Carb-Free Microwave Bread

Four years ago, I was a full blown Type 2 Diabetic. Like most challenges in life, I didn't let this predicament weigh me down. After months and months of research and a lot of hard work...I am now free from diabetes!


The key to breaking free of this condition is being mindful of your carb intake. Going to the gym regularly and being mindful of your sodium and cholesterol intake helps too.


Here's one of my staple breakfast items that I wish to share with y'all:

CARB FREE MICROVAVE BREAD


Mix the following in a microwaveable bowl/container:


4 tbsp. ground flax seed meal (all the carbs in flax seed meal is fiber...and fiber doesn't really count as actual carbohydrates because our body naturally flushes it all out. ergo...no carbs.)


3 tbsp. no calorie sweetener (i prefer sucralose or fruit based sweeteners)



1/8 tsp. baking powder (I use the low sodium variety - the less sodium we consume, the more weight we'll lose and the healthier we'll be. Weight loss and healthy living = freedom from diabetes)

1 tbsp. ground parmesan cheese (no carbs...but ALWAYS be mindful of the calories and sodium)

3 tbsp. egg whites

a dash of water (just enough to make the mixture wet - a teaspoon or so is more than enough)

Microwave your mixture for 1 minute and 40 seconds. Voila...you have your healthy, carb-free bread!


Pretty easy huh. =D

  3. It's great that you broke free from diabetes. I'm a med student and I came to realize that even though this disease can affect the well being and the longevity of the life many people don't take it so serious and they continue living unhealthy. My blood sugar was very high few years ago and I was on a diet too...I thought I have diabetes and it was such a scare for me. Anyways, many congrats for living a healthy life!
