Lidl High Protein Low Carb Rolls

[Bluetit1802]

I bought my first ones yesterday. I had half a roll toasted with loads of butter on, bacon, egg, a sausage, mushrooms and a tomato. It was totally delicious, and after 2 hours my levels had risen by 0.3mmol/l. Half a roll was plenty. I doubt I could have managed a full roll. I am delighted, so thanks to everyone for recommending these.

@Gezzabelle
Daft question time..
I'm a bit naïve when it comes to freezing bread. Can you give me an idiots guide to freezing these rolls and how to defrost them.
Cheers

Jim

Slice in half and freeze in plastic bag or container. Straight into toaster when I take them out. Yumm.

Just got my meter and started testing yesterday, so will see what happens when I have half a roll today.
I'm praying that I'll be OK.

Do let us know how you get on. I hope you get the same low rise that most do

I will be very interested with the reply you get. Thanks for contacting them.
I managed to buy some this week. I had one yesterday with my usual breakfast of scrambled egg and mushrooms. I normally have one thin small slice of wholemeal bread 9 carbs. With the Lidl roll instead I went up 1.4 after 2 hours which I think is about usual for me. I found it a lot more filling and thought half a roll would have been enough. The calories seem high at 268 per 100g. No problem for me as I'm no longer needing to lose weight and will mean I can have things like cheese on toast now or even a salad filled roll.. So thanks for this.

One thin tiny slice of wholemeal throws my bg into a tizzy for 6 hours but these rolls hardly even register even after eating a whole one with lots of filling inside it They are quite high in calories but that's great for me too....I am struggling to stop weight loss and the more calories the better for me lol. Oh and by the way...cheese on toast on them is divine....food of the gods and crispy bacon and avocado....**wipes drool off chin**

Well I had 1/2 a roll toasted with 3 x scrambled eggs with a spoonful of Philly. Also had a peach/
2 hours later my BG was up by .8 - is that OK?

I'm a little unsure because my readings today have been higher than yesterday when I started testing, and I've no idea why.

point 8 is brilliant ...well done

Thanks - glad the rolls are OK.
Still trying to work out why I'm higher today though

Lmao....your post made me laugh out loud...........I hereby pronounce that you are a fully paid up member of the Lidl Roll Gang

I've never been part of a gang before, do we get to sport a bandana or wear a special tie or get a tattoo.

All of the above and a funny handshake

I am desperate to join the gang, no freezer at the moment so not worth going out of my way to get just one roll, however when my new kitchen is finished I'm going to go roll hunting! I am so looking forward to a cheese and onion roll!

I can highly recommend cheese and onion rolls....crispy bacon...egg mayo...cheese on toast....all divine

 

[Jo123]

Bacon roll omg I am sadly excited at getting my hands on one of these rolls!!

 

[learning2me]

Well this interesting.
Yesterday had 1/2 an HP roll with scrambled egg;
Was 7.4 before
2 hours after 8.2

Today I had 1 slice of Burgen Soya and Linseed with scrambled egg
Was 7.4 before
2 hours after 6.4

I seem to tolerate Burgen better than Lidl HP!

One set of figures on each is not really a test....you need to test several times as many other factors come into play to affect readings. Burgen sends my numbers up by 3 or 4...whereas rolls barely register. At first I had varying readings but now they are stable whereas Burgen still spikes me. The rise you had off the roll and eggs was still very low....you started with a high number remember. Up to you which you choose to eat of course

This could be down to the peach, very high fruit
