What are you going to do with the rest of the loaf though?
@AdamJames @PenguinMum Nooooo don't do it it's like crack cocaine...
100% agree there..show me an open bags of nuts! I'll show you an empty bagIt's much easier to eat none of certain types of food than a little bit of them.
Well it worked for me BB! Thanks!Oops.. it was meant to put them off it forever... oh well the best laid plans etc.. just shows how strong habit and addiction can be I guess!

Well, I find it helpful that others are willing to try things and report back. The decision to also try it is mine, and mine alone.I am feeling genuinely guilty now for posting this. I feel like I've tried to tempt others but that wasn't what I was thinking about at all
I think we should all be able to report our findings accurately and freely, and equally we all need to take responsibility for ourselves. I've spelled out what it has taken for me to 'get away with' eating this, and I'll leave it at that!
And I totally agree about the problem with addiction. It's much easier to eat none of certain types of food than a little bit of them.
A buttie of chips and brawn. Yeah, brawn. I still miss it and usec to love how it melted over the chips. My family think I am a zombie!
Me too, with a good sprinkling of cinnamon and watched in front of Dr Who (in the days of wobbly walls and alien helmets made out of cardboard boxes).I used to love mashed banana sandwiches with a generous sprinkling of sugar when I was a kid!
Rock-star self-control?? That's worrying as they don't have any......??Also, I happen to be, right now, in a period of rock-star self control
You can still buy brawn in Morrisons, in a little pot. I chop it up into salads or just eat a chunk of it. However, I'm not sure of the melting over chips bit!

What a fabulous thread - ok, it has wandered off into bread-porn, as @AdamJames pointed out, but it hasn't made me want to try every single example on this thread of what you can do with bread (especially the rollmop and Stilton cheese one - a taste exploration definitely too far) and it has dredged up some wonderful memories!
Hi all ... For a few weeks I tried the low carb diet .... I enjoyed the challenge to think differently about meal times and their contents. I went through the withdrawal symptoms but came out the other side with an abundance of energy. I even lost weight. However I found keeping track of my carb counter 30g a day! ... if memory serves me right. I gave up because quite simply I enjoy bread. I love it in Sandwiches and with soup as well as on its own. I'm once again considering following this same eating plan with a few alterations based on what I've learned about myself. I'm tailoring my food plan to myself ...If the low carb bread doesn't cause spikes then what is the harm? Same with a couple of spuds. Of course they need rigorous testing, but once that makes it clear the bread is safe, then it is tickety boo.
I have had whole meal bread cheese and salad sandwich almost everyday for lunch for years without significant problems. Being a veggie one hasn’t got too many choices. Personally I feel giving up bread entirely is not necessary as long as you take into consideration the carbohydrate content and match it with your insulin.If the low carb bread doesn't cause spikes then what is the harm?

Not so good if you don't like ham.... I used to take Lidl rolls with me when we went out, it stopped me feeling left out and meant I was less likely to buy something full of carbs. It was more convenient too.
Edit: After years of eating fewer and fewer calories, I try to eat a minimum of 1200 per day. Without Lidl rolls I would struggle to eat enough if all I could take was salad and cheese. (although I am not vegetarian I am not that keen on meat )

A plate of bacon and eggs used to be demanding that toast or bread rolls be added, but now a lashing of mixed veg does the trick.
What I would love to know is why half a slice of white bread fried and eaten with a fry up spikes me less than half a slice of low carb Burgen bread, toasted, smothered in butter and eaten with a fry up. Another mystery.
