I do like lindt but haven't tried the 85%. Will check it out thanks.Lindt Excellence 85% has 19g carbs per 100g bar and 8 squares per bar so 2.4g per square. Lindt 90% has less carbs but is much more bitter.

Are you sure this little bar is a good choice for breakfast. It contains 33g carbs which is more than I eat in a day. It cant be very filling either. Many supermarkets now do great individual deli items with a few days shelf life eg. Cold meats, cold hard boiled eggs, small cheeses. Eg. You could have cold egg and a pack of precooked bacon or ham and it would be hardly any carbs and would be more filling. Just an idea!my first day without muesli. I have just had a Belvita soft bake breakfast bar. Quite nice but doesn't seem as filling as the muesli. Not sure what effect not having the milk will have maybe I need to drink a glass.
Any of you guys use these belvita products.
I'm sure they also have a lot of sugar in them @PenguinMumAre you sure this little bar is a good choice for breakfast. It contains 33g carbs which is more than I eat in a day.

Montezuma's Absolute Black is 100% cocoa and only 8g carbs per 100g. I think this is the lowest carb chocolate available.If I'm going to fall off the wagon it's chocolate that would be the cause. Any recommendations on choc I'd be ok to have the odd square or two of?
Have you tried full fat Greek yoghurt and berries?my first day without muesli. I have just had a Belvita soft bake breakfast bar. Quite nice but doesn't seem as filling as the muesli. Not sure what effect not having the milk will have maybe I need to drink a glass.

Yes, but always look at the label, as I believe sometimes flour is used to stop the slices sticking together. I have read posts on this Forum by unwary people complaining they had been spiked because they had not expected this.a pack of precooked bacon or ham and it would be hardly any carbs
no you're not, you're just learning My Mum used to say 'we learn by our mistakes, if we never got anything wrong we would never learn anything new'Interesting you say avoid cashew nuts I have been eating 2 packetts a week thought they would be good for me. I am getting it all wrong.

Try it with almonds! Its amazing! Two almonds and a little nibble off a square.I love Lindt 90% chocolate - rarely have any other. I know it is a bit of an acquired taste but its worth getting used to it as it is quite low carb and two squares suffices my choc cravings.
Sorry to be a killjoy, but if I get a really low reading at 2 hours I test again at 3. Still low? Try again at 4. Fatty meals can take longer to digest and show up on a meter, and there is also the problem of delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis, which I understand is a common diabetic complication). I experience this myself and it causes me to use a lot of strips. I can even see a lower reading at 2 hours than before my meal. Dr Bernstein says this problem can be resolved by years of perfect bgs, but perfect bgs seem to be beyond my possibilities.My BS goes up 1 mmol after 2 hours.
