Good for you @CheeseJunkie it's always weird when undergoing a change in lifestyle, have you got the Eat Fat book by Dr Trudi Deakin?
She has some great recipes and also explains the LCHF lifestyle clearly.
I find the chocolate cake recipe an absolute lifesaver when yearning for a carby hit. It's best served the following day , it's kind of 'matured' , moist, chocolatey and with a dollop of clotted cream and a coffee it's almost like being sat at a cake house in a bustling city while being enveloped in a sea of tranquility, watching the minions minioning (or whatever they do) or...yes it's lovely :D

Just looked for the book you recommended....
Is this by Trudi Deakin or someone else? I've foind the title by others, and she seems to have other titles, but not this one. Have I not checked properly?

Coarse Ardennes Pate: only 1g of carbs in the whole pack! Plenty of fat, obviously. On an artisan wholemeal cracker. Great starter/snack while waiting for my fish to bake - to be accompanied by three kinds of veg (no spuds)
Snacking on Brazil nuts while out and about today. I'm getting into the habit of carrying a small bag of them in my bag.

Let's see so far a crazy day. I had oatmeal, and I thought it was steel cut but not so my sugar went up to about 280 before it started coming down and yes I took my bonus 30 minutes prior to eating .

My mornings are usually good under 140 but even though I eat fewer carbs, I still seem to run high and then low. It is like the insulin is just sitting in my body even when I bolus. Even if I wait . I mean I will run low around 11 am which is not good because I need to eat lunch. And then low around 5 but again maybe to low. I can upload my sugars. Maybe you can see? It is like I need to do something to activate my dosage. I admit I sit a lot at my desk, and before I was traveling a lot so my body was moving

Cinnamon flax bun sounds interesting. Do you have a recipe? I too have realised that I have run out of cinnamon this eve. Must add to shopping list!

I just used the standard flax seed bun recipe:

1 egg
1 tablespoon of butter or cream
1/4 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
2 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Beat well
Microwave 1.5 mins - give or take depending on wattage.

Then today I bunged in a tsp of cinnamon and 2 tsp of erythritol. So it was surprising how little the flavour came through...

If you want something to have pate with, try these crackers:
http://www.diabeticgoodbaking.com/ Very yummy and easy to make!

I'll have a go at these.

The things I've been using are Peter's Yard artisan crisp bread:

Less carb than an oatcake and much less than any bread. But super-thin and wide, so great for loading up with things. I'm managing to avoid all bread at the moment (couple of weeks), with the occasional one of these and the occasional oatcake.
