Just thought I'd run this past you all to see what you think...
Tonight I spent a good half hour going through each and every loaf of bread at the local Shaws supermarket. I managed to find one brand that is surprizingly low in carbs:
Country Kitchen Light, Oatmeal Bread

I'm on OWL and determined to eat bread again. I tried making mhampton's recipe. Three times I tried, and three times I failed (but I will try again). Even if I bothered eating the 1"-2" loafs I ended up with, I still calculated the net carbs to be about 6-8g per slice.
The loaf above is 6g net carbs, and way less time to prepare.
What do you think? Is there anything in the ingredient list that throws up red flags? Seems to good to be true. FYI, they also make a Whole Wheat loaf which has the same net carbs (but probably different in other nutritional info).
