First The Rolls Now The Chocolate

Disclaimer I am going to have a moan

Isn't it annoying when you find a food you like and that doesn't affect your BG levels then the shop stops selling them.


I used to buy the Lidl High protein rolls - discontinued! now Tesco have removed the Finest 85% swiss Chocolate. I loved this chocolate, only 3.7g carbs for two big squares (18.5g for the entire 100g bar but obviously never ate a whole bar in one go)

I am very worried for my coffee supply

and even fewer..

but I can only go so far as the 85% before it gets too bitter.

I sympathise, my Tesco stopped selling small tins of coconut cream, an essential ingredient of my breakfast recipe and celeriac which I use as a low carb alternative mash. I get a monthly delivery from Waitrose now specifically to get these two things!
My Tesco still has the 85% chocolate, I hope that doesn’t stop too

Yep, they do this quite often with gluten-free stuff I've noticed - not helpful for someone as picky as me ....

I actually have an addiction to 90% dark choccy now so i must be bitter at heart. Though to be fair i never really had a sweet tooth, my husband bought it for me but he can't cope with it himself , he is non diabetic though so can eat what he wants really. Good on him though as he follows the same diet as me and has lost well over 2 stone. It really helps if the person you are living with does the same diet.Very supportive.

Waitrose also do their own 90% bar

https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/produ...-republic-dark-chocolate/807512-524273-524274

And Sainsbury’s do an 85% chocolate which is split into 5 x 25g bars:

Like @Moggely I have an addiction to the stuff and have to go above 90% - 100% if possible- to give myself a fighting chance of not eating the whole bar!

Have you tried Montezuma’s Absolute Black (the varieties with almonds or orange and cocoa nibs are particularly nice) or the Hotel Chocolat 100% drops (in the baking section). Be careful with Hotel Chocolat though, a lot of their very high percentage products have way more carbs than you’d expect.
