But have you tried the Kettles Parsnip/beetroot chips? They're only 30% carb; so a small pack of 40g is only 12g carb.

Flavour wise, my favourite is Teeccino. But it is ludicrously expensive.
The best all-rounder (for me) is Prewitts. Available Amazon or H&B. It will never be coffee, but it is pleasantly ok.

Re the crisps. The parsnip/beetroot ones are too sweet for me, unfortunately. I do love 'em. The saltier the better.

I wish I could find a lc cracker recipe that really cracks. Anyone got one?
I tried the fathead pizza base, but it was never crunchy. Big disappointment!
 

It does look vile, but tastes bland. Still do this routine every day.
 
Egg omelette with scrapes of feta cheese and 1/12th of can of corned beef with 100g courgette...

Incerdibly a lot for me. May try to have 100g Rachels Organic Ginger yogurt before 8pm (late for me).

Happy to eat this amount as its a lot for me...quiteba triumph. Will just have to wait now to see how my body decides to react

First day trying to be back on LCHF a disaster! Had afternoon tea at a fancy hotel with some overseas visitors, hotel did me an amazing cheese and meat plate - but I ate the sandwiches (trying to fit in maybe ). Registered 9.0 when home and the cakes the other 3 ate looked wonderful and felt miserable eating my substitute. Sometimes being a diabetic is absolutely rubbish.

Will start again tomorrow, wondering if a fast might help - need something to kick me up the ....
 
Aww bless you, I know the feeling. I've had a double chocolate Magnum this eve, with bg after tea at 12.0, 7.7 before tea. Though it was high carb, so no room to complain.

Hope you enjoyed the day though.
