Lidl High Protein rolls are great. They are so dense that a half will fill you up for hours. I haven't noticed a spike with them at all so you can imagine my excitement when my local Lidl started stocking them! I wiped them out of their stash and froze them all. Have it with pate, ham, philadlephia or cheese. scrumptious!

You buy them individually out of the fresh bread baskets.

Hi all . I think that to exclude any food groups it not a good thing . High carb intake is bad but I think no carbs is bad to . Changing the type of carbs we eat seems to be the way forward . For me this has worked but I guess it's not the same for all . I do think that processed foods are not the best things we can eat

ALL things in moderation. You're right, no carbs is not good... In fact, no carbs is impossible. I challenge someone to try zero carbs for a month... Pwahahaha

Welcome to the forum @Yerusha

I speak from the huge experience of 2 weeks on the forum, so bear that in mind.

Bread in virtually all its forms is high in carbs. I personally would much rather take my carbs from fresh green leafy vegetables, which ultimately leave my hunger more satisfied. I do miss bread of course but it sends my blood sugar very high. I personally find it easier to stop something completely rather than wean myself off. But everyone is different.

I bought one of those 'Accu-Chek Mobile' blood testers from Amazon for about £20. No visible needles if that is an issue for you. Best purchase ever. Armed with one of those, you can judge for yourself what affects you (spikes you) and what doesn't.

Good luck

Hi,
Does anyone know what these Lidl high protein rolls are made of?
I was wondering if one could get the ingredients could a similiar bread be made in a bread maker?
Thanks
Derek

For the last few days I have kept my blood glucose down between 4.6 and 7.4 (only diagnosed 3 weeks ago and am very pleased with the lower numbers since following the LCHF diet). However, this morning, just to experiment, I ate two small slices of white bread and tested two hours later - from the FBG reading earlier, of 4.6, it had shot up to 10.2. That's the first time I have seen this high number and is pretty much conclusive evidence to me that I can't take bread! Sad, because I do love a bit of toast, but I love my arms and legs and eyesight more!

I can't do ordinary bread either but try a protein roll from Lidl I can tolerate half of one with no spike and they are really lovely

Hi Flora,
Thank you for the information, I shall now have to get some ingredients and have a go.
As I suspected Lidl rolls have too much salt for my condition.
best wishes
Derek

Does anyone else eat the Lidl low GI bread? I find I can eat that without too much of a spike, it's delicious too and a lot easier to digest than the rolls.
