Burger Bun to Replace Ezekiel Whole Grain Buns?

Postby tinabonifacio » Thu Jan 17, 2019 6:46 pm

Jeff, what is your current recommendation for a whole grain burger bun? My local Whole Foods is no longer stocking the Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Whole Grain Burger Buns. And, I heard a rumor that the manufacturer had discontinued them. I'm in the process of confirming that with Food for Life (earlier tonight, I filled out their website's Contact Us form). Either way, what is your current recommendation for a whole grain burger bun? Thanks! (PS I met you in Feb 2019 at a McDougall 3-Day Intensive. And, I watched all your YouTube videos and your Fast Food DVD series when I returned home. Your Calorie Density lecture changed my life! Since then, I've lost 70 pounds and am off all chronic disease meds. I said goodbye to 3 blood pressure pills, 1 cholesterol pill, and 1 diabetic pill! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!)

Thank you! Glad you have been able to implement the program with such great success.

Congratulations!!

My number one choice for commercially available bread is Food For Life so hopefully they will come through for you.

If they no longer make the buns, do not despair, they also make English muffins that pass the guidelines and are the perfect size for the burgers.
