfect" and live forever. I have family who were strict organic Vegans and got cancer. It's life.
You are spot on about the bad oils in the breads, also another really bad ingredient is wheat protein isolate. Any of the protein isolates are excitotoxins, which destroy brain cells. I also don't like the glucose spikes. Thank you for this video, it was eye opening.
What is your opinion on Dave's Sprouted bread for my 86 yr old father?
@@mphsb Hello. The ingredients indicate organic grains but I don't like the canola oil in the Dave's bread because canola oil is another bad oil. The marketing for canola oil sells it as "heart healthy" but it is inflammatory. I would suggest you bake some Keto bread for your Dad. There are so many videos for good Keto bread. The ingredients are so much better for the body - almond flour, coconut flour, avocado or coconut oil. The idea is to keep the inflammation down. My mom is 86 too. She has had type II diabetes for years but keeps it under control via diet and Berberine supplements. She doesn't eat bread at all. I appreciate your asking my opinion SB. I wish you and your Dad well.

I've been seeing a boatload of so-called KETO foods/products pop up everywhere I shop for groceries and I have yet to buy any, they are not KETO friendly based on their ingredients, go figure, just more lying for the sake of the almighty dollar! Just because some jerk decided to put "KETO" on the label doesn't mean a damned thing, "buyer beware" cannot be stressed enough when it comes to KETO! One that I saw the other day that had me ROFL was KETO Granola! Read those labels, folks!
Once again, Thanks for doing these comparisons, Steve!!!
I've been pre diabetic for several years now and even before being diagnosed as such, I noticed that I had extreme thirst for no apparent reason. I suspected a blood sugar problem and the doctor confirmed it. High thirst is an indication of it , even if it's not constant. Mine is dependent on what and how much of certain things I eat. Now a couple of months ago I saw a yogurt drink that claimed to have no sugar. I bought it and had about half of it, even though it tasted very sweet to me. Now other times when I had extreme thirst ,it went away in several hours or at the most, 4- 7 days. This drink has allulous ( not sure how it's spelled) . My extreme thirst lasted one month. I was afraid I had become diabetic. I had to cut everything out of my diet that might raise sugar. Thank God that I was able to restore my condition back to pre diabetes. God helped me again and I'm grateful to him.
They redid the net zero bread from Aldi and it is so much softer, they also made a white bread!
Good info. Thanks
To me it tasted much like the Lewis white bread. I don't know about the ingredients and I buy the Aldi's because of price. But I will test my blood sugar readings when I get a chance.
@@Busterboo56 Steve tested these awhile back and that is why I use them...no idea about a bread called Lewis, must be a regional thing
I have a loaf of the keto bread with the black label. I don't trust that it's as keto friendly as it claims to be, largely because it has so many ingredients. It's low carb friendly, but it's definitely not clean keto. Personally, that doesn't bother me, as I do dirty keto. What matters to me is carb counting, as my main reason for doing keto is weight loss. This for me falls under an in moderation treat. I freeze my bread in ziplock baggies with two slices each. As a trucker, easy, on the go options help me to stay accountable. I live in my truck full time, so I don't have some of the luxuries that many people take for granted when it comes to food prep, cooking, and dish washing. I did find a 4 ingredient keto bread microwavable recipe recently, and am planning to try it when my loaf runs out since this has things in it that aren't very good for keto.
Thanks Steve! I love the taste and texture of the Lewis products, but it really spikes my BG. (BTW I add a little pineapple or orange flavor to the PSMF bread and it tastes like the Hawaiian buns. )
Didn,t shop at Walmart, especially FOOD of any kind

And they are super soft & sweet tasting like the original Hawaiian sweet rolls!!My husband loves the Lewis rolls, but now I’m concerned about my glucose levels after eating that bread. I will definitely to testing on it.

@@marlenegold280 yes I do but I only test fasting in the morning & late afternoon. But I’ve dealt with a few spikes lately and it never crossed my mind it was some bread I had ate.

My husband & I did carnivore 6 weeks before my surgery and it did wonders until I got Covid and ever since my numbers has not been good and I’m strict keto and do total of 20 carbs not net.

