Not always when i worked as a nurse . We had toast as sister brought loaves of bread in . Many otherwise would not have eaten post surgery . A patient brought in honey his bees produced. It was wonderful. The patients had a feast then, No thought if providing a liw carb diet.
I eat under 40 gm of carb a day, but it comes from low carb veges, mushrooms and berries and that equals quite a bit of stuff to eat because the carb content is well below the 10% limit I set myself.
In the fairly recent past there have been times when I did not have anything but eggs, cheese, meat or fish to eat, I think the longest I did without fresh veges or fruit was three days, but I really did not feel any different having no carbs at all.

Any ideas how I can get a vinegar fix thanks . I loved beetroot and yes well s and v crisps but I realise they are not ever going to be on the menu . Celeriac has too much off its own taste. For celeriac and vinegar chips.

I eat loads of pickled beetroot and gherkins straight from the jar with no impact on my levels. Indeed vinegar seems to have a beneficial impact on my levels..
I also use the beetroot pickling juice in drinks again with no problem despite there being sugar added during the pickling process.
I would however encourage you to eat some of the beetroot too as there are benefits in the fibre and micro nutrients it contains.

On the app diet I follow its in the amber section similar to carrots so as I am overweight I had been trying to keep in the green section. But I may have more of it . However my sugar levels seem to be going up not down at the moment . Still below 10 but not in the 5s no more.
I have used cooked beetroot to make icecream - it is sweet, and peas with salt to make a 'peanut' flavoured frozen dessert.
My limit for selection is 10% carbs, except for chocolate, but I don't eat that regularly and not much at a time.
I use olive oil and vinegar as salad dressing.
In a short hospital stay, I told them I was Type 2 following a reduced carb eating plan. This is what I got served up with:
B: Sugary cereal in a box, full fat milk, a roll with butter and a jam sachet
L: Pre-packed white cheese salad sandwich, banana
D: A very nice chicken casserole in a tomato and onion sauce, plus 4 large boiled potatoes, steamed pudding and custard.
When I reminded them I was low carb, I was told that was what the previous patient in the bed had ordered for me, and there was no alternative. Thank goodness I was then discharged!
It is normally super low. But check packaging if not brought fresh from the market. We accidentally came home with a pack that had a lot of sugar added and was 13 or 15% (can't remember which). I've drifted into a low sugar world (I didn't have to, I can compensate with insulin) and noticed with the first mouthful that the beetroot tasted sweet.

I am really fussy with eggs . like them hot not cold . ie I used to eat egg on toast , I tried halloumi but for the salty taste .. so not again. I am really fed up with omelette, Frittata, oven quiche no crust . Off course ill try them again soon . Scrambled boiled coddled you name it Im egged. But not cold.
Other diets id have vinegar on green beans
