Favourite thing about LCHF?

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
 
For me, I just have to look down at my signature and that says everything about LCHF that I love
 
Just been out and had in the car with me a plastic box with sticks of cheddar cheese wrapped in slices of pastrami.
Yum.
 
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
 
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
 
mmm I'm fancying that now
