Does anyone here who is very LC celebrate Pesach? What do you do for food? I'm struggling with it this year, my first LCHF. Not sure how to do it without matzo, charoset, or macaroons! (Well, I could go without the macaroons, but I'm not sure how to make it feel like Passover without matzo.)

is that matzo as in matzo balls? Haven't had them myself, but I am sure I saw a low carb recipe somewhere... will look it out.

Here you go. the site says that its recipes are kosher.

How about using a rye flour, mixed with steel cut oats for passover?
I've found they have a much better effect on blood sugar, but are higher carb admittedly.

Rakusens Tea Matzos are 4g of carbs per cracker, so you could probably accommodate this within your daily carb limit.

And Google says you can make yourself some low carb macaroons too - which was actually going to be my project for tomorrow - but not for Passover though...

In general you should be able to find many low carb alternative options if you search through our own low carb recipes thread, or go Googling. So always give these options a try!
