[QUOTE="JontyW, post: 600285, member: 40312"] I'm a T1 for past 45 years and in last two years have started down the low carb route aiming for about 100g carbs/day. I don't bother with any carbs at lunchtime, so my main carbs are breakfast and dinner plus the odd fruit, and I like to keep my breakfast to 2 or 3 slices of toast with thin smear of marmalade or scrabbled egg. So I aim to get lowest carb bread as possible and like many in this thread I started buying LivLife from my local store (Waitrose) since 3 slices were a total of 3.8 x 3 = ~11g CHO. This is low because the slices are very small compared to others, but I also did not like the taste of it so had to have marmalade to improve taste. I did notice that often it was being sold at 'reduced' price due to nearly past due date, which showed that sales were not good. Then also special discounted price for a few weeks, then ... nothing ... they stopped stocking it. So this supports what the Waitrose guy said about poor sales etc. So what did I do next .... I hunted around all the small brown/wholemeal loaves stacked on the multiple shelves, and realised just what a massive overlap there was for many of the brands. In the end I chose Hovis Wholemeal and the slices are a reasonable size (27g) and 10g carbs, so that's 20g for my 2 slices. More importantly it smells & tastes really nice without needing marmalade to improve the taste. But I expect Waitrose will soon stop that since Hovis have just introduced a new range of 'Wholemeal MEDIUM' and 'Wholemeal THICK' which now dominates the Waitrose shelves :-( [/QUOTE]
