Well, either you're doing atkins, or you're not. So either you eat what you're allowed, or not. Grains aren't allowed until the end.

Personally, I think whole wheat bread is the devil- but I have a wheat allergy. The fact is, most low carb substitutes will be more nutritious than a half a slice of whole wheat bread.

If you want small doses of the bad stuff right off the hop, and regularly, you should be questioning whether or not you're actually commited to this as a way of eating, or thinking of it as a temporary fix.
