I was hoping to post the results from my bread testing today, but due to a bunch of shipping delays, the last 3 breads didn’t come in time (last one arrives Tuesday). I want to report out a thorough data set, so I’m delaying the report one more week.
In the meantime, I’ve been getting some really great recommendations for low-carb foods and ingredients to try from my previous posts (tortillas, cereal, ice-cream) and on Reddit. I’ve been testing a few and some seem really promising. The top recommendations, Mr. Tortilla tortillas and Nick’s Ice Cream* have been the lowest BG impact in their categories.
Based on this, I’m going to do a “Commenter requests” study where I measure the BG impact of foods & ingredients requested in the comments or by PM.
Here’s what I have so far:
- Tortillas
- Mr. Tortilla 1 net carb tortillas
- A La Madre Low Carb Corn Tortillas
- Regular (not low carb) flour tortilla for comparison
- Ice Cream
- So Delicious No Sugar Added Coconut Milk Ice Cream
- Nick’s Swedish Style Lite Ice Cream
- Regular (not low carb) ice cream for comparison
- Breads
- Chompies Bread
- Carb0naut
- Unbun UnBread
- Julian Bakery bread
- Chocolate
- Lily’s
- Choc Zero
If you have any low-carb foods, ingredients, or anything else you’d like to see tested, please post it in the comments or send me a PM (contact form on the right).
I’ll test all the requests over the next couple weeks and post the results.

* Be careful on the Nick’s ice cream. The nutrition info on the website doesn’t match what I and others found in the store. I’m not sure if they have multiple version under the same name, but I’d carefully check the nutrition info on the physical container. That said, the blood sugar impact I measured matched that reported on the physical container and was the lowest of any ice cream I’ve tested. It was also soft & scoopable straight out of the freezer.
