Product Review: Wasa Fiber Crispbread on the Belly Fat Cure by Amber Allen-Sauer

I discovered Wasa Fiber Rye Crispbread several years ago when I did the Weight Watchers Core Plan (WW did away with that diet plan!). But I fell in love with these little cracker/breads and was thrilled to see that they fit into the Belly Fat Cure and Low Sugar diets perfectly! The best part is that each little cracker is loaded with 2 grams of Fiber (depending on which variety you choose) and the BFC is all about smart fiber choices.

Honestly, first taste might remind you of cardboard. They are really crunchy! But keep an open mind and these will become a diet staple. That crunch now satisfies a need that only potato chips could before. The most obvious use is as a “cheese delivery system”, but you can do so much more: Spread on almond butter or low sugar peanut butter, scoop tuna salad on top, or make a turkey cheese sandwich. My favorite is to spread on cream cheese and top with smoked salmon. If I had capers that would be perfect!

There are several different varities of Wasa Fiber Crispbread available in stores across the country and they have slightly varying S/C counts. The Fiber Rye Crispbread has the best S/C of the bunch at 0g Sugar/7g Carbohydrates/2g Fiber for an S/C of 0/1. The others have just a little more Carbs, but still are at just 1 Carb serving for one. I frequently have two of these for lunch, with a high protein topping (tuna, chicken, salmon or turkey) served open faced, cottage cheese on the side sprinkled with ground flaxseed.

Disclosure: I was provided this product free of charge in order to review it. It in no way effected my opinion of the product.
