Have posted up my food today as I welcome any comments. I do not eat pasta, rice, potatoes. I miss my brown bread but have lost a stone in a month on LCHF. It makes the most sense to me. I am trying to vary my diet a bit so am trying to work out what I can introduce which will not prevent me from losing weight. I really want to know how "bad" ryevitas are. Should I eat them rarely, once a week, once a month? Same with Puy lentils. I would ideally eat the lentils once a week with 97% meat sausages and ryevita once a week with cheese - say on a Saturday. I know it's my choice but please, please comment. Breakfast is usually poached egg and bacon or smoked mackerel. Lunch is full fat yoghurt with a handful of berries and dinner is usually fish or chicken with veggies and a cream sauce. Sometimes a salad. Sometimes bean bake.
Hi Scandi, this reply is not about rye vita, so I apologise if it's off topic. I thought I would mention instead the types of foods you can have that might help stave off the cravings for things like bread, as you mentioned you miss it. To begin with, I thought any bread would be a no go for me, but the internet has provided a solution! There are two wonderful things you can bake with, and those are flax meal and almond meal (Ground flax seeds and ground almonds). When I want pizza, I make the base from flax meal. It's quite expensive, so I don't make them too often, but it's nice to have that option.

There is also an amazing site that includes a recipe for a flax meal bread loaf. I have not tried this one yet, but it's very much on the list!

My favourite thing at the moment is almond meal muffins, which are very low carb if you use Stevia instead of sugar.

I actually make a muffin 'loaf' and cut it into slices. I get about 12 decent sized slices, which form part of lunch for three days for myself and my wife. It usually takes about half an hour to bake rather than 15 minutes due to being a much bigger muffin. This is my muffin effort here
The key really is experimenting. If something spikes your blood sugars, avoid it in future. I am now eating a far more interesting diet than I ever was on high carb. Scour the internet for recipes as well, there is so, so much out there.
As others have said, everyone is different. If you eat some rye vita, test your blood sugars 20-30 minutes afterwards. If they are not high, it's all good, if they have spiked, they are probably best avoided.
