Is Chebe bread acceptable in the first 2 weeks? Ingredients are manioc (tapioca) flour, modified manioc starch, sea salt, cream of tartar, and sodium bicarbonate. total carbs 17 g.

I purchased the angel hair and the black angle hair "pasta". They have been a great substitute for me for spaghetti, pasta salads, and lo mein. The texture is a bit like the cellophane noodles used in asian cooking.

These shirataki noodles are made of the unrefined Yam Flour from the konnyaku imo tuber. It is not the soy (tofu) shirataki noodles that are found in many stores. The black shirataki has hijiki (a japanese sea vegetable) added for "color".

I use my salad spinner to get rid of all excess rinsing water and sometimes dry fry them quickly in a pan before adding them to something with a sauce. They absorb the flavor of the sauce pretty good that way.

I am not affiliated in any way. I just appreciate the options!

No, I have not heard of miracle noodles. Please enlighten me! :lol:

I think if you have ethnic grocery stores near you, you may be able to find tapioca (manioc) flour. Maybe South American fare.

Oh my gosh! My family is so excited about this :). I am wondering if the manioc flour is available-I'd love to be able to make these things from scratch.

This is kind of along the lines of the miracle noodles. Have you tried those?

It is just great to have options!

You can find Chebe bread online or from some select markets. Here I found it at Ingles. I never shop there but someone posted on a WAP list that she found it there, so I went and stocked up.

Re: Chebe Bread

I will have to look for that at my local store. Do you have a brand recommendation or is it just "Chebe Bread"? I wonder now if this can be ordered through my food co-op...gonna check that out :D. Thanks!

Hi, Dawn. The answer is both - you buy the package like Bisquick, add extra ingredients like cheese or egg (can't do it until I test dairy and egg), and bake it in the oven. It is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I served it at Thanksgiving for my gluten intolerant brother, and everyone else wanted second servings even though I had cranberry muffins for them!
The packages include an all purpose mix, pizza dough, foccacia, etc. It uses sea salt instead of yucky sodium. Our local WAP chapter leader uses it almost exclusively as a bread substitute.
How do I add you as a friend or buddy on this system? I'll be glad to share home email if there is a private way to do that. I see you are an active poster.

Cathy-
Do you buy this bread or make it yourself?

Re: Chebe bread

While manioc is gluten-free, it's advisable to try to stick as closely as possible to the Enlita menus, particularly during the first 2-3 weeks of the program. Breads can slow weight loss for some individuals.
