Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
There is quite a lot of low carbohydrate convenience food; just not advertised with a "Low Carb" label.
As already mentioned, curries from M&S and Waitrose are generally low carbohydrate as long as you avoid the rice.
Pork sausages with over 90% pork are low carb; many are also gluten free. It just isn't highlighted in the label.
Cheese is low carb. Double cream is low carb. Strawberries are low carb. A lot of vegetables are low carb.
However these have always been low carb; I can see all sorts of problems trying to fill a low carb aisle at the supermarket.
Having said all that, it would be nice to have a traffic light label on all foods with green for under 10 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams.
