Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

This seems to air a very large number of conflicting viewpoints once it has got past the "trendy" puff piece.
"Once neglected in favour of supposedly healthier products or mass-produced substitutes, butter is back"
Yep, good with that.
"Butter is the cornerstone of classical cooking: the first food to hit the pan and, more often than not, the final flourish, used to finish off dishes or as a base for sauces. It’s a vehicle for flavour but it’s also delicious in its own right."
Looking good, Guardian!

"Of course, such romantic ideals should be taken with a sprinkle of salt: even Gulliver acknowledges butter needs be enjoyed “in moderation.” “Butter is still a treat. It’s not something to have on a daily basis,” says the British Dietetics Association spokeswoman Rebecca McManamon."
So it is healthier than spreads, the cornerstone of traditional cooking, but just an occasional treat?
No hint is give about any healthy alternatives.
What should non-LCHF people spread each day on their sandwiches?
Beat into their mashed potatoes?
