Joy of joys! I’ve found low-carb bread in Asda of all places…
Unlike the gluten-free and vegan markets, low carb high-fat diets don’t lend themselves easily to convenience foods. Hey, that’s probably a good thing. And it’s not as if you don’t have plenty of choices when you factor in cream, cheese, eggs, nuts, meat and fish and all the other yummy things that do fit perfectly with this way of eating.
But bread. Bread! Ask many people on the LCHF way of life what they miss most, and we are willing to bet it’s bread. Yes, you can make low-carb bread (and we offer a recipe here), but it is expensive to make. 
This protein bread I found in Asda is made by Scheidner Brot, and it has about 4g of carbs per slice, 7g of fibre and 11g protein. Best of all, it does actually resemble bread – albeit it’s more similar to that heavy rye bread, sometimes called black bread. This packet cost me £1.50. Okay, it does have a lot of ingredients (our low-carb bread recipe, for example, has six things in it) and it’s not suitable for coeliacs, but still…
Ah, the possibilities that open up in front of me are endless! Toast with butter and Marmite! Toast with peanut butter and sliced cucumber… You need the cucumber because peanut butter is claggy, and the cucumber cuts through it. Or what about a healthy dollop of egg mayonnaise? Some chicken liver pate would be nice too, and there is always cheese on toast with a little dash of Worcestershire sauce. You can freeze it in slices for convenience.
I’m in bread heaven!

It is a pity I can’t tolerate wheat! Otherwise this would be great. I do miss cheese on toast and marmite on toast.

Oh but didn’t you know? It’s impossible to not tolerate wheat unless you are actually diagnosed coeliac, and it is VERY important not to give up gluten because it cures diabetes. It must be true because a dietician said so in the newspaper.
Actually my GP has come around to accepting and agreeing that “quite a lot of people seem to have trouble with wheat”
She did turn a bit of a funny colour though when I said I ate oatcakes (about 5 – 6g carbs) just to hold up the grass-fed butter and cheese.

I love low carb bread. I am a sucker for extra fiber. Alright maybe that is an overstatement

Yes, fibre-rich foods are good when you tend towards low-carb too.
