[QUOTE="BooJewels, post: 1045610, member: 181094"] When I get the urge for crisps, I get the packs of 8 poppadoms from either Aldi or Lidl which are 3g carbs each and one of those broken up into a bowl is enough to scratch that itch and give you the same crunch. Olives, Babybel cheeses, pork scratching, nuts (KP original peanuts are lower carb than many), 9 bars (the peanut ones are lower carb and half of one is enough to feel like you've had a treat - 7g per half), peanut butter. If you read the labels, many of the wheaty crackers are 3g of carb each, as are some oatcakes and a couple, spread with butter and PB will fill a significant gap. I keep big pots of full fat Greek style yogurt in and that's filling too. Just be mindful, as Geoffers said, that many alternative low carb foods can be high in fat and protein instead, so overall calories need to be considered too - and I see protein as a slow release carbs - it will still effect BG, just a lot more slowly - which can be good for evening out BG readings.
