It is the make of a low carb bread soy and linseed but people have been finding it difficult to find in supermarkets but the carbs per slice make it a good option. There are other low carb breads to be found LivLife I believe is one

I find it really hard to find low carb bread. At the moment I use granary or seed sensation
 
@Donnawatson My Asda have started getting it in stock again, it has been "revamped" and now looks like this:
shopping

I tend to buy Hovis Nimble, smaller slices but 8.1 carbs per slice, so pretty low.

Supper - Hovis crackers with an Asda mature cheddar cheese stick
 
@Donnawatson Personally I still use Anchor spreadable or sometimes Aldi's "Valley" as it tastes much the same. I can't have anything containing olive oil and other spreads taste like plastic to me, so it has to be the real thing for me. I pick up cheaper spreads for hubby as I don't want his carby toast crumbs in my butter :rofl:
 
West Country butter with sea salt crystals. Or for cooking plain unsalted. Both natural products with no artificial stuff in them. No time for the spreadable things which are contaminated with water/oil.

Is lurpak OK though cos I love it

From a diabetic perspective yes as it has no carbs, but Lurpak spreadable is butter mixed with rapeseed oil, which is a transfat. Personally I give transfats a wide berth. You'd be better off with normal Lurpak. I just leave my butter out of the fridge so it is spreadable.

Anyway...
Thursday:
Breakfast: Greek yoghurt with blueberries
Lunch: Had a couple of girlfriends round for lunch which was home made minted pea soup with Morrisons wheat, spelt and rye bread. Followed by chocolate orange brioche pudding.
Evening: Wasn't hungry so just had an egg mayo and cress sandwich.

Friday:
Brunch: Egg Mayo, cress and Torchon ham sandwich on Morrisons bread.
Dinner: Half jacket potato with a beef in red wine stew. Small fruit platter with a bit of melon, some mango and blueberries.

Saturday:
Brunch: 2 poached eggs on 1 slice Morrisons bread toasted, 1 rasher thick cut bacon.
Dinner: Risotto made with dried and fresh mushrooms and a large dollop from a jar of "Delice aux Champignons with a whisper of truffle" or at least that's how I translated it.... it was a christmas gift to hubby. Been staring at me from the shelf every time I opened the cupboard, so decided to try it. Delicious in the risotto, and I didn't spike from the risotto!

Today:
Brunch: Scrambled eggs with some mushrooms not used in the risotto, 1 slice wheat, spelt and rye toasted.
Dinner: Will be roast pork, roasted Jerusalem artichokes with garlic and rosemary, roast carrots with cumin seeds and sprouts. Followed by the remains of the choccie orange brioche pud.

Your menu looks great.
I don't consider the 'spreadables' to be be real butter. The butter with the salt crystals seems a rarity at the moment in the shops.

Thank you! Me blushes... but do remember I am T1 and I wouldn't necessarily recommend the same to a T2.

Lidl do the West Country Butter with sea salt and ISTR Aldi also do it.
 
Sunday

Lunch - Hovis crackers with a mini stick of mature cheese, packet of Quavers. Two sugar free Marie biscuits with a cup of tea
Dinner - Pork Belly joint, few roast potatoes, stuffing, small yorkshire pudding, spring greens, a little roast carrot and gravy, followed by a few red seedless grapes
Supper - Hovis crackers and mini mature cheese stick. One mini Moments choc/ice cream lolly

Decaf coffee with sugar free caramel syrup and single cream. Another tea. Water.
 
Wow, looking through this thread shows how you all take great care in your diets.

Butter: I personally like the Kerrygold butter. Great taste.

Todays meals, pretty much the same as yesterday as the main food was split across two days (this is day 2)

Breakfast : Small amount of Shreddies & AllBran, half a small Banana, a touch of Skimmed Milk.
Morning Snack: A Pear. 1 Ryvita & Butter
Lunch: Small Tuna salad
Afternoon Snack: 1 Ritz biscuit thing & Butter
Tea: Teryaki Beef, carrots, Cauliflower
Evening Snack: Raspberries, Strawberries
Night: An Orange

All in 1105 Calories, 119g Carbs

Just a quick note.

The Teryaki beef is from M&S and is very tasty and good value as it does 4 meals
The carrots and cauliflower are both cooked in a beef stock in a Ninja Foodi as a pressure cooker. Cooking time 1 minute (but it does take 8 mins to get up to pressure). The taste is better than I have ever tasted....ever! I am amazed (so is my wife...with the taste, not my cooking 🙂 )

I never liked carrots or cauliflower much before. Now I really like them.

I am hearing you … type 1 and type 2 eat so differently due to having insulin replace your bodies own with type 1 whereas in type 2 we don’t usually get insulin as it’s there either not working properly or just not effective enough . I am however not going to be popular but on the forum it seems we need to divide and split out more . I’m so confused with low carb low cholesterol the few things I do eat only to find yikes you should not eat that. My bad mentality says grr and beats myself up with even worse stuff. It’s sorta diet mode your losing your exercising all good boxes ticked then you gain so you have a packet of crisps chocs cakes wine all the baddies just because perhaps you’ve gained more fluid that week . My pendulum for diabetes swings I eat porridge and no effect I have berries erythritol a Greek yoghurt n it swings up 5 Bmmols . But then it could be exercise trips to the loo it could be medication not sleeping and up half the night too. For type 2 I need to lose weight . I want to stop sweating going cold . Stop mod swings and the awful headaches but nowt works . I’ve tried metformin and did not get o it if bed except yo go to little room . I hate this. Has anyone else type 2 felt like forgetting about it and just not caring ? Then feel guilty.I guess because if type 1 we’d not have that choice. Many go into remission but are they the skinny ones ? I wish we had type 2 separate as I think type 1 may feel I think they are different and they are but that’s not to say I think less of you just I can’t get my head around what’s what☺️
