    Sorry, you lost me at "whole wheat flour". I'm sure these will work for some, but anyone who is doing ketosis for health reasons, not so much. That stuff is the devil, for me!

    But if it works for you, go for it! Good luck! :smiley:

    I have not seen these at my Lidl in Germany. Are they packaged or in the bakery section? I could definitely make these work!

    I have Celiac disease so I can't do wheat but I'd say if you have been eating them and meeting your goals they should be a good choice for you.

    A lot of people who do ketosis for health and not just weight loss have inflammatory issues that grains seem to worsen.

    I've seen these but never realised they were lower carb. (Are you talking about the ones in the bakery, triangular with seeds? ) . I usually avoid all bread to dodge future cravings but I guess it's good to know there is an option. How's the taste compare to traditional bread?

    For most there wouldn't ever be anything wrong with whole wheat flour, but for me, and others like me, it creates inflammation (as @anglyn1 mentioned) that leads to pain. This has been MY experience with it.

    If you can consume it without a noticeable pain response, that's wonderful for you!

    Wow, I'll have to look more closely! The Lidl bakery here doesn't post nutritional info, but I've seen rolls that look like what you described.

    By the way, do you get the "Deluxe" brand cheeses at your Lidl this time of year? They are amazing.

    For me they wouldn't work because I have an intolerance to wheat/gluten and avoid soy products for health reasons. But for someone who doesn't have those same restrictions, they look like they could be good to get your bread fix.

    i didnt realise so many people are intolerant to wheat/gluten,i can see why a low carb diet would be good for health reasons

    I'm not celiac, but I avoid anything when wheat is on the lable too.

    I kind of naturally fell into a low carb diet when I stopped eating Gluten. I'm not one to really eat packaged foods, so replacing things like bread and snacks with Gluten free options isn't really a thing for me. Once I ditched wheat/gluten, my diet naturally fell to less than 100g of carbs, most days it was between 50-75g. I'm now attempting Keto and can actually maintain at 50g gross carbs. It was a natural progression for me really.

    here they have a lot of types; English and Scottish cheddars, delicious soft French cheeses, GrNa Padano. Lidl usually only has them at Christmas and Easter. Also the leg of lamb and entrecôte you get get at this time are very good and well priced. I love me some Lidl at holiday time :).
