Favourite thing about LCHF?

[rowan]

Great excuse to go straight for the steak in pub or restaurant, and at home adding a Stilton and cream sauce with no guilt. Mushrooms sautéed in butter...

I keep my local stores in business with my cream habit

You don't live near me do you? Every time I go to the village shop they've sold out of double cream!

a stilton sauce is manna from heaven
I'm sure you are having an assortment of fats and oils and not just dairy

I started LCHF on February 6th, my favorite has got to be breakfast; steak and eggs with a side of ham.

I've bought 2 different types, both like bullets and I threw them away - I'd prefer to keep my teeth!

I thought I'd miss bread more than anything else, but although I'd like to be able to eat it I can manage perfectly well without it. Really surprised me!

I wonder if I will be able to say that one day I don't think I will as I love bread all kinds I'd rather give up meat than bread woe is me lol

 

[mojo37]

As I have never been overweight, I always kept an eye on my weight and was on my feet all day so I got plenty of (gentle) exercise so I could eat those anyway + donuts, cake, pizza, potatoes, chips (how I miss chips!) and anything I wanted in moderation so I really can't think of a light hearted reason but please feel free to try more suggestions as you might find one for me! I would love to have one.

Do you mind me asking you how you ended up diabetic ( are you type 2 ?)

Having ryvita helped me, I can have 2 with no spike, but 3 sends me sky high! But I went though every cracker and savoury biscuit on the tesco online shopping site and bought the lowest carb ones, some only 3 carbs each and they all helped me get over bread

I've being eating ( small amounts ) of the burgen seeded type bread although its far lower carb than wholemeal and I quite like it , it doesn't do satisfy that bread craving ..so I'm back trying one slice of wholemeal instead

I can't eat any bread although I will try again hen my lower levels have stabilised, they're still a bit erratic!

My favourite crispbread is Ryvita Dark Rye and my favourite toppings are egg or prawn mayo with cucumber, and brie with tomato, all with butter, very tasty

Have you tried Marks & Spencers Spelt Bread? It's £1.30 for a small loaf, but I can have 2 slices without a spike
