According to Pinterest, the answer is a resounding yes<\/i>. This four-ingredient recipe has been popularly adapted to replace hamburger buns, pizza crusts, danishes, and about every other carb indulgence you can think of.\r\n

But first, ARe Carbs really that bad?<\/h2>\r\nCloud bread might be a godsend for those who are gluten<\/a> intolerant, but registered dietitian, Alex Caspero, MA, RD<\/a>, warns the rest<\/a> of us against swearing off carbs in an attempt to lose weight.\r\n\r\n“I dislike that carbs are so vilified,” she says. “I see so many clients whose diets are so high in animal proteins and very low in carbohydrates, and it’s not making them any healthier. When we look at longevity studies<\/a>, most populations eat a high-carbohydrate diet. It’s the type<\/em> of carbohydrates that matter,” she says.\r\n\r\nRather than eliminating carbs completely, she suggests opting for those that come from whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Research shows that whole grains can even contribute to weight loss and gut health.<\/a>\r\n\r\nStill, low-carb recipes like cloud bread make for a fun alternative to try if you level your expectations.\r\n\r\n“I don’t think cloud bread is unhealthy,” she adds, “but I won’t be trading in my whole-wheat bread anytime soon.”\n
