@liam1955 yes I thought 10g was too much. My partner drives too. I think I will wait until we can go to Lidl and I will stock up by freezing some of the rolls. I must ask , have you got strong winds and showers of hailstones in York. It's really cold here now.

The Lidls rolls are approx 11g carbs each and 1 slice of ordinary wholemeal/brown/white bread is anything from 17-24g carbs that's per slice so @mo53 s bread is very low carb

Oh! Thank You for that Anna, I didn't know. So, is a Lidl roll more filling that a slice of bread? :)

No, it's gloriously Sunny here - but breezy here in "Costa 'de' York's != :D
 
Yes, I believe so. They are very high fibre and full of seeds. Many people only eat half a roll at a time. When I started lchf I was broken hearted to find my favourite Irish bread and Scottish Plain white were both 24grams of carbohydrates a slice so a bacon sandwich was more than my entire days allowance of carbohydrates. Even a slice of wholemeal from a normal 800g loaf e.g Warburtons is at least 17g

Good day so far.....went to an excercise class labelled "Easy Does it" which was anything but! and I I realised that I simply do not have the co-ordination to be remotely graceful!

I then had a lovely 30 minute clear the mind swim and followed that up with a pot of mint tea and a my book for 20 minutes.

I was just about to get on with some work when one of my oldest friends turned up at the front door bearing gifts :) She has bought me a lovely velvet bag about the size of a laptop sleve which holds all my testing kit, spare supplies, note book and pens etc. She has also bought me some guest towells in a lovely vibrant pink which also fit into this bag and some handcream for my pin pricked fingers. It is lovely and is making me smile this afternoon as I test.....which is a good thing.

She said that she can no longer buy me chocolate and I kill flowers:)

My husband is away for the next two nights and as much as I love him I am really looking forward to snuggling down on the sofa with the dogs and some really appauling TV of the guilty secret variety for the next two evenings :)

Sounds like a very good day indeed :)
 
I love the Lidls rolls, they are very filling and very good when toasted. Today I had one sliced in half, toasted with a tin of crab meat, spring onion and goats cheese. Delish.

Edit: I alternate between the Lidl Rolls and the Burgen bread and every other day no bread at all.

The Lidl rolls are great because they're so filling you only need half. So I make them up with chicken etc then cut them in half and eat them for lunch over 2 days. We don't have a Lidl in Cambridge though so I can't get hold of them that often.

@liam1955 ooh the homemade cheeseburgers sound good. I'm not sure about the bread. It tastes good even though wheat and gluten free. But 10 g of carb in each slice. It didn't spike my bs . I would like to try the livlife bread but I will have to order it from Amazon. I wish I could get to Lidl more often. The trouble with swimming it makes me sleepy. :)

I would feed it to the birds! They would be glad of it Mo. But, at least you have done your bit of "experimenting" = Well done for our cause.:D

Can't keep rejoining every time, anyway sugars are finally bit lower, seems I had reaction to steroids. I'll keep trying to sort this problem out but getting tired of rejoining every time. Don't know what's going on. Keep posting, I can read but can't jion in!

Hi, @maureen5752. Funnily enough, it was after 3 months of steroids that I got my T2 diagnosis...

@liam1955 yes I thought it was good. But it always makes me hungry . I'm glad you asked I've been meaning to ask you if you have watched , Bake Off Creme de la Creme on BBC 2? It's teams of pastry chefs competing so it is all cakes and pastries?
