Dieters often complain, with good reason, that they miss some of their favorite foods. Some foods may have sugars, so those are out. Many others may be loaded with unwanted carbs, so those are out. Bread is often mentioned as the one item that dieters miss. Sandwiches, biscuits, rolls-all are usually forbidden on any of the top diet plans. That’s why we were thrilled to find a product called Carbquick.
This is not a carb-free product. It does greatly reduce that amount of carbohydrates that you eat and allows you to have some bread while still following your diet plan. If you are on a keto diet, this is probably not a good product for you until you are about 4 weeks into your plan. Atkins dieters can use this in a limited way after the first 2 weeks of your meal plan.
For some people, breakfast will never ever be complete without toast or biscuits. You want to let the butter melt, then top off the bread with your preferred topping. Using Carbquick can allow you to still enjoy those morning rituals. One biscuit made with Carbquick will have around 3 grams of carbohydrates, a small number that is manageable after the first few weeks of a keto diet.
