The LivLife bread is a good alternative, the only other bread that doesn’t affect my BG. But only Waitrose sell it, and I have to travel miles to get to one...
They are quite small slices, but suprisingly satisfying! I’ve found my appetite is much, much smaller since ditching most carbs, so a toastie made with two slices, half a tin of sardines and a tablespoon or two of butter keeps me satisfied for hours. I’d never have thought it possible, to be honest, I could eat a massive bowl of pasta before and go back for dessert before making the change.LivLife does seem to be much lower in carbs than most competitors. 14.6g of carbs per 100g. Or 3.8g per slice (presumably small slices?)
Looks promising, I'll be seeing if I can find any next time I'm passing my Waitrose. I have a Waitrose about 7 miles away but it's hard to get to. Well hard to park near as it's in town. But it stays open till 10pm, so I might try driving by when it's much quieter.
A note of caution re Waitrose. It might be worth phoning them before setting out - there's a small Waitrose in the next town and they have never had LivLife. My nearest large store is about 15 miles away and I'm not sure the cost of petrol, parking etc v LivLife is worth it.
I went to a different LIDL near me yesterday, and there were no High Protein rolls. The baking guy was putting out some other bread products so I asked him if they were still being sold, and he said they were 'discontinued'.My nearest Lidl (12 miles) has stopped baking them "for ever," I was told by a woman at the store with a clipboard (executive level?)
If your as much of a lazy s*d as me, be aware that ocado deliver livlife, Hilo and carb zone breads - nice and convenient and I find I save a shedload of money getting the shopping delivered - none of those ‘ I might need one of those” impulse buys that always meant I would go into supermarkets intending to buy 1 item and come out having spent at least £25I've been thinking about how much effort I'm willing to put in to getting hold of bread-like substances
I visit my sister roughly once a week, she's at the other side of town, and I think what I'll do is take a route that goes through town, especially if it's late at night. There's often some parking spaces near the Waitrose there when it's late.

Ocado don't deliver to my area! I may as well live on Alpha Centauri, the luck I'm having. I did notice in Morrisons that Ryvita has brought out a new cripsbread - Protein Crunchy Rye Breads Red Quinoa & Sesame and Linseed & Nigella Seed. I think the carbs per slice were about 5.9g. Might make a change from nutty crackers. I tried out a keto roll recipe backalong but just produced that weird gunk @DeejayR mentioned.If your as much of a lazy s*d as me, be aware that ocado deliver livlife, Hilo and carb zone breads - nice and convenient and I find I save a shedload of money getting the shopping delivered - none of those ‘ I might need one of those” impulse buys that always meant I would go into supermarkets intending to buy 1 item and come out having spent at least £25
They had High Protein rolls on sale at my local LIDL yesterday. Still the smaller size at 29p each. I bought half a dozen.
I went back to that LIDL yesterday, and they don't have them now. You are right @Sue192 , I should have grabbed the lot!That was very restrained, only buying 6, @Prem51. I would have just tipped the contents of the basket into my trolley.... I am beginning to think it's an Out in the Backwaters of the UK supply problem or rather certain Backwaters like here, because it's odd that they are still in stock in some areas. I might go back through the thread to see where members are still buying them. On the other hand that might lead to a serious 'expotition' somewhere exotic.
