Oprah Winfrey once enthusiastically declared her love for bread in a viral Weight Watchers commercial, but we have good news for her and you -- doing away with carbs doesn't have to mean eating terrible bread. While nutritionists have argued that carbohydrates are not the enemy, many diets and weight-loss plans, including keto and paleo, aim to limit carb intake as a way to drop some pounds. Bread is one well-known carb-heavy food, and so it was always going to be in the firing line for people looking to cut down on their intake. The result is a whole lot of low- and zero-carb breads that are made with a scientifically backed resistant wheat starch that's heavy on fiber and other nutrients. Low-carb bread has gotten pretty great in that result doesn't deprive loaves, slices and even croissants of the softness and bulkiness found in the original versions. In fact, most low-carb bread from keto-friendly brands is downright tasty and makes a wonderful alternative to what you may be accustomed to eating on the regular. A 2024 CNET survey found that 77% of Americans are concerned about the increase in the price of everyday groceries. So with that in mind, if you're going to deprive yourself of carbs, you should at least make sure you're getting the best bread for your money.

The brand also makes a killer English muffin, which I eat most mornings if oatmeal just isn't doing it for me.