Since you’re a fan of kings Hawaiian bread you’ll really have to make some time in your recipe making to make a combined version of indigo nelli’s butter buns 2.0 adding the flavoring from Carnivore Angels sweet Hawaiian roll video. Makes 8 hamburger buns in that flexible mesh hamburger pan. You’ll be surprised.😊
okay
I didn’t think it was sweet at all. Not even close to hawaiian bread. I know many like her hawaiian bread, but I think they have been eating keto bread too long. Not even close. Maybe it just needs more sweetener. Be curious if steve can improve the taste. Even with the pineapple extract it wasn’t close. Just a lot of wasted ingredients in the trash again. Kiss My Keto is the best so far as toast, but its not hawaiian.
@@iaayj9114 I added 2 tbs. Of powdered monk fruit sweetener and I used lorann pineapple oil which is very concentrated. I’d try the recipe again.
I buy the last one.. I'm not diabetic so it's all about keeping carbs down.. it's around 5.50 to 6.oo$ so pretty expensive for me, but I love it. If I was diabetic it would be a different story. I do have the other bread you tested in my Amazon bucket.. I'll be eating both. My hubby who doesn't eat low carb at all likes the brownberry keto bread too.. so just to keep him a bit lower in carbs (he eats a lot of bread and toast) I like having it in the fridge.
I have not eaten bread for last five years, best decision of my life.
Thank you for this review! It was very beneficial to me.
Definitely a difference when bread is made by people who actually understand the Keto concept. I have been making PSMF bread. It seems to work for me.
Have you ever tried Uprising Foods very healthy keto bread?
I don’t love the texture but it’s super healthy and very clean ingredients- their chips are really good too but expensive- only available online .
In a regular basis in the freezer section of grocery stores-
Base Culture breads are good TOASTED!
I'm not familiar with that brand.
Suggestion: instead of trying items with "bad" ingredients in them, how about trying and comparing items with good, natural ingredients in them?
Could you please review the low carb tortillas? Thank you
At some point, I will
Thank you so much for doing these I have almost bought those breads many times but the ingredients were eh ill stick with psmf and sometimes sola and smart buns
I went to Olive Garden few days ago...they use soy oil for there breads and use seed oils for cooking. I talked to the chief and asked him to used butter for grilling my salmon and asparagus. I was some what taken back they used those cooking products, beware !
That's good to know.
Loved “It’s not a tuma”! Am enjoying bread again since discovering Indigo Nili’s egg whites bread.
I love your shirt! Good video. Most commercial keto bread has soybean oils.
Sara Lee DeLightful white bread. 2 slices per serving, 90 calories 18 grams of carbs per serving. So I stay under 20 carbs and I can still have my grilled cheese or tuna or fried egg sandwich once a day. Or toast with my breakfast. It's about $3.00 around here for me which is on par with other name brand breads. They also have other styles of bread in the DeLightfuls line, whole wheat, honey wheat etc.
You're the man, God Bless!
Good to know. Ingredients are very important. I’ll be staying away.
All of the commercial bread that I have tried tends to have this nasty powdery texture left on the tongue after a bite, whether it is toasted/buttered or made into a grilled cheese. I've tried six or more kinds now, and not a single one of them is "keto". However, the Brownberry bread, even though it is not something I have often-- maybe once a week-- does not have the powdery coating left on my tongue like the others, which is why I keep a loaf of it in the freezer.
Thanks for the review Steve. This helps me in my choices. I agree with you if I was the buyer and saw those ingredients listed these breads would be a no, no.
Thanks Steve for all your hard work. Thanks again Jennifer 🤩
Very informative as well. And love learning how a cgm works before actually purchasing one!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lewis Bake Shop Healthy Life Keto Bread!!! I can't find it at Walmart, though. My local rural grocery has it, otherwise I'd have to order it online. I always toast it and butter it. It's so good I don't miss regular bread at all! The hotdog and hamburger buns are great too!
My favorites are the 0g carb Hawaiian and Cinnamon flavors. I also love the 5 Seed, but it's 1g carb per slice.
It doesn't hinder my weight loss at all. And I'm sure that if you eat it with protein and fats that's going to slow the absorption and minimize any spikes.

