While many swear that if you want to lead a healthy life, you need to steer clear of bread, there is one loaf that is winning plaudits from dietitians the country over.
Aldi’s Baker’s Life Lower Carb High Protein Bread, which retails for $4.99, has been praised for the huge amount of protein and fibre it contains, in comparison with its relatively small amount of carbohydrates.
Speaking to FEMAIL, dietitian Lyndi Cohen revealed exactly why the bread is such a nutritional saviour – and the other supermarket varieties to get your hands on if you want to be healthy.

Speaking to FEMAIL, dietitian Lyndi Cohen (pictured) revealed exactly why the bread is such a nutritional saviour, praising it for its high fibre and protein content, and low carbs
According to Lyndi, one of the main reasons why the bread is so good is because it it so low in carbs:
‘If you’re managing your weight or want a filling or lower carb option, then this is an interesting and great product,’ the dietitian told Daily Mail Australia.
‘Normal white bread is often made up mostly of refined flour, however this option is made using seeds and wholegrains providing healthy fats, protein and fibre.’
The bread has also been a hit with Keto diet followers, with people on Reddit dubbing it an ‘instant game changer’.
‘This bread is amazeballs [sic]. I don’t think I could ever go back. I LOVE the seeds,’ one reviewer posted.
‘I buy however many are on the shelf,’ another added.

The bread has also been highly praised on Reddit (pictured), with many saying: ‘I simply cannot recommend it enough!’
Lyndi said that unlike traditional breads, this ‘low GI option will keep you feeling full and satisfied for many hours after eating’.
‘What I find most impressive is that it’s a great source of fibre, and eating a good amount of fibre can help you to manage your weight, blood sugar levels, appetite and lower your risk of some cancers.’
She also said that it contains ‘an incredible grain called Lupin, which is being made in Australia’.
‘It’s naturally very high in protein and low in carbohydrates, and is perhaps one of the reasons this bread has such impressive nutrition information,’ the dietitian said.
People offered their snack suggestions for the loaf (pictured), as well as how they get their hands on the bread
‘Two slices of this reduced carb bread offers a massive 23.6 grams of protein, 10.7 grams of fibre and just 5g of carbs,’ one Redditer posted (pictured)
Meanwhile, keen Redditers have shared their secrets as to how they get their hands on the bread:
‘Note to all: If you want to order a bunch in bulk (and a half dozen loaves would even be considered “bulk” as they are only ordering about that), just ask the shift manager and tell them when you want them for and they usually will order for you,’ one person wrote.
‘I get them from the three Aldis I stop into in New South Wales,’ another added.
Speaking about the other supermarket loaves worth your nutritional bang for your buck, Lyndi (pictured) recommended Burgen’s Soy and Lin, as well as Helga’s Lower Carb Five Seeds
Speaking about the other supermarket loaves worth your nutritional bang for your buck, Lyndi recommended Burgen’s Soy and Lin, which costs $4.90, Helga’s Lower Carb Five Seeds, which costs $4.20, and Burgen’s Wholemeal and Seeds, $4.90.
‘It’s not bad for you to eat bread but by making a healthier option, you can make a big difference to your health,’ Lyndi revealed.
‘Bread is a really affordable and convenient basic to keep on hand. Choose an option for whole grains and wholemeal flour – and you’ll already be miles ahead of the processed white bread options.’
