I tested the Great Low Carb Bread Company (GLCBC) bagel last night. Though I can't testify to the BG effect, as my basal BG's have started running berserk since my Rx for metformin ran out, I was able to test the taste. I must say, this is the best GLCBC product yet. It has wheat products in it, so it is probably wreaking havoc on my body, but it truly is an amazing product for a LC (2g net carbs) bagel. Same chewy texture of a regular high carb version, but not as tough. It chews more like a fresh bagel, if you've ever had one of those (I used to get them at the Western Bagel bakery while still warm from the oven and eat a whole dozen in a matter of hours). I used it as a hamburger bun with my standard patty and veggies recipe. The items I have (1/2 doz for $8) are the "Everything Bagels" and they are fantastic. I sure hope that when I have a chance to n=1 trial them that they will result in a true 2g carb load as advertised. Also, I hope they don't induce any wheat related problems with inflammation and other grain related maladies. I'm not holding my breath on that last one, knowing what I know about the evils of modern wheat. Anyhow, as soon as I get my Rx refilled and get my BG's back under control, I'll do a single cohort clinical trial of this item and report back. Just wanted y'all to know how delicious they are.

Sounds yummy! I found their website and their stuff looks good. Is it only available online or are they in stores? I will look for your further updates!

They have only one store and that is at the bakery in Southern California. I ordered mine online. Shipping is $9 but appears to be the same no matter how much I ordered. I am testing the onion pocket right now. Advertised as 2 grams fiber. We'll see ;) Tastes pretty good though. Probably gonna kill me with all the wheat it contains. LOL

I live in Southern California! I will have to see where they are, if they are in San Diego I could go there myself. But otherwise I do not mind $9 shipping if I can get some good quality bread items with low carbs!

Thanks, might try them. Last ones I tried were the Western Bagel Perfect 10, love the texture (but grainier than regular bagel)-- 10 net carbs. This sounds pretty good, especially when you say it's more like a fresh bagel (from NYC), love those bagels. I do totally know what you mean about the inflammation problem. No wheat last few days, ok this sounds bad but worked long day---even ate Wendy's 2 meat patties with lettuce, spinach, tomato and felt great today. Seems like the minute I put "too much" wheat back in I feel it. I eat other things (order grits, quinoa, rice from nuts.com) and no problems. Wheat and sugar, and bad Louisiana weather....and full of pain. Good luck, and thanks for info. I find that Ezekiel bread doesn't bother me, then again I don't eat bread daily.

RugratX2, they're in North Hollywood.
Ginsin, they have a Paleo/gluten free bun that shows promise.

I went ahead and got the ones you got. I also ordered the onion and hamburger buns. Figured since I had to pay for shipping, I'd go for it at once and freeze. I don't eat "bread" that often, even though I love the carbs.

You were right, these are great. I froze them and when I need them, they are there. I even got some smoked salmon for the bagels. I thought they were pretty damn good. I haven't tried the onion ones, they smell great. Thanks for sharing!
