What is your number 1 LCHF tip?

apart from cheese is your friend, my top tip is to accept that you can't have carbs and not to spend your time thinking of this as a short term diet fix.

Exactly - embrace the positive and think of it as a lifelong change for the better with great food. Don't think about all the 'old' foods you can't have, just remember them, fondly if you want, from a previous life. You've moved on.

I get cottage cheese with 1.2 grams carbohydrates/100grams and hard cheeses with variable amounts from ex 0.2 gm/100 gram [negligble] and some Spanish Manchego with 2.3 grams/100 grams.
Best to always carefully check the labels. Maybe in England are a good deal different .
 
3 cheeses and a handful of walnuts fills a corner and because it is tasty you don't crave sweet things later My favourite is stilton Almonds dipped in melted very dark choc along with a glass of red wine is my mega treat ;)

"Dont stint yourself" [ from the MIKADO ]
 
I start the day off with a mug of coffee blended with a tablespoon of coconut oil and tablespoon of unsalted butter...no need for cream....delicious, creamy gorgeousness!
 
LivLife low carb bread - about 4 carbs a slice
Definitely, definitely try cauliflower rice; use a cheese grater, grate the cauliflower then fry with lots of butter and a bit of salt and pepper; it's really good.
Salted pecans (not too many).
Coffee and cream.

I know you said 1 but there we go....

Homemade Mayonnaise. Egg yolks, Olive Oil, dash of lemon juice and white wine vinegar and whatever flavourings you want to add! Goes with everything.
 
Oooh I tried steamed cauli florets blended down into a purée with some cream, coconut oil & salt n pepper - delicious!!!!

The cauli-rice sounds tasty... a positive use for such a bland vegetable. Will try that this weekend, I think.
 
I find cheese during the day acceptable. However just before bed is a no no as I find it keeps me awake. As one who has trouble sleeping at the best of times I don't want to make matters worse.
 
Snacks? Just discovered organic peanut butter on celery sticks, not too often it's a real treat...
Otherwise I always keep an assortments of nuts on my person, I need the support as walking down the street is hard for me (I live in Paris and I go by a lt of patisseries on my way to work!).:)

Going nuts and liking it!!!
