Hi - any low-carbers have any views on/experience with the above? Looks to be around 10g carbs per slice, around half the carbs of normal Hovis granary bread, but it's still carbs. I do miss my sandwiches so quite fancy trying it, I wondered what others thought

I eat very little bread these days, but if I do, like @Boo1979 I have HiLo, the slices are small, but enough to get rid of the occasional bread craving.

I bake my own low carbs bread, easy to make no need to proof the dough. I used either coconut or almond (grounded) or I do a fat head dough.

I would recommend “Lidl High Protein Roll” instead. They are triangular in shape.

It’s 9.6g per roll and it’s filling!

Test before eating and 2 hours after!

My experience with Lidl High Protein Roll with corned beef and salad was:

Bg before: 5.0
2 hours after: 5.5

Very little spike!

I can eat Hovis low carb and Tesco’s high protein bread both about 10g per slice. One slice is plenty especially toasted with scrambled or poached eggs. I also put plenty of filling in so it fills me up. Call me a heretic but I do not like the Lidl rolls at all!!