But if I eat a couple of pieces of the Healthy Life Keto Bread, I have no diarrhea at all. I guess it's the fiber that helps.
I saw one of the keto gurus, a doctor, say that if you get diarrhea on Keto, it's because you have a very deep kind of inflammation. I say BS. I was on Keto for 14 months, so any inflammation was corrected. Now I've been off of it for two weeks, but eating pretty healthy, and had zero diarrhea. I will start back on Keto tomorrow. Sorry if that's TMI.
@@photina78 Thanks for your reply!!!! I definitely get diarrhea on keto. The fiber in this bread definitely helps me with that.
@@stamatispelekanos650 Wow! Thank you so much for telling me that! Mine can be so bad I have to keep a change of clothes in my car if I don't eat the bread. 😂 So it makes me mad when certain Keto police try to forbid the bread.
This is my first time watching your videos, don’t understand why you wear a CGM if you are not diabetic - please help.
Blood glucose stability is a marker of metabolic health. Monitoring glucose isn’t the exclusive domain of diabetics. In fact, if more people cared about their blood glucose, I would argue that we wouldn’t have nearly as many people developing type 2 diabetes.
Thank you.
Very interesting Steve. I’m very appreciative for all you do!
Gosh, try Extraordinary Bites in the frozen section. It’s alll I eat
They don’t carry it at any Walmart near me, unfortunately.
I like the Aunt Millie's bread
Thanks for the video. I too have found soy products to cause me pain. Thanks for your observations, since I have tried some of your suggestions on myself to see if they are true for me. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have found that Soy is a trigger for me.
Glad it was helpful!
Our favorite keto breads are sola and Arnold. We don’t eat a lot of it but nice for a toasted bit.
I had a pretty positive review of Sola, especially since they quit using soybean oil.
Not shopping at Walmart anymore since they want to pay for abortion travel expenses.
Then you won't need to worry about this bread.
Very good experiments. I think it also matters where we they are in their journey. Transitionally, someone just switching over from heavy carb diets may feel better from these types of bread. While someone having been in nutritional ketosis for a while may not feel as good.
Wow! That Hank Hill voiceover was on point. Wait! Did you originally do voiceover for Hank Hill??🥰
"That bread's not right." in the Hank Hill voice was awesome, haha! Thanks for the smiles and all the good info!
Thank you for all the testing you do!! I was wondering if you could do one on the LovinFresh White Keto-Friendly bread from Aldi's?
And Joseph's Lavash Bread? (Please) :)
I can't figure out your shirt slogan means...?
So, garbage. Thanks.
So interesting I was wondering if you had tested this and of course you had. I discovered Lewes bread in another town since we didn’t have it here. I love it and it never even registers on my cgm. Any of the flavors no response. I stock up and save the ends for hot dog buns. They make buns but the ends are nice and thin which I like. Very interesting that you spiked on Hawaiian. There are so many things that don’t spike you but send my glucose through the roof. We are all so different. I love my cgm. BTW their seed bread is my absolute favorite. Thanks for the review. I didn’t remember seeing it before.
They sure do love them some soybean oil at the industrial food like substance factories. It's like Frank's Hot Sauce...they put that in everything.
I think all of the sauces at Buffalo Wild Wings too. 😒
Another funny shirt 😆 That's what.
I am a T2 and I have not found a single "keto" bread that does not spike me just about the same as normal bread. Aldi's Fit and Active 45 cal bread acts exactly the same to my blood sugar as the keto bread. Bread is thee hardest thing for me to give up. Would be so nice to have a real keto bread that was really non-spiking. Net carbs pretty much mean nothing. I've tried so many homemade low carb/keto bread recipes and even created some, but the problem is that eating any bread... low carb also... causes weight gain for me. Hard to find a way to enjoy life without bread of some sort. I haven't yet.
In English...ENGLAND UK it is Tumeric the way you pronounced it originally.
