[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 926239, member: 94045"] I don't have a sweet tooth, and I hate dark chocolate, but MANY people on here buy the high cocoa dark chocolate, which is better than the milk varieties. I think Green and Blacks do one, Lindt, and various other common makes. I doubt there is any difference between a portion of cake and a scone in a café as far as BS are concerned. However, as a treat, one piece wouldn't do much harm, and ensure he has a load of butter on the scone as this helps keep any spike down. Hopefully the coffee he likes is with cream or black, not with milk! For snacks he can have nuts. Not many at once, a small handful, or cheese. Any cheese, but some folk like Babybells for convenience for snacks. Personally I never snack because I'm never hungry. It is carbs that make you hungry, so the more you have, the more you want and think you need. Good fats like dairy, cheese, full fat yogurts, cream, butter, eggs, avocadoes, meat and fish fill you up far more than the carbs and last you through to your next meal. If he is a bread lover, there are some low carb breads on the market (Bergen, Livlife from Waitrose, and Lidl high protein rolls) There isn't a separate forum, but there are a few threads about this subject. You aren't on your own by any means. How about a lovely fry up for breakfast or lunch (bacon, eggs, high meat content sausage, mushrooms cooked in butter, and a tomato? [/QUOTE]
