As far as marmalade goes I make jam with chia seeds & sweetener. The chia seeds thicken the jam and I actually prefer it. If you like raspberry, strawberry jam go for that. Or google making marmalade with chia seeds. Recipe for my jam is found on low carb yum website.I love toast and marmalade for breakfast. If I give upbread, would Ryvita with marmalade be a reasonable substitute? I would find life very hard without marmalade.

Hi - I'll come at this from a different angle. If you were trying to give up smoking you wouldn't want to spend time with people smoking and the same might apply to drinking. I have a problem with eating with friends and family in general - I want to eat what they eat and in the past I have been able to really really put food away. (That's part of why I'm here.)I love toast and marmalade for breakfast. If I give upbread, would Ryvita with marmalade be a reasonable substitute? I would find life very hard without marmalade.
I have no idea whether you are T1 or T2, whether you are on insulin or other drugs. However, for most of us T2s it is both toast and marmalade that we give up. Far too much sugar in marmalade and ordinary bread just turns to glucose once inside the system. Many of us buy Lidl High Protein rolls as they are very low in carbohydrate and delicious sliced in half and toasted. From memory they are about 10% carb. The rest is protein and fat. There are other low carb breads such as Bergen and Lovelife, but not as low carb as the Lidl rolls.
Good bit of fibre in there too!Here are the nutrient details for the Lidl rolls

The Lidl rolls are ok, but I find them a bit doughy, especially when they've been frozen. My new favourites are M&S Crispy Cheese Crackers, 7.8g carbs for 3, they're delicious with cream cheese and serrano ham.

Can't have that much if they're only 2.6 carbs each!I bet they have added sugar and other additives .....

This is interesting. I have diabetic preserve but what's the 'sugars' in these rolls please?I have no idea whether you are T1 or T2, whether you are on insulin or other drugs.

WOW! You have done so well. I'm newly diagnosed and there's so much out there in the way of conflicting advice@lynbrown first of all have you tested your BS after eating your toast and marmalade, some people can tolerate bread better than others. You could make your own LC bread and sugar free marmalade, there are lots of low carb, sugar free recipes to be found if you search and Pinterest is also a great resource.
