Sorry folks, but some of the comments on this thread are not, in my opinion, helping a newbie discover what suits them, and what works for their body.

One of the marvellous things about trying a LCHF diet is that you get to work out what suits you, and find out (possibly for the first time ever) how your body reacts to different foods. You said you are getting a meter, which is wonderful, and at that point, the fun begins - because you will be able to get personalised feedback and tailor make your own way of eating.
It REALLY isn't about comparing teasps of sugar (although sadly that is very trendy nowadays), nor it is about g of carbs a day.
It IS about discovering what works for you. And if you get to enjoy 9 bars, or pieces of fruit, or even the odd slice of bread, while keeping your blood glucose under control, and maintaining an overall healthy diet, then you will get the pleasure as well as the control.
